Today’s Top Headlines

Blue’s Clues creator Traci Paige Johnson and feature film producer Caroline Baron are the newest kids on the interactive content playground with the launch of Yummico.com. The company will create preschool content across platforms with a focus on digital games, interactive shows, apps and ebooks. Is linear television in the playbook? “We’re platform agnostic,” Baron tells CynKids! “We see the value of being on every platform that children frequent. We just want to provide kids with the kind of engagement that best suits how they experience the content. To that end, we’re talking with all kinds of content distributors, including TV networks and digital services.” Much of the programming is ear-marked for parent-child co-viewing. First up? The Yummlioo Rainbow Power app, out March 20 at the iTunes store. The “try it, you’ll like it” app uses story-based games and music to encourage kids to sample new foods.

Digital Updates

Virtual community Poptropica is launching the new quest Night Watch Island. Members with Early Access can access the new virtual world this month; non-members can jump in when the quest goes public on March 14.
 
Programming Picks

Forget about TGIF. The Hub is launching You Rule Thursdays, a weekly programming block primed for audience participation. Viewers can go on the network’s web site and choose shows that the Hub will air Thursday nights during specially-themed primetimes. A clever way to tout its primetime slate, the new block kicks off Feb. 28 with “Favorite Sitcom Episodes Featuring Oscar-winning Guest Stars.”

The second season of Fun Fun Elmo, a series introducing viewers young and old to the Mandarin language, is debuting on SinoVision, the largest Chinese-language program broadcaster serving New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island, and sections of Pennsylvania. Produced by Sesame Workshop, Fun Fun Elmo uses an immersive language experience of animation and live-action films shot in China.
