[Durham, NH, March 26, 2020]  Responding to the need for educational resources for students as schools close due to the coronavirus, New Hampshire PBS WORLD Channel, in partnership with PBS LearningMedia, will begin broadcasting At Home Learning programs for grades 6-12 on Monday, March 30, from Monday – Friday at 12 - 5pm. These daily free-over-the-air broadcasts will feature the best in public media science, history and other educational programming. 

This At Home Learning block -- suited to WORLD’s everyday schedule of news, information and documentary programming -- has been carefully curated and supplemented with related assets from PBS LearningMedia, a free online service of thousands of compelling educational resources. https://nhpbs.pbslearningmedia.org/

In our region, NHPBS WORLD Channel is broadcast over-the-air on channel 11.3, and carried across the state on Comcast 956, Fibercast 20, Metrocast 288, Charter/Spectrum 1276. Contact your service provider to find more channels.

“In these challenging times, our public media mission to support students with the educational resources needed to thrive is more important than ever,” said Peter Frid, NHPBS President and CEO. “While our WORLD At Home Learning programs are geared to middle and high school students, our 24/7 PBS Kids service and daytime on our main channel target children in primary-school grades.” 

“With a commitment to educational multimedia, NHPBS delivers curriculum-based resources that support parents and teachers in achieving children’s learning goals,” said NHPBS Educational Services Manager, Susan Adams. “We recognize that many families do not have access to the internet or computers at home, so we are leveraging our public media TV broadcast channels to reach teachers, students and caregivers across the state.”

New Hampshire PBS also provides daily educational updates and resources for parents, teachers and students for remote learning. Go to nhpbs.org/learnathome for more resources.
