PBS and Amazon.com have signed a new multi-year deal for content including more NOVA, more Masterpiece and several Ken Burns documentaries (notably The Civil War). Kids shows like Arthur, Wild Kratts and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (a spinoff of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, already on Amazon along with Sesame Street) will join the fold, as will additional episodes of Calliou and Dinosaur Train. Those kids' series are among the many that PBS will make available in a new Kindle app for children called FreeTime Unlimited, which also includes educational games (and a time lock for parents).
Financial terms were not disclosed, but PBS reported $46 million in undesignated video revenue in 2011, when the companies last signed an agreement.
