Why not just use the PBS Kids app? My daughter adores it.

Does it have past episodes of all the shows?

Don't you mean "Screw you PBS!"?

Amazon is the one who chooses to block access on a wide range of media players (Chromecast, Apple TV, etc), in order to try to push their Fire TV platform.

We are Amazon Prime subscribers, and I wouldn't mind this a bit if I didn't have to either use an arcane interface on my BluRay player, or buy a separate dedicated media play in order to watch Amazon content.

It takes two parties to make a deal. And when one of them is a huge corp like Amazon, it is more plausible that PBS was "made an offer they couldn't refuse." Amazon is known to use underhanded tactics to monopolize markets. (Ie. Removing competitor items from their stores.)

Maybe if PBS was better funded thru all channels they wouldn't feel the need to do this.
