PBS KIDS Sprout
The multi-platform approach was designed to appeal to different viewing habits; the PBS KIDS Sprout channel featured dayparted programming blocks, with hosted segments such as activities, features, and promotions for supplemental content on PBS KIDS Sprout's website. To increase the variety of its schedule, Sprout did not repackage short-form series into half-hour episodes with interstitial segments, as had usually been the case for series imported for U.S. broadcast. The channel only carried advertising between programs, which were aimed towards parents and caregivers.
