PBS is the #1 trusted public service in America. WQED is airing engaging, entertaining and academically sound programming, without commercials, for free on all three of our channels, WQED TV, and WQED's Neighborhood and Create Channels. Almost 12 hours of our weekday are spent with children thoughtfully enjoying shows that shape their childhood, before school, after school, online and more. Join us today!

In the Summer of 2010, WQED Multimedia and the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh are entering into a unique partnership to educate the children and parents of our region about science, technology and discovery. Leveraging the traveling exhibition, Curious George: Let's Get Curious!, in conjunction with the television show, Curious George, these two organizations are thinking uniquely about how to engage parents in helping their kids be curious - for a lifetime.
