Mobile MUM has launched its online subscription-based service with an expansive library of highly popular children’s content, including The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That, Sid the Science Kid, Pocoyo, Mighty Machines, Animal Atlas, Busytown Mysteries, Pajanimals, Noonbury and the Super 7, Chloe’s Closet, Will & Dewitt, Hopla, and Dive Olly Dive.

“Mobile MUM is the first truly interactive kids’ environment for mobile devices that mixes the best in video content with games to help entertain and educate children,” said Tim Capper, president of Mobile MUM. “Mobile MUM takes the heat off of Mom and Dad, and provides children with some of the same high quality programming they can watch on their TV or DVD via mobile devices,” adds Capper. “Brightcove makes it possible for Mobile MUM subscribers to easily access high quality video on the Web and across popular Apple and Android mobile devices, enabling us to enjoy the broadest possible audience reach for our content.”

Mobile MUM services are accessed by downloading a free application for the iPad, iPhone or Android, and signing up for unlimited usage of the programming via a monthly subscription service. With Brightcove, Mobile MUM has access to the most comprehensive and advanced features for publishing and distributing its video content, including a range of out-of-the-box mobile video solutions that make it easy to expand video initiatives to popular mobile devices and platforms like the iPad, iPhone® and Android devices. The Brightcove platform’s Smart Players automatically detect the devices viewing Mobile MUM content and deliver the appropriate HTML5 or Adobe® Flash® format to ensure the best user experience possible.
