PBS Kids Go! was an educational television brand used by PBS for programs aimed at early elementary-age children (mainly kids aged between 6 and 13 years old), in contrast to the younger, preschool target demographic of PBS Kids (which targeted kids between 2 and 6 years old).[1] Most PBS member stations aired the PBS Kids Go! block on weekdays during after-school hours, generally 3-6 pm depending on local station scheduling.[2] In addition to the block, there was a PBS Kids Go! section on the PBS Kids website which featured games, videos, and other activities that were geared toward older kids.[3] The brand was used on air and online for nearly nine years from 2004 to 2013 after which the brand was dropped and the PBS Kids branding was used for all PBS Kids programming.
