History AdoredByTheNetwork / PBSKids

* WGBH adores ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge2006''. They give it at least two airings every weekday, give it plenty of promotion, and even tweak the schedule shown on most affiliates just to air the show more.

** ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' ran on the network longer than it did on any other affiliate and even longer than it did on TV Ontario. It was one of two shows [[note]] the other one being ''Series/BetweenTheLions''[[/note]] on KGTF to keep its timeslots throughout it' entire run, with the show airing weekdays at 8:00AM and weekends at 8:30AM.

* In June and July of 2016, PBS reran the first 10 episodes of ''Odd Squad'' season 2 over and over in order to familiarize the audience with the new characters. Eventually, they went back to rerunning the old episodes alongside the new ones.

* After its' premiere, ''[[Series/SesameStreet Sesame Street: Elmo's Playdate]]'' was aired at least twice a day every single day. The same thing also happened with the sequel special ''The Power of We''. After it was taken off, however, the special was never made available on [=DVD=] or any streaming services (no, not even on Creator/HBOMax).

*** When ''Series/DonkeyHodie'' temporarily went into reruns after the first 13 episodes aired, "Spooky Shadow Swamp; Hidden Orchestra" tended to play more often than any other of the episodes from that batch, airing at least every 3 days. This problem occured even after 5 more episodes were added to rotation.

* As of TheNewTens, PBS Kids has enough faith in their shows that they order a hefty 40-episode first season for most of them, and also immediately order hour-long specials and tie-in apps. They also tend to upload episodes of their shows on their video app prior to the premiere, similar to what Cartoon Network does. They have done this with ''Ready Jet Go!'', ''Pinkalicious & Peterrific'', and ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' has the most airtime of any show on the 24/7 channel, airing for 3 hours everyday. However, this isn’t as bad as other examples since it leaves a lot of room for variety.

** They even run the movies considered to be "Family Night" ones outside of that block as {{filler}}. ''The Rhythm and Roots of Arthur'' and ''The Daniel Tiger Movie: Won't You Be Our Neighbor?'' tend to be the most frequently shown movies that fufill this purpose as of April 2020, especially the former.

* PBS loves promoting ''Series/DonkeyHodie''. Before it aired, they aired many sneak peaks of the musical numbers and aired promos about the characters themselves. They also had several parenting blogs preview the show and make flying flapjacks to celebrate. After it premiered, they constantly put ads for the show on Twitter ad spaces, the official Website/YouTube channel uploaded many episodes and compilation videos of the show onto their channel, and they even had two Family Night marathons of the show, with one of them lasting four hours.

*** When ''Series/DonkeyHodie'' temporarily went into reruns after the first 13 episodes aired, "Spooky Shadow Swamp; Hidden Orchestra" tended to play more often than any other of the episodes from that batch, airing at least every 3 days. This problem occured even after 5 more episodes were added to rotation: for instance, on September 9th and September 10th of 2021, the episode played for two days in a row on the PBS Kids channel!

* ''Ready Jet Go!'' got this treatment. 6 months after it premiered, it was renewed for a second season due to high ratings and critical acclaim. It also received several tie-in games within that period, and before the television premiere, PBS released several episodes of the show on the app. However, as of 2018, this special treatment has waned for no reason whatsoever.

* After its' premiere, ''[[Series/SesameStreet Sesame Street: Elmo's Playdate]]'' was aired at least twice a day every single day.

** "To The Rescue" got similar treatment on Creator/{{CBBC}}: since ''The Noddy Shop'' aired twice a day at its' peak, you'd have a slight chance of it airing in one of the morning slots for the show.

* The first incarnation of the channel, which ran from 1999 to 2005, aired three episodes of ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' [[note]]which, unlike most PBS Kids shows, always ran in production order otherwise[[/note]] in weekly rotation whenever the network was on the first season of the show: "The Tooth Fairy", "To The Rescue" and "The Trouble With Truman" (and "Telling Tails" to a lesser extent). If the second season was what they were up to, the two episodes featuring Disrupto ("Big Bullies" and "The Human Touch") would be played at least two more times. The latter two episodes were so beloved by the channel that they would randomly air as the channel progressed through the first season. For instance, in October of 2000, the Disrupto episodes played on two consecutive days in the middle of Season 1 in between "The Magic Show" and "The Big Mess".

** In a rare example of this trope being caused by a broadcaster error, ''The Noddy Shop'' episode "The Fish Story" aired twice during the week of March 19, 2000 due to a mistake caused by a pledge drive pre-empting the show's regular time slot for an entire week and the programmers forgetting which episode came next in production order. [[note]] Unlike most PBS shows, airings of ''The Noddy Shop'' ran in production order rather than showing random episodes. Since "We All Say Boo!", episode 20, aired on the Friday before pledge week, the broadcaster mixed up "Trying Something New", which was episode 21, and "The Fish Story" was episode 22. Instead of airing the former episode when the show came back, "The Fish Story" accidentally aired twice. The next runthrough of the series fixed the mistake.[[/note]]
** ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' episodes "Going On A Bear Hunt" and "Waiting for Mr. [=MacRooney=]" aired every week that month.

* PBS loved ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales''. They promoted it a lot and also gave it both a morning and afternoon timeslot [[note]] and, depending on the station, a third timeslot would sometimes be added[[/note]] when it first aired. Even after it was cancelled in 2005, it always held a prominent spot in their morning preschool lineup, only getting dropped in 2010 to make room for ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHatKnowsALotAboutThat''.
