PBS picks up 'Blue Mountain Mystery' for US TV debut

PBS Kids is to screen 2012's Blue Mountain Mystery: The Movie for a US television premiere.

The non-profit American broadcaster will transmit the film later this month on local public television stations.

The announcement was made by the Thomas & Friends Twitter @TrueBlueEngine who tweeted; Check your local PBS Kids listings for a special broadcast of Blue Mountain Mystery airing this month!

PBS previously presented a slightly edited version of Day of the Diesels last year as a world exclusive.

Blue Mountain Mystery: The Movie marks its US network debut on local PBS stations this November.
