Twitch to run Mister Rogersʼ Neighborhood marathon

Friday, May 12, 2017 

I'm not sure what Twitch and Mister Rogers have in common, but Twitch will be streaming over 800 episodes of Mister Rogersʼ Neighborhood in a marathon beginning Monday at noon PDT.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Episodes will air without commercial breaks though there will be some spots encouraging support for local PBS stations. Twitch also will encourage viewers to make donations that will support local PBS stations through a donation panel on the site.

It's nice to see an Internet media company like Twitch promoting and raising money for PBS, especially at this important time. Mister Rogersʼ Neighborhood is a perfect example of the kind of thoughtful and educational programming that public broadcasting has made possible.
