PBS is Introducing a New FAST Channel on Roku Called PBS Retro With All of Your Nostalgic Favorites
There is something truly special about showing a young loved one a favorite show or movie that you grew up watching. PBS has been the home of some beloved children’s classics including Reading Rainbow, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Thomas and Friends and so many more. Now, PBS is offering a way to rewatch those nostalgic classics on a brand-new channel called PBS Retro.
It is a new free FAST channel available on Roku and will feature shows from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s in a 24/7 viewing experience. “We recognize how important PBS programming has been for generations and PBS Retro creates a space where viewers can revisit cherished shows from their youth but also share these timeless series with a new audience,” said Andrea Downing, President of PBS Distribution.
