New Kids Lineup Premieres on Labor Day
(Jacksonville, FL, August 26, 2010) WJCT-TV is pleased to support science learning for preschoolers by joining the nationwide premiere of The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! The much anticipated series joins the WJCT kids’ lineup on Monday, September 6 on WJCT-TV 7.1 (Comcast 8, 440). Voiced by award-winning actor Martin Short, the animated series features Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat, a curious, compelling character who guides friends Sally and Nick on fun-filled adventures where they make natural-science discoveries, from how bees make honey to why owls sleep during the day. Based on Random House’s bestselling Beginner Book franchise, “The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library,” the series is designed to appeal to preschoolers’ natural curiosity and engage them in the process of scientific exploration and discovery.
The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! joins WJCT’s preschool block, airing seven days a week at 8:30 a.m. beginning September 6. The series kicks off with a two-episode mini-marathon on September 6 at 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Beginning September 7, Sid the Science Kid moves to 11 a.m., immediately following Sesame Street. On weekday afternoons, Dinosaur Train and Curious George rebroadcast the morning episodes at 3 and 3:30 p.m., respectively, with Cyberchase moving to 6:30 a.m. where school kids can watch in the mornings.
