When CET changes its kids programming line-up for Fall, one mainstay of PBS Kids programming will be noticeably missing. I’m referring to Reading Rainbow. It’s sad, but true - the end of watching Reading Rainbow on PBS with your kids is official: the rights expire on August 28, 2009. You’ll no longer be able to tune into Reading Rainbow on CET or any of the other local public television stations after this date. For more information and details check out an article at Current.org, the public media news website.
There is no official word yet on the status of the Reading Rainbow Young Writers and Illustrators Contest, but the Current.org article gives the most up to date information available. What do you think? Will you be sad about the absence of Reading Rainbow on TV? Would you be crushed if the contest fell by the wayside as well?
For the time being, you can watch episodes of Reading Rainbow on CET Kids (Time Warner Cable channel 931) weekdays at 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm and on Saturdays at 6am. Tape these episodes while you can!
