KINGSTON, Jamaica — Digicel Play today announced that it has signed a deal with A Parent Media Co Inc (APMC), owner of children’s over-the-top (OTT) entertainment service, Kidoodle.TV®, to bring a new entertainment and educational experience to its growing customer base.

Digicel Play, which includes fibre, fixed lines and Internet services, has secured the child-friendly subscription video-on-demand service for its markets in the Caribbean, and will begin viewing of the entertainment package over the next few months.

According to Digicel, Kidoodle.TV features robust parental controls, a brightly coloured, easy-to-use interface, a customisable library of content, and Family Moments™ — which is the world’s first kids’ subscription video-on-demand platform to allow consumers to upload and watch family videos and home movies alongside popular children’s programmes.

“This innovative integration of such an advanced app into our ecosystem is an exciting next step in enabling our customers to access opportunities for positive growth and quality entertainment through our connected services,” Digicel Play CEO for the Caribbean and Central America, John Suranyi stated.

“We are also excited to provide parents with the tools to protect their kids’ media experience while incentivising them to engage in education-based consumption and healthy viewing boundaries. Kidoodle.TV provides an exceptional offering,” Suranyi said.
