PBS Kids Corporate Office

PBS Kids

Under the original PBS label, the company had always run children’s programming, such as Mister Roger’s Neighborhood and Sesame Street.

However, in 1994, the company decided to place all children’s shows under one channel. On July 11, 1994, PBS repackaged their existing children’s educational programming as a new block called “PTV”, airing on 11 member stations at launch.

On September 6, 1999, PBS launched the 24-hour PBS Kids television network.[12] The separate PBS Kids Network was available on high-tier subscription providers and was also offered to PBS member stations for use on a “cablecast” service or for use on the member station’s free-to-air analog channel to provide a portion of the daytime PBS Kids programming on the station.

History

Participating stations were required to pay an annual fee of $1,000 to use the feed. 

The company received a $961,000 grant to start a Super Why Reading Camp in Arizona in May 2022.

The public television station’s PBS Kids SUPER WHY Camp is an early literacy, evidence-based pre-kindergarten summer school transition program for 4- and 5-year-old students with little or no preschool experience in targeted low-income communities.

The popular kids show Arthur is slated to be scrapped at the end of 2022 after running for 25 seasons.

PBS Kids maintains a corporate office in Arlington, Virginia.

Lipton Corporate Office

Lipton

Lipton Tea was founded in 1890 by Sir Thomas Lipton of Scotland.

Lipton used his savings to open a small tea shop. Within just a few years, Lipton owned 200 shops around Scotland.

Shortly after opening his shop, Thomas Lipton began traveling the world for new items to sell. One such item was tea, a rare and expensive luxury at the time. Sales had doubled from £40 million in the late 1870s to £80 million by the mid-1880s.

History

In 1890 Lipton purchased tea gardens in Ceylon, now called Sri Lanka, from where he packaged and sold the first Lipton tea. 

He arranged packaging and shipping at the lowest possible cost and sold his tea in packets by the pound, half-pound, and quarter-pound, along with the advertising slogan: “Direct from the tea gardens to the teapot.”

Lipton teas were an immediate success in the United States.

Lipton was acquired by Unilever in 1972.

In 2011, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) criticized Unilever for conducting and funding experiments on rabbits, pigs, and other animals in an attempt to make human health claims about the tea’s ingredients.

According to the animal rights organization, Unilever decided to end the practice of Lipton products after receiving more than 40,000 appeals from PETA supporters and days before PETA made plans to launch its “Lipton CruelTEA” campaign.

 Unilever no longer tests their products on animals unless required to by governments as part of their regulatory requirements.

Lipton states that tea, especially green and black teas, supports a healthy immune function.

Ready to drink tea in bottles is in high demand in the US and the market is expected to experience tremendous growth over the next few years.

Lipton maintains a corporate office in New South Wales, Australia.
