A majority of web browsers have stopped supporting Flash in preparation for Adobe’s plan to completely retire Flash by 2020. Currently, over 80% of traffic to PBSKIDS.org comes from Flash-blocked browsers.
PBS KIDS will start retiring all Flash content in October 2018, including all Flash websites and games, to ensure our users are getting the best experience on pbskids.org. We expect all the targeted content listed below will be removed by November 30, 2018.
Please note that for those series continuing to air on the PBS KIDS 24/7 channel, video content will continue to be distributed through the PBS KIDS video player/app. Refer to the “Resources” column below for substitutions and resources.
