Hopster Heads to the Balkans

The preschool learning and entertainment platform Hopster has secured a partnership with the United Group that brings the service to the Balkans.

Hopster will make its video streaming service available on EON platform via SBB in Serbia and via Telemach in Slovenia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Along with offering hundreds of episodes of preschool hits such as Peppa Pig, Teletubbies and Cloudbabies in local languages, Hopster will launch a localized version of its mobile app.

Available for United Group subscribers to download from the App Store and Google Play, the app will offer children a full learning experience and will complement the TV service with its suite of learning games and children’s songs. The Hopster VOD service will be available for free for all UG subscribers during February and the mobile app from February 1 to April 30.

Claire Hunter Gregson, commercial director at Hopster, said: “We are really excited about this partnership with United Group as it sees our full experience made available in the local language in the Balkans. As well as our curated learning shows, we are happy to be able to offer our interactive learning app to EON customers in the region. We hope children will love our beautiful digital playground and that it will instill in them a lifelong love of learning.”

United Group commented: “As a company that strives to meet the needs of their users, it is our great pleasure to have Hopster become a part of our TV packages. Nowadays, with more and more children growing up with Smart devices in their hands, sitting in front of the TV, it is important to offer them a variety of both educational and quality content. Hopster offers an interactive learning program and hand-picked high-quality shows that will bring the whole family together.”
