South Carolina ETV now streaming live on DIRECTV STREAM

South Carolina ETV (SCETV) announced today that it is now live streaming on DIRECTV STREAM. A dedicated live channel for SCETV is available to all local DIRECTV STREAM customers, supplemented with additional on-demand programming that will continue to expand SCETV’s digital footprint and offer viewers additional ways to stream content.

DIRECTV represents SCETV’s second livestreaming partnership. Relationships like this one ensure that on-demand content from PBS favorites including “American Experience,” “Antiques Roadshow,” “Frontline,” “Great Performances,” “Masterpiece,” and “Nature” are available to as many viewers as possible. Local programming like “Making it Grow,” “Palmetto Scene,” and “This Week in South Carolina” is also accessible.

In addition, the PBS KIDS channel has recently joined both the DIRECTV STREAM and DIRECTV lineups, helping to extend the PBS mission of preparing young children for success in school and life through trusted, educational media available anytime and anywhere. Now, even our youngest of viewers can access their favorite series, including “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,” “Molly of Denali,” “Odd Squad,” “Pinkalicious & Peterrific,” and “Wild Kratts,” among many others, via DIRECTV and its on-demand menu or using the same capabilities on DIRECTV STREAM.
