PBS Kids Channel In My Area?

Man, this is pretty ridiculous. If WHYY has enough bandwidth for a new PBS Kids channel, why can't they launch it on Jan. 16 already? What's the long wait for?

My kids would really love to see "Sesame Street" right before their bedtime. It'll be a darn shame if WHYY or WLVT won't launch PBS Kids on time.
WHYY is picking it up later this year according to the website
