Under the agreement, hundreds of episodes of shows such as In the Night Garden<\/em> will become accessible on\u00a0a new dedicated Hopster-branded children\u2019s area within STV Player. The lineup will also include series such as Little Malabar<\/em>, StoryBots<\/em>, Punky<\/em>, Clever Brenda<\/em> and Two Minute Tales<\/em>.<\/p>\n The Hopster-branded children\u2019s area is available as of today on STV\u2019s website and a range of connected devices.

We started Hopster to help make screen time a win-win for kids and parents through fun educational programming without the ads. Through our new agreement with STV, we hope to reach thousands of families and help them keep their little ones entertained in a safe and ad-free environment.\u201d<\/p>\n Simon Pitts, STV\u2019s chief executive,\u00a0<\/strong>added, \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be partnering with Nick and his award-winning team at Hopster to bring a wide range of fun and educational preschool programs to STV Player. At a stroke this gives STV Player a compelling kids\u2019 offer for the very first time.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have ambitious plans to turn STV Player into a world-class streaming service, delivering a personalized STV for everyone. The Hopster-STV partnership reinforces our reputation as Scotland\u2019s number one streaming service for family viewing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hopster has entered into a partnership that will see its preschool content become available on STV\u2019s online streaming platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":14738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[132,3890,3891],"class_list":["post-14737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hopster","tag-stv","tag-stv-player","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
