Kid's Beat is a series of one- to two-minute televised news segments that summarized topics such as sports, education and current events for children and preteens. Likened to CBS'sIn the News feature, the segments were hosted by children.[1] They were broadcast in the United States onTBS from 1983 until the mid-1990s, between weekday afternoon children'sanimatedcartoon programs.
In 1997,Kid's Beat was cancelled and replaced byFeed Your Mind, a TBS-produced children's newsmagazine featuring stories reported by kids on a range of topics. Many were former hosts ofKid's Beat, including Johnta Austin and Corri English.[2]
