About
Bentkey is a family-friendly subscription video streaming service specializing in children's entertainment. Launched in October 2023 by The Daily Wire, it was created to offer an alternative to mainstream children's media. Originally announced in March 2022 as a children's production unit named Daily Wire Kids (or DW Kids), the initiative was later spun off and rebranded as Bentkey Ventures, LLC, operating as a distinct subsidiary. The service focuses on producing and distributing conservative-leaning animated and live-action programming for children, aiming to provide content aligned with traditional values and serving as an alternative for parents opposed to perceived 'woke ideologies' in mainstream media, notably targeting Disney.
