PBS Distribution

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

In 2011, the Public Broadcasting Service formed a joint venture with WGBH Educational Foundation to expand their distribution operations, forcing PBS Home Video to sever their ties with Paramount Home Entertainment, as well as merging their home video unit with WGBH Home Video, resulting in the creation of PBS Distribution (PBSd for short). Today, PBSd handles distribution of not just PBS and PBS Kids product but also programming from fellow public TV distributor American Public Television and even a few children's programs that were never shown on PBS, including Regal Academy (which is released under its SkipRope banner).
