PBJ was an American TV channel made just for kids! It was a special project between two companies, Luken Communications and DreamWorks Classics. PBJ started showing programs in the summer of 2011. It had 19 local TV stations that showed its programs across the country. The channel stopped broadcasting in March 2016. This happened because NBCUniversal bought the company that owned it.
What PBJ Showed
PBJ aired many fun shows from the DreamWorks Classics collection. These included classic cartoons and adventure series. Some popular shows were The Archie Show, Mr. Magoo, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Other shows included The Lone Ranger, Gumby, and Lassie. The channel also showed programs about cars from Tuff TV. Sometimes, they aired paid programming, which are like long commercials.
