Bark TV Launches a Nationwide Multiplatform Network
In an exciting development for dog enthusiasts, Bark TV has officially launched a national multiplatform distribution network, marking a significant milestone for the pet-loving community. Founded by Triple B Media, this innovative television channel dedicates 24 hours a day to programming that celebrates our furry friends. With its launch, Bark TV finds its home in over 80 broadcast markets, ensuring that dog lovers can enjoy the content they cherish anytime, anywhere.
After a successful soft launch, Bark TV expanded its offerings, delivering a rich library of programming that includes both original content and licensed series. Not only is it available as an over-the-air (OTA) diginet channel, but Bark TV is also featured on popular free ad-supported streaming platforms (FAST), making it more accessible than ever.
The channel curates a delightful mix of feel-good, brand-safe content, primarily aimed at engaging viewers in a lighthearted manner. Bark TV features entertaining shows and educational content, allowing dog lovers to enjoy the company of their pets while discovering new ways to take care of them. Some of the prominent figures featured include Dr. Lindsay Butzer and Grooming By Rudy, alongside social media stars like Felix the Wanderlust Samoyed and Crusoe the Dachshund - a delightful assortment of programs that keep the audience entertained.
Viewers who have their own furry companions can also have a chance to share the spotlight. By visiting
barktvdogs.com, dog owners can submit photos of their pets, potentially getting them featured on the channel. This inclusive approach allows Bark TV to connect with its audience in a personal way, fostering a stronger community among dog lovers.
Brendan Canning, co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Triple B Media, remarked,
"Americans not only love their dogs — nearly 60 million U.S. households have one — but they also love dog content. Through partnerships with broadcasters across the country, Bark TV offers positive, all-dogs, all-the-time programming that resonates with such a large audience."
The recent increase in OTA multicast channels and FAST platforms, combined with the lack of dedicated dog-friendly content in the existing television market, positioned Bark TV as a much-needed addition for canine aficionados. Research indicates that approximately 155 million dog lovers in the U.S. spend upwards of $100 billion annually on their four-legged friends, illuminating the potential market for such programming. Happily for these dedicated pet parents, Bark TV is completely free and—one can say—housebroken!
For viewers with the right equipment, OTA channels broadcast to any home with a television and a digital antenna, enabling Bark TV to reach nearly 75% of U.S. households. This significant reach includes eight out of the top 10 Designated Market Areas (DMAs) across the nation. As a consequence of the expanded distribution, Bark TV has attracted several million viewers each month through various platforms including Dish, Sling TV, Local Now, DistroTV, and its proprietary platform, Streamstak. If you're a Roku user, you can also find Bark TV as an app right from your home screen.
Aside from joyous content from dog influencers and beloved human celebrities, viewers can also get practical advice on dog care. From tips on training to enrichment ideas that keep pets mentally stimulated, Bark TV serves as an all-in-one destination for dog enthusiasts who want to enhance their pet parenting experience.
How to Watch Bark TV: Interested viewers can start enjoying Bark TV right away by tuning into the over-the-air station in their local area or by exploring the comprehensive online options available. The channel is designed to be accessible to everyone, creating an inclusive space for dog lovers to unite.
Bark TV not only champions positive programming but celebrates the unique bond between humans and their canine companions, making it a must-watch network for anyone deeply invested in the joy that comes with owning a dog.
