Ultimately, thousands of hours of PBS video will be included – extensive archives & back-catalogue, content from PBS broadcast TV spanning all its genres, as well as from local PBS
stations, feature-length films and documentaries, live events and performances, exclusive web-only content, and more. More content will be added literally every week. And, PBS producers are planning to deliver regular web-original content – one of the network’s biggest
opportunities.”
