PBS Kids TV Online

For the little ones, Spreety TV Online has created a new video highlighting tips and tricks for watching PBS Kids TV online.

To start, from the main Spreety TV Online site, select “TV Sites”, then “PBS Kids”. The PBS Kids video player will appear. The player defaults to the “Channels” tab. It is recommended to switch to the “Shows” tab. Each of the shows will randomly re-order each time the shows tab is selected, so if you do not see your show, use the down arrow to scroll for additional shows.

Once a show has been selected, it is recommended to click on the “Full Episodes” on the list. For each full episode, the player has a pause, slider bar for forward / rewind, a “Big” button for full screen, and a “CC” button for closed captions. When watching multiple full episodes in full screen, unfortunately, the PBS Kids player will reduce back down to the small size between episodes, so just be ready to click “Big” a second time.

The shows with full episodes online are Animalia, Arthur, Cyberchase, Dragonfly TV, The Electric Company, FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman, Fizzy’s Lunch Lab, Kratts’ Creatures, Martha Speaks, Maya & Miguel, Postcards from Buster, SciGirls, Wilson & Ditch Digging America, and Wordgirl.

As for PBS Sprout TV shows online, not much is available as full episodes on the PBS site. As alternatives, for Sesame Street, use the SesameStreet.org website, and for Caillou, use Netflix video on demand.

There’s plenty more to watch. If you would like to learn more about kids TV online, please visit the Spreety TV Online site, and look under TV Genres, Kids.

Music Online

Online music has come a long ways since the infamous file sharing days. Today, there are so many legal places to listen to music online; there is no need for the alternatives. So, Spreety.com put together a video about the right places to listen to music online, including radio stations and music videos.

Among the top picks, AOL Radio hosts thousands of radio stations categorized by genre. The genres include Blues, Classic, Christian Rock, Jazz, R&B, Country, and more. In addition to the genres, many local stations are online, such as, for Los Angeles, the popular K-EARTH 101 and KNX 1070.

AOL’s Spinner has full CD parties, where a variety of top CD’s can be selected and played online. Individual tracks as well as the entire CD can be played on demand.
For music videos, several of the TV stations have their music videos online. As examples, BET (Black Entertainment Television), CMT (Country Music Television), GAC (Great America Country), MTV, VH1, and VH1 Classic all host an extensive library of top performers online.

Possibly, the most unique of the online music players is Pandora Radio. Pandora is completely customizable, and is based on the ten year old Music Genome Project. The Music Genome Project classifies every song based on what each individual song sounds like. By typing in a few preferences, Pandora is able to play many more songs of a similar nature. If a song plays that one does not like, a simple thumbs-down will remove it and songs similar to it. Pandora has taken customization to a whole new level.

Lastly, Yahoo! Kids hosts thousands of music videos that are perfectly appropriate for the little ones.

If you would like to learn more about music online, please visit the Spreety TV Online site, and look under TV Genres, Music & Radio to enjoy music online.
