Yippee TV was founded by Brandon Piety in Los Angeles and is accessible worldwide on Roku, AppleTV, Fire TV, Samsung TV, iOS, and Android apps. [3] Regarding the vision behind the streaming service, Piety explained that Yippee "was built by parents for parents. There are no ads, algorithms, or attitudes, and the shows on our platform are safe and actually fun." [5] When the service launched in December 2019, Yippee TV had over 1000 hours of streaming content. [5]
Yippee TV is the exclusive streaming service of The VeggieTales Show and released new episodes monthly in 2020 and 2021 into 2022.
