With PBS member stations in the US still reeling after all of their federal funding was cut last year, the revival of Buffalo Toronto Public Media’s Reading Rainbow couldn’t come at a better time.

You can read what we wrote about this winning initiative—as well as runners-up Disney, Gristmill, Jakks Pacific and Paramount—right here.
