Bentkey
Bentkey is a subscription video service for children's programming by The Daily Wire, an American conservative media company. The service was launched in October 2023. It was created for conservative parents who did not want their children to grow up with media that taught "woke" ideologies, with Disney in particular being something the service fights against. The service was originally announced in March 2022 by The Daily Wire as a children's production unit called Daily Wire Kids or DW Kids for short. It was later spun off and rebranded into a separate company known as "Bentkey".
