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's In the News feature, the segments were hosted by children.[1] They were broadcast in the United States on TBS from 1983 until the mid-1990s, between weekday afternoon children's animated cartoon programs.
