I remember watching PBS Kids on this little channel that was a Long Island favorite it's called "WLIW Kids" and it was the hot kids' channel of the late 2000's. They would come to all Preschool/Elementary schools across Long Island. But as of 2017 no videos of WLIW Kids is surfaced.
1990s Bumpers
A kid is upclose on the camera in a house-like background with balloons in the back. Then he/she says, "You're watching WLIW Channel 21!" Then, the logo of WLIW is shown while funky colorful patterns fly across the screen. Here is an example of one ID: [1] Other variants of this include when the kid announces what show is coming up next and a blooper montage of various kids messing up their lines for the station ID.
Mid-2000s "We Like It" Bumpers
Shortly after the 1990s bumpers and the Sheira and Loli era bumpers, WLIW launched an ID campaign called, "We Like It" where kids were in a small playroom with stuffed plush toys of PBS Kids shows said, "You're watching WLIW Channel 21. We like it!" Other variants include: "(insert show) is next here on WLIW Channel 21. We like it!" There has been no online evidence of these bumpers thus far.
