History

After Phil Vischer's original company, Big Idea Productions, went bankrupt, Vischer took a few years off to recuperate. It was during this time that he had the idea for JellyTelly. A new network of sorts, but featuring content for kids that enriched them, and also taught them about their faith and religion. After working for over three years on the project, on March 1, 2008, Vischer revealed his new project to the world. It wasn't until November 4 of that same year that it actually launched though. Through the ups and downs of this new project, funding was always a concern, until the Christian organization Focus on the Family stepped in on September 30, 2009 to provide backing, funding and marketing for Vischer's new network. Since then, the content on JellyTelly has continued to grow with its new funding, and Vischer had begun to work on a new DVD series based on the network titled "What's In The Bible with Buck Denver?.
