The Challenge: Beyond the Card, Safely at Scale

Yoto’s innovative Yoto Player and Yoto Mini devices provide a world of screen-free audio for over a million children, primarily through physical cards. But to keep content fresh and engaging, Yoto needed to deliver dynamic audio streams reliably and safely.

With parents increasingly seeking quality screen-free alternatives (Ofcom UK found 39% struggle to control screen time), the pressure was on to expand their audio offering without compromising their core values of safety and educational fun.

The Approach: Streaming a World of Wonder

Yoto chose to enhance their ecosystem with curated audio streams, launching "Yoto Radio" for lively, age-appropriate tunes and "Yoto Sleep Radio" for calming bedtime routines. Radio.co provided the simple yet powerful platform to make this a reality. Radio.co enabled Yoto to:

  • Launch and manage diverse, ad-free audio streams.
  • Scale reliably to their global audience.
  • Easily schedule and update family-friendly content.
  • Access listener analytics to refine programming.

Yoto’s team, without needing specialist broadcast knowledge, could now manage these dynamic channels effortlessly, complementing their beloved physical card library.

The Impact: Fresh Content, Engaged Kids, Happy Parents

The introduction of radio streams significantly boosted the Yoto experience.

  • Easy access to fresh children's content, including seasonal and themed audio, with a single button press.
  • Yoto Sleep Radio, with parent-controlled timers, improved bedtimes and encouraged healthy routines.
  • Parents appreciated the continuous flow of safe, ad-free, curated audio, reinforcing trust in Yoto.
  • Straightforward to keep the audio offering vibrant from a central management solution.

The result was a richer, more engaging platform that families could rely on daily for entertainment and learning, all within Yoto's secure, screen-free environment.

The Takeaway: Curated Audio Connects with Kids

For brands serving discerning audiences like families, dedicated audio streaming offers a powerful way to deliver unique, safe, and engaging content.
