Is that correct? If so, thank you.

1. We no longer get to watch Sesame Street because I only allow my child to watch a limited amount of TV first thing in the morning. I think when parents asked for it to be later they didn’t necessarily mean 11am!!!!!!! 8am? I also like the suggestion of having it TWICE in a day!!!!!!!
2. The lack of routine in the programming. My child NEVER knows what to expect in the morining. We’ve actually considered not watching PBS in the morning because that’s the ony way we can maintain a semblence of a routine.
3. Shows like Sid the Science Kid and Super Why (though we like them) only have about 7 episodes!!!! They’ve already repeated about 5 times and it is only October!!!!!

I hope that there is some serious thought in regards to children’s behavior with any future decisions.

We are also very sad about the disappearance of our Teletubbie friends. I understand that this show has been out of production for some time and that was the reason for the decision, but it was my 2-year-old’s favorite part of each day.

Thank you for listening.

Moving Sesame Street back to a later slot is great for kids who stay at home with their parents, but it’s a real loss for the young kids of working parents. The replacement shows simply do not have the appeal or educational content.

I used the program to teach sign language to my students. Please consider moving it to mid-morning.

It’s so difficult to keep track of what is coming on PBS kids as there is a change everyday. We liked watching Mr Rogers Neihbourhood too which came M-F at 6.30 am to 7am.

I wouldn’t want my kids to watch Sponge Bob in the morning before leaving for school.

My older children were motivated to get up and get ready for school because they could watch Sesame Street before it was time to leave. We do NOT like the shows that come on at that time. We will no longer be watching unless it changes back to more appropriate shows that will hold their interest. If you want to put Sesame Street on later – do it for the summer programming when children are home and sleep in.

Because of the times they get out of school, moving the time of Arthur up to 3 is terrible, no one gets to watch the entire show. Arthur contains wonderful lessons for pre-K to my 6th grader. Moving it 4 would even be better to catch all ages of kids who love Marc Brown’s stories. Also, what happened to Texas Parks and Wildlife on Sunday morning? This is a show our entire family enjoys! We will have to rethink our funding this year.

money in my opinion. Sesame Street could be a great show if they would either remove the characters that speak in third person or ones that use the “w” sound for their “r’s” or just simply make them speak correctly. Big, Big World is being bashed around quite a bit; although I do not see why since it is educational. Maybe it is the parents that don’t like it. My son loves it. I applause KLRU for their continued hard work and dedication to the education of our youths.

Thank you,
Monica

It is nice to see shows that actually teach toddlers and small children to speak clearly. Any show that uses baby-talk is a waste of time and
