The financial impact on PBS Hawai‘i was sharp and deep, reflecting the suffering of our fellow Islanders. When schools shut down, students lacking digital access were hard-pressed to join their classmates online. As an educational media organization, we had already made these moves: • Substantially strengthened our statewide over-the-air broadcast relay system so that many homes in under-resourced areas across the Islands can better receive our programming, without the household cost of wi-fi, cable, or satellite dishes. • Launched, in 2019, an additional channel, PBS KIDS 24-7, distributed over-the- air, on cable, online and via satellite, which provides curriculum-rich, engaging programming for children ages 2-8.
