Video Interview: Cookie Jar’s Kenneth Locker

NEW YORK: Kenneth Locker, the senior VP of digital media at Cookie Jar Entertainment, talks about plans for the new online destination Jaroo.com in this video interview.

Jaroo.com is an online destination from Cookie Jar Entertainment that features full-length episodes from a range of current and classic kids’ shows, all available to watch free of charge. The site launched in its public beta version last November, offering 50 shows, with a minimum of 500 episodes available on demand any time. The launch lineup included such hits as Inspector Gadget, The Adventures of Paddington Bear, Johnny Test, Super Mario Bros., Zelda and Mona the Vampire.

Jaroo’s programming is culled from Cookie Jar’s 6,000-episode library, however, there are plans to expand the service to include series from other distributors as well as original made-for-the-web content.
