Prime Games Filler 2 opens with the Narrator inside the Set of Decades from Prime Games & Club PM Narrator: Welcome to Prime Games. Tonight its a sad day for PBS Fans everywhere. Every great game starts with a foundation. For public media, that's the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. For over 50 years, CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) has built the worlds we learn in.
From the TV screen to the digital space, CPB ensures everyone has a chance to play and learn. Their investment makes spaces like ours possible from Education in Schools, to TV Games like Quizmasters & Carmen Sandiego.
Narrator: As we take a moment to honor the legacy of the CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting). Their work ensures the final score in education is always a win for the community and so a moment of silence with 10 Bells to honor the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Thank You for being an inspiration to Kids, Adults and Teachers Worldwide.
Narrator: "Every hero needs a starting level, a place to learn the rules, and find their power-ups. For decades, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been building those worlds right in your living room.
They helped create the ultimate open-world adventures! From solving mysteries with detectives to rocketing to the stars on science quests, they made learning the best game ever, give us a purple dinosaur that loves us all (Barney & Friends), a Tank Engine who's station gives us lessons on Family, Friends, Teamwork, Honesty and Trust (Thomas & Friends), a school bus with wacky field trips on science (Magic School Bus), a friendly neighborhood host with an imagination land red car (Mr. Roger's Neighborhood), instructions on how to get to Sesame Street, they took us on a global and timeline chase in pursuit of the most dashing National Treasure Master Thief and her zany henchmen with comedy sketches that made History and Geography fun with a TV Game (Carmen Sandiego), took us on adventures far away and long ago (Wishbone, Wonderworks), showed us how kids learn their letters by homing in on their English Language Skills (Learn to Read, Between the Lions), kids learned their history (Documentaries), Science (NOVA), Math & Numbers (Square One Television), Life Lessons (The Puzzle Place, Arthur) and more.
So as we salute their legacy, remember: Your adventure is just beginning. Level up your curiosity, find your quest, and keep exploring!
To parents, who want screen time to be 'safe time,' 'quality time,' 'growth time.' The Corporation for Public Broadcasting understood that assignment decades ago.
They provided the trusted, commercial-free environments where children could learn letters, empathy, and critical thinking without worry. They are the silent partners in countless bed-time stories and rainy afternoons.
We honor the CPB for investing in our children's potential. Their support built the foundation for the educational tools our Game Lab uses today. Thank you for building a better future for our kids.
To every educator & teacher who has relied on PBS resources, lesson plans, and media to bridge a learning gap for over 50 years: We see you. And the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been supporting you every step of the way.
CPB's funding ensures that high-quality, scientifically vetted educational content is available to every student, regardless of their home or school budget. They were the infrastructure of equitable learning.
We salute the CPB not just for funding media, but for funding the future of education. They built the tools; you provide the inspiration. Let's carry that torch forward.
In Honored Loving Memory of... The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) 1964-2025/2026
