PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, has announced the launch of a new service called PBS Passport, which allows viewers to access an extensive library of on-demand content from their favorite PBS shows. The service, which is available to PBS members who donate a minimum of $5 per month, offers a wide range of programming, including popular series like “Masterpiece,” “NOVA,” and “American Experience.”
With PBS Passport, viewers can watch full episodes of their favorite programs on their computer, smartphone, or smart TV, anytime and anywhere. This new service is part of PBS’s efforts to adapt to the evolving media landscape and meet the growing demand for streaming content.
“PBS Passport is a game-changer for PBS viewers who want to watch their favorite shows on their own schedule,” said Paula Kerger, PBS President and CEO. “With this new service, PBS is making it easier than ever for viewers to access high-quality, educational programming that they can trust.”
To sign up for PBS Passport, viewers need to create an account on the PBS website and link it to their local PBS station. Once they have done this, they can start streaming content from the PBS library immediately. In addition to full episodes of shows, PBS Passport also offers exclusive extras and behind-the-scenes content that are not available anywhere else.
PBS Passport is a valuable tool for educators, as it allows them to access a wealth of educational content that can be used in the classroom. With the service, teachers can easily find and stream documentaries, history programs, and other educational shows that align with their curriculum.
In addition to providing on-demand content, PBS Passport also gives viewers the opportunity to support their local PBS station. By becoming a member and donating to PBS, viewers help ensure that high-quality programming remains on the air and accessible to everyone.
