Hispanic Information and Telecommunication Network, Inc. (HITN) celebrates the seventh anniversary of Edye this April, positioning the platform as the only premium content service designed specifically for preschoolers in Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic market. In a media environment characterized by fragmented content and instant gratification, Edye has established itself as a singular reference for families seeking meaningful, safe, and joy-filled stories that support early childhood development.
"After seven years, we continue to believe that good stories, memorable characters, and shared imagination are the best way to accompany children's development," said Erika Vogt-Lowell, Vice President of Content at HITN. The platform distinguishes itself through content developed with child development experts, prioritizing whole stories over isolated clips and editorial criteria over algorithmic curation. This approach ensures programming aligns with children's emotional and social development while creating protected environments where families can connect.
For its anniversary, Edye expands its offerings with new series including Las canciones de Plim Plim, which features memorable songs conveying values and positive habits; Vera and the Rainbow Kingdom, an animated series encouraging creative problem-solving; and Unicorn Academy, blending magic, friendship, and everyday learning. These additions complement beloved classics like Paw Patrol Pup Tales, Care Bears, The Smurfs, and Pocoyo that form the cornerstone of Edye's library. The platform also features original content including Respira and Cómo se dice, starring Edye himself, which help children explore emotions, language, and connection through interactive experiences.
"Children today navigate an endless sea of content, but what they're looking for has never changed: characters to love, stories that make them laugh, and worlds where their imagination can run free," Vogt-Lowell explained. The platform's mission extends beyond co-viewing to create shared experiences that strengthen bonds between parents, caregivers, and children through play and connection. This focus on family engagement has earned Edye trust among parents seeking alternatives to open platforms, offering carefully curated programming that nurtures empathy, curiosity, resilience, and joy.
Edye operates as an ecosystem including a subscription video-on-demand platform, linear Pay TV channel, branded broadcast blocks, and digital games and activities. Available through major digital platforms and devices across the United States and Latin America, the service represents HITN's commitment to improving Hispanic community lives through innovative technology and programming. As it marks this milestone, Edye reaffirms its purpose to continue growing as a trusted space where every story contributes to children's integral development and every shared experience strengthens family connections.
