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).

Line 2: ===Background=== ~~'''PBS~~In ~~Distribution''' (PBSd for short~~2011, ~~formerly "PBS Video", and "[[PBS Home Video]]") was formed in~~ the ~~1980s to distribute~~ [[PBS]] programming on tape. Originally, the company has released videos under its own label "PBS Video", but they did not use a proper logo prior to 1990, and even then PBS Video remained a separate label, targeting the educational market. PBS Home Video went through a slew of distributors, such as [[Pacific Arts]] (1989-1994), [[Turner Home Entertainment]] (1994-1997), [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment\|~~Warner~~'''P'''ublic ~~Home~~'''B'''roadcasting ~~Video~~'''S'''ervice]] ~~(1997-2004), and [[Paramount Home Entertainment]] (2004-2012). In 2011, PBS~~ 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). ===Logo (2009-2020?)=== <gallery mode="packed" heights="224"> File:PBS Distribution (2009).png </gallery> ~~</gallery>~~{{YouTube\|id=https://youtu.be/HXXZWFUO51Y}} '''Visuals:''' ~~Just~~Essentially just the blue custom variant of the then-current 2009 PBS logo with no distribution indicator whatsoever.
