  • Presto in January
    Media Release: Thursday, December 17, 2015 Presto in January True Detective season 1 starts its investigation on Presto along with new seasons of Ray Donovan, Penny Dreadful and The Americans Presto today announced key programming set to kick off the New Year starting with the critically acclaimed True Detective (season 1). The edge-of-your-seat anthology crime drama is a Presto SVOD exclusive and centres on the lives of Louisiana State Police homicide detectives Rustin "Rust" Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin "Marty" Hart (Woody Harrelson) and follows a seventeen- year journey of flashbacks where the two detectives recount a murder. With the perpetrator still at large, it’s a race against time for these two men to piece things together and stop the cycle. Also streaming in January, is the third season of tough guy drama, Ray Donovan starring Liev Schreiber, as the title character. Ray is a "fixer" for L.A.’s elite celebrities, athletes and business moguls when they need to make their problems disappear. But no amount of money can mask Ray's past, which continues to haunt him and threatens to destroy everything he has built for himself. Many people are familiar with the classic tales of Dr. Frankenstein and Dorian Gray. Penny Dreadful brings those and other characters into a new light by exploring their origin stories in this psychological thriller that takes place in the dark corners of Victorian London. Presto adds season 2 from January. Finally, The Americans introduces viewers to Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, two KGB spies in an arranged marriage who are posing as Americans during the 1980s.

    2012 Context Study of the Use of Technology and PBS KIDS Transmedia in the Home Environment A REPORT TO THE CPB-PBS READY TO LEARN INITIATIVE September 2012 S CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 RESEARCH APPROACH 2 FINDINGS 12 FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS 34 REFERENCES 37 APPENDICES A-1 © Copyright 2012 by Education Development Center and SRI International. INTRODUCTION The 2012 Context Study of the Use of Technology and PBS KIDS Transmedia in the Home Environment (Home Study) is an important part of the multiyear summative evaluation by Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), and SRI International (SRI) of the CPB-PBS Ready To Learn Initiative. The evaluation is focused on documenting and, whenever possible, measuring the impact of transmedia mathematics and literacy resources on learning for children from low-income families in preschool, community, or home settings. The Home Study is an extension and expansion on the Ready To Learn Parents and Caregivers Study (Parent Study), which explored the use of technology and media at home through surveys and focus groups. The study responds to a need to deeply understand family patterns of media and technology use at home—a need recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), PBS, and the summative evaluation research team. This Home Study extends the survey and focus group analyses produced in our Parent Study by analyzing first-hand information on the ways in which Ready To Learn families adopt, use, and report benefitting from technology and PBS KIDS Transmedia in their homes. This work has been critical to the larger Ready To Learn for two reasons.
