PBS Kids Laptop Case, Dinosaur Train Luggage Tag & Note Pad with accordion pockets. Do you know what PBS stands for? It's the Public Broadcasting Service - the "Service" is made up of public television stations all across the U.S. These local stations choose which PBS programs to show on TV and what time to show them. Public television stations do more than just broadcast television programs. Some produce local TV shows and plan activities for kids, parents and teachers in their community. PBS stations start kids' clubs, run story contests, invite PBS characters to your town, and much more!
