PBS stations discontinuing afternoon children's programming

In posts Nos. 12 and 13 of this thread, we are told that only eight hours of children's programming would be fed to PBS stations each day starting on Feb. 6, and the stations would have to run seven of them, which would end the children's block around 2 p.m. Yet here we are on Feb. 16 and we are seeing several states finding a way around this supposed limitation. So what's the story here? Where are the state PBS networks finding the extra hours?
 
It's a floor, not a ceiling. Local member stations are free to continue programming more kids' hours if they so desire.

But NHPTV runs children's programming from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. That's 11 hours. If PBS is only feeding eight hours, where are the remaining three coming from?
