With the holiday season approaching, celebrations and tributes are prevalent this month on South Florida PBS starting with everyone’s favorite children’s program, Sesame Street.
It was fifty years ago when someone looking for directions first asked, “Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?” Fortunately, that question has been answered many times since then by a grouch, a big bird and other familiar characters. Sesame Street’s 50th Anniversary Celebration will be broadcast on November 17th at 7PM on WBPT. It will also be broadcast on November 21st at 8PM on WXEL.
South Florida PBS has even more to celebrate this month with America’s Test Kitchen’s 20th Anniversary. Famished foodie fans can pull up a chair when the party starts on November 23 at 3PM on WXEL and November 24th at 3PM on WPBT.
Florida best-selling author, Brad Meltzer premieres his new co-created kid’s program, Xavier Riddle and The Secret Museum on November 11th. Viewers will meet famous historical figures as they time travel with Xavier and his friends.
