Ayo Davis, the president of Disney Branded Television, leads all operations for Disney Branded Television, the unit of Disney Entertainment that produces content for kids, tweens, teens and families for Disney+, Disney Channel and Disney Junior. In this video interview, with TV Kids Weekly’s Anna Carugati, she outlines what’s guiding her teams’ approaches to delivering content across the company’s linear and streaming assets for kids.

“We have this huge slate that helps serve a global audience from preschoolers through adulthood,” Davis said. “All these shows are filled with signature Disney qualities of magic and wonder, adventure and heart, with heroic characters that are relatable and reflective of the world that we live in and are truly guided by kindness and understanding, respect and optimism. Music is so integral to our storytelling. It’s about creating stories and characters that encapsulate the best of Disney, forge deep emotional connections that stay with the hearts of our audiences for their entire lives.”
