PBS is starting a new 24-hour channel dedicated solely to children’s programming.

The channel, which will be called PBS Kids and will be announced on Tuesday, will be free. It is expected to debut later this year — most likely in the fall. PBS Kids will also be available online with a live stream.

More children’s programming is available than ever, much of it being watched through streaming services and on-demand.

Netflix has significantly increased its children’s offerings in recent years, and it is expected to have 35 original series for children by year’s end.

Last month, HBO began broadcasting the latest season of “Sesame Street,” after it took over first-run rights for the series from PBS. HBO has said more children’s programming is coming, and Amazon has also produced shows aimed at that demographic.
