Bento Console and some Bento sites down

Last update
Resolved

There was an issue with our firewall cache proxy which caused the Bento console and some hosted bento sites to be down for about 15-20 minute. This was quickly resolved by our Digital Dev Ops team (before I could even finish investigating and posting a status), and the sites should be functioning now as expected.If you still see any issues, please submit a support ticket at https://digitalsupport.pbs.org/support/tickets/new and/or email me directly at jhilton@pbs.org.

AIM Interstitials not playing on the PBS KIDS livestream

Last update
Resolved

This incident has now been resolved.Local interstitials returned to the KIDS 24/7 stream across all PBS platforms and External partners on 3/21 at 6AM ET. They returned to the stream on 3/17 at 11PM ET, but at a 63 second duration so PBS platforms could not air them. Some partners received the local interstitials and may have aired them, but any reporting between 3/17 and 3/21 should be considered incomplete.

Identified

Starting at or around 6:30 AM ET on 3/13/25, interstitials have stopped playing on the PBS KIDS livestream across all platforms. We are currently working to fix the error in the source stream.
