Mikael commented, “We’re tremendously excited to have WarnerMedia as our exclusive partner to introduce Bing to American preschool children. We know how valuable our stories are for young children, and so we’ve created an entirely new version to help make Bing as relatable as possible for our audience in America.” 

Bing is currently broadcast in over 130 territories and is firmly on-track to become a global evergreen property, cherished by families and young children worldwide.
