On this day in 1968, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood aired nationally for the first time on NET, the precursor to PBS. Fred’s gentle message of kindness and empathy is still as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Thank you, Mister Rogers, for believing that all children deserve quality educational programming! #MisterRogers50 #ItsABeautifulDay | Fred Rogers Productions
