Isn't PBS Kids OTA, here is Massachusetts PBS World, Create, and Kids is OTA 44-1,2,3,4.
PBS Kids, PBS HD, PBS You, etc. are all available OTA if a local PBS affiliate broadcasts in digital television (DTV) and wants to carry them as digital multicast "sub-channels". That is the main reason that cable and DBS don't pick up more of these as "basic", or whatever - they're allowing the local affiliates to carry these themselves. Surprisingly, though, the FCC has already ruled that MSO's (in particular) do not have to carry more than one digital multiplex of a local affiliate who may have, say, four or five multiplex "sub-channels" going.
