The KNPB Birthday Club was established for the younger viewers of public broadcasting. It is important to the PBS family that the children understand the importance of public television and the impact that it makes on the lives in our community. You have undoubtedly read the debate about violence on children s programs.
Parents are alarmed with the amount and degree of violence depicted in many television offerings.
PBS programs have never been in question. You have always known that you can trust Channel 5 and PBS to present wholesome, educational and entertaining programs that prepare children for learning and are in themselves a learning experience. When the federal funding debate was at its height, the quality of PBS programs for children was the example most used to argue for continuance of funding. For years KNPB has brought quality children's programming to the viewing audience, and thanks to the Birthday Club, children can now have official items from their favorite shows. The KNPB Birthday Club would like to welcome you and your child, and hope that you enjoy all the wonderful things that this station has to offer your family.
