  • Kidoodle.TV Wraps Year of Wishes With Make-a-Wish Metro New York

    The campaign adds to Kidoodle.TV’s growing legacy of family-focused impact, from supporting wishes to feeding families, and more.


    CALGARY, Alberta, August 7, 2025 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Kidoodle.TV, the Safe Streaming™ service owned by A Parent Media Co. Inc. (APMC) and trusted by millions of families around the world, has completed its “A Wish A Week” commitment in partnership with Make-A-Wish® Metro New York. The initiative, which granted one wish per week for 52 weeks, culminated in a heartwarming on-platform celebration showcasing the creativity and courage of the incredible kids behind the wishes.

    To mark the close of the campaign, Kidoodle.TV invited Wish Kids to take the spotlight by curating personalized playlists of their favorite shows on Kidoodle.TV, complete with custom video introductions to share a bit of who they are with fellow viewers. These unique, kid-powered playlists ran for eight weeks, serving as a joyful tribute to bravery, imagination, and individuality.

    Throughout the year, Kidoodle.TV brought attention to a variety of magical wish moments on its social media platforms, from fashion shows and superhero adventures to unforgettable family trips and celebrity meetups, shining a light on the power of a wish and the hope it brings to children and families facing critical illness.

    “This campaign wasn’t just about fulfilling wishes, it was about showing kids that their stories matter. As a family-first company, we believe in putting action behind our values; that means celebrating courage, supporting communities, and using our reach to bring joy into as many homes as possible,” said Neil Gruninger, President and CEO of APMC.

    “Working with Make-A-Wish Metro New York in such a significant way was a reflection of who we are as a company,” said Lindsay Dobson, SVP of Marketing & Social Impact at APMC. “At our core, we believe that media can do more than entertain; it can uplift, connect, and bring meaningful joy to families when they need it most. Supporting these incredible kids and sharing their stories through our platform is one of the most impactful ways we can live out our mission.”

    Maureen Fitzgerald, Chief Development Officer at Make-A-Wish Metro New York, added, “What an honor it’s been to work together with the team at Kidoodle.TV to highlight how special our wish kids are. Kidoodle.TV supported the wish journeys of so many children and truly leaned into showcasing how each child’s heartfelt wish can bring hope, joy, and healing in the face of critical illness. Our shared commitment to kids and families was celebrated throughout the partnership and Make-A-Wish is so deeply grateful.”

    The “A Wish A Week” initiative is part of Kidoodle.TV’s long-standing commitment to giving back to the families it serves. From launching the KidoodlED Million Dollar School Giveaway, to monthly grocery relief through its Feeding Families program, to supporting organizations like Baby2Baby that help children living in poverty, Kidoodle.TV continues to go beyond entertainment, building a culture of care and contribution.

The series brings together award-winning singers, rappers and producers to create original songs and lyrics that focus on positive social and emotional development in a show designed for children from preschool to age eight.

    Snoop Dogg voices the character of Bow Wizzle, a canine character he describes as the big brother and mentor to a group of young pups.

    “When Bow Wizzle takes the lead and starts it off, the pups love to follow his lead. With his rapping, he makes learning fun, he makes it cool, and he makes it easy to learn,” Snoop said.

    Co-creator Claude Brooks praised the creative team for its understanding of what kids want and need in their entertainment.

    “I am proud to say that Snoop and I have put together an amazing team to make videos that empower and encourage children,” Brooks said.

    In addition, Brooks’ new live-action program Hip Hop Harry has also landed on Kidoodle.TV. The educational program made its debut in 2006 and features a curriculum by Dr. Gordon Berry, which includes experiences and activities related to social and emotional skills, cognitive/educational skills, physical/health skills, and artistic/creative skills.

  • Kidoodle.TV® is Proud to #ClearTheList at Rugel Elementary in Mesquite, Texas

    Kidoodle.TV® is Proud to #ClearTheList at Rugel Elementary in Mesquite, Texas

    What began as fulfilling one second-grade teacher’s Amazon Wish List quickly transformed into a school-wide initiative for 350 students

    Press Release

    Aug 24, 2022


    CALGARY, Alberta, August 24, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Kidoodle.TV® (owned by A Parent Media Co. Inc.) is proud to announce that after clearing the list of second-grade teacher Mrs. Danielle Tresslar — fulfilling her entire Amazon Wish List for the upcoming school year — the company also cleared the lists for her entire school, providing Amazon gift cards to all other 18 classrooms at Rugel Elementary School located in Mesquite, Texas.

    The school’s principal, Dr. Amanda Walker, expressed sincere gratitude, acknowledging the impact it would have on students. “Each year, teachers find themselves spending their own money to buy supplies and books for their students. This generous gift will relieve the burden for them. Kidoodle.TV has gone above and beyond to clear the list for our Rugel classroom teachers.”

    A Parent Media Co. Inc. (“APMC“) was motivated to clear the lists of the entire school and, with the assistance of  Dr. Walker, surprised teachers and students at an event at Rugel Elementary on Aug. 11, 2022. Rugel Elementary is a K-5 Title 1 school with 350 students. “They saw the need and they are stepping up to help. The impact they have made will go beyond the tangible, [it] will positively change lives,” said Dr. Walker.

    This year, APMC placed a high priority on participating in the nationwide #ClearTheList campaign. “We’ve been fortunate to have families across the world choose to include Kidoodle.TV as part of their daily lives, and because of that, we are proud to be able to give back to communities in need,” said Neil Gruninger, President and Chief Product Officer of APMC. 

    The #ClearTheList movement aims to bring awareness to the lack of classroom supplies in schools throughout the United States while also recognizing and lending a helping hand to America’s deserving teachers through the fulfillment of their Amazon Wish Lists. 

    “We understand that having the proper tools to succeed in the classroom is an integral part of making children feel safe and fostering personal growth. An initiative like #ClearTheList allows us to extend our passion for keeping kids safe beyond the digital landscape,” added Gruninger.

    Mrs. Tresslar’s note, which caught the attention of Kidoodle.TV, read:

    “I work in a title 1 district where 90% of our students are under the poverty line. Every student receives free breakfast and lunch! Majority (sic) of the time students can not afford classroom supplies so I end up buying things for them to use in class! We are always in need of pencils, expo markers and books to add to our little classroom library!”

    Classroom teachers spend an excessive amount of money out of pocket each year for classroom supplies. In recent years, teachers have taken to Amazon, sharing their classroom wish lists publicly online, allowing parents and donors to contribute and ease the financial burden. As a purpose-driven organization, the Kidoodle.TV team was inspired to participate in support of teachers and students and applauds the #ClearTheList campaign for its commendable efforts.

    Other APMC initiatives include its annual donation of 60 million ad impressions to organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation that benefit the health and well-being of children.

    Kidoodle.TV on Family Co-Viewing: The Key to Safe Media Consumption for Children

    With children’s media consumption increasing ~30% during summertime, co-viewing with Kidoodle.TV® offers families the chance to actively engage and learn alongside each other.

    Press Release

    CALGARY, Alberta, August 11, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    As warm summer months bring children out of the classrooms and in front of the television, children’s media consumption increases ~30%. This makes it more important than ever to know what they are watching. Co-viewing with Kidoodle.TV® offers families the chance to actively engage and learn alongside each other.

    According to MediaSmarts, co-viewing creates media-savvy kids and encourages critical thinking during media consumption. “Co-viewing is so important as it helps parents see and hear what their children are engaging in and provides an opportunity for families to talk about the stories and situations that appear in their favorite shows,” said Neil Gruninger, President and Chief Product Officer at A Parent Media Co. Inc. (APMC).

    Kidoodle.TV® (owned by A Parent Media Co. Inc.) encourages safe co-viewing habits for families. The practice helps improve communication, keeps children engaged and encourages critical thinking. Parents can feel confident knowing the content their kids are watching on Kidoodle.TV is age-appropriate, educational, and most importantly, that its top content is always vetted by real human beings.

    Co-viewing is more than simply turning on a movie together — it’s the chance for parents to ask questions, quiz on educational concepts and encourage deeper engagement with the content.  

    Co-viewing can support early literacy skills, boost empathy, and help children learn how to regulate emotions. Similar to reading to children, co-viewing gives kids and parents the chance to learn together. In a study where parents applied active reading techniques to watching television, children scored higher on reading comprehension and vocabulary tests than kids who didn’t experience co-viewing. 

    “As parents and caregivers ourselves, we know kids get bored quickly in the summer, and we have built Kidoodle.TV as a go-to solution for when it’s too hot outside or families need a break. When we watch TV or movies with them, we can ask questions to help them think about what they see and learn,” added Gruninger.

    Watch family favorites like “Paw Patrol: Pup Tales,” “SpongeBob SquarePants,” and “The Dodo” this summer on Kidoodle.TV.

In light of Women’s History Month, a time spent commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in history, Brenda Bisner reflects on how her challenging childhood fueled her passion as a mother and business leader today.

    “When my career started, it was uncommon to see ‘women supporting women.’ It just was not something that women saw, and it was very much understood that there were ‘places’ where females belonged,” said Bisner. “My take away from that was that I could change the narrative with my own actions and empower everyone around me for the better; now, as a mother of a young woman, I’m proud that I can help push forward a new generation of female empowerment, starting in my own home and celebrating that women are powerful and can accomplish anything.”

    Brenda Bisner is a Children’s Media Executive who creates IMPACT partnerships for organizations that positively benefit Children globally. She creates opportunities that are disruptive and beneficial for the intended and focused need of creating a better experience, and world, for the children to stream in, safely.

    After spending decades in media and entertainment, with a career spanning 22 years in the business, working with countless household name brands, she is a deeply beloved digital media maven and expert, who is well-respected by colleagues for her enthusiastic future casting, her kindness and bravery, plus her fierce passion and deep knowledge of the fast-changing children’s digital landscape. Brenda Bisner is also a member of the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences™ and a member of CHIEF. She is also a judge for the Kidscreen Awards, the Juno Awards, the Rockie Awards and the Webbys and many other organizations as her voice and opinion are incredibly relevant. 

    “It’s amazing what Brenda has achieved over the last few years with Kidoodle.TV. She elevated our content library, image and has shown relentless dedication to serving all of the children in the world the opportunity to enjoy content safely, which is at the heart of our entire mission – to keep kids Safe Streaming™,” remarked Neil Gruninger, President at Kidoodle.TV. 

    Inspired by fearless women like Gloria Steinem, Betty White, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the work Brenda Bisner does in securing successful acquisitions of children’s media programs brings curated, age-appropriate content to children around the world. Kidoodle.TV® is a go-to service for millions of families globally, and Bisner has been critical in this aggressive growth of the family-friendly content offering. Brenda is a powerful and inspirational example of the unique, modern-day balance of loving a career, being a mother, and paving the path for more women to do the same.

    When asked for advice she would give to the next generation of women, Bisner said, “It all starts with the love you have for yourself; being kind starts with you and is a non-negotiable for everyone you meet. Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ and don’t forget to drink your water!”

    “Pinna is thrilled to be working with the safe streaming platform Kidoodle.TV to bring the first collection of kid-friendly podcasts, no-screens-required, to their audience. With a shared mission of bringing high-quality, entertaining content to kids in a safe environment, we’re excited to be collaborating with Kidoodle.TV to bring our award-winning Pinna Original podcasts to their platform – delivering an entertainment option that helps balance screen time with non-screen time activities for kids,” said Maggie McGuire, CEO of Pinna. “From improv-comedy, trivia-based audio games, and fantastical fairy tales to podcasts that tap into kids’ biggest passion points (aka – a Minecraft podcast!), there’s now an option to turn up the volume on screen-free fun on Kidoodle.TV whether kids are at home or on the go.”

  • Kidoodle.TV® Levels Up Quantities of Kid-Friendly Gaming Content

    Kidoodle.TV® Levels Up Quantities of Kid-Friendly Gaming Content

    The Safe Streaming™ service amasses huge gaming library of classic content and popular hits played by content creators

    Press Release

    updated: Sep 20, 2021


    CALGARY, Alberta, September 20, 2021 (Newswire.com)
    –
    A Parent Media Co. Inc. (APMC) is excited to share that its flagship product, Kidoodle.TV®, has bolstered its library of gaming content in a major way during the global pandemic to keep up with viewer demand. 

    “It’s no secret the global gaming market is growing with more and more child-focused creators breaking. Noting this, we’ve aggressively added an extensive library of gaming content featuring some of the most popular games and gamers,” said Chief Content Officer Brenda Bisner. 

    Since 2020, the Kidoodle.TV service has increased its gaming library by close to 500%, adding additional episodes and new series focused on family-appropriate gaming. Working closely with kid-friendly gaming creators, Kidoodle.TV, brings the best series to audiences, allowing them to co-view together without fear of inappropriate language or violence being shown. 

    Families can now enjoy household-name classics such as Super Mario 64, Super Mario 3D World Bowser’s Fury, Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong Country, Pokémon Sword & Shield, and Luigi’s Mansion being played by top-level creators on the Safe & Free™ streaming service.  

    “What makes us stand out is our quality assurance team who review hours upon hours of gaming content to ensure it’s safe for viewing by young, impressionable eyes,” said Bisner.  

    Kidoodle.TV also supports original content creators like AbdallahSmash who offers family-friendly walkthroughs and tutorials of overnight sensations, Animal Crossing and Pokémon Snap. Featured in Variety, AbdallahSmash notes that gaming can offer children an experience to build resilience. “Nobody is an expert at the beginning of trying something new — and that’s okay. When I play through video games, it’s inevitable that mistakes or sub-optimal plays are made and it’s how you learn from them that really matters. If you’re in a tough spot, I like to elaborate on how I can positively get myself out of it and overcome difficult challenges. Never giving up and pushing towards a positive resolution is the key to success that I strive to teach young viewers.” In addition to Abdallah Smash, other up-and-comer creators can be found on the service like Miss Charli, NEZLEY and LankyBox who offer widely popular Roblox content. 

    Access to 30,000+ programs and a continuously growing gaming library is completely free to watch on Connected TVs by searching for Kidoodle.TV or by downloading the app on a mobile device or tablet.

  • Kidoodle.TV Stresses the Importance of Knowing What Children Are Watching

    Kidoodle.TV Stresses the Importance of Knowing What Children Are Watching

    Kidoodle.TV’s latest whitepaper explains how parents are responding to the demand for increased screen time in their children’s lives and what they anticipate for the future, post-pandemic.

    Press Release
    –


    updated: Jun 23, 2021


    CALGARY, Alberta, June 23, 2021 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Kidoodle.TV, a family-friendly streaming platform for kids 12 and under, recently released a comprehensive research study to better understand how parents view and approach screen time in a pandemic world and what they anticipate for the future as the world reopens. As media consumption amongst children has increased, the plethora of platforms available have allowed kids to access content that may be unsafe or unsuitable.

    According to a study by Wakefield Research:

    • 2 in 5 parents (44%) say they’ve seen previews or ads meant for older children or teens while streaming videos for their kids.
       
    • 42% say they’ve seen ads for a product meant solely for adults like a political ad.
       
    • 38% say they’ve seen content auto-played that they did not approve of.

    “The significance of doing this kind of real-life research to hear from parents directly on what they are facing when raising their children in today’s digital world, and the increased use of screen time on a daily basis, is critical to helping families make good decisions on what platforms are allowed. As a parent, I am faced with multiple demands everyday and knowing the dangers that lurk online is half the problem. The solution is making a smart decision for the sake of our children and being able to remove one less worry. The trends identified here today will serve to inform and guide and hopefully eliminate risks associated with inappropriate content being accessible to children,” commented Brenda Bisner, Chief Content Officer at Kidoodle.TV. 

    In addition to increased recreational viewing, parents and teachers rely on online streaming services as an educational tool. While streaming services can be powerful and effective when it comes to education, it’s a double-edged sword due to the risk of exposing children to content not meant for them.

    According to the 2021 It Takes a (Digital) Village Report, only 43% of parents utilize parental controls all the time, leaving a large opportunity for nefarious or inappropriate content to slip through the cracks. While a good start, the parental control system has many flaws. Even the most popular streaming services have inadvertently had lapses in their algorithms, where the platform recommends shows or ads meant for an older cohort of children.

    Incidents can also occur as a result of hackers or online trolls. In 2019, trolls targeted kids shows on a popular streaming platform that displayed content regarding self-harm and other bizarre themes. Clearly a violation of the platform, the videos were promptly taken down, but not before thousands of children had viewed them. Knowing what children are watching, being an active part of their streaming time, and streaming on platforms that use human moderation to review content instead of solely relying on algorithms, are some of the most effective ways of protecting children from unintentionally viewing inappropriate content.

    In regards to what parents think a post-pandemic future holds, the study revealed that while some parents want to lessen their child(ren)’s screen time (35%), others realize that increased screen time is simply a new reality (65%) and are allowing for more or the same amount of viewing time.
