About Us

Since the beginning of time, storytelling has been the favored method for teaching, learning, and historical documentation. Ray Bradbury, captured the importance and essence of this time honored tradition in his book “Fahrenheit 451,” in which the protagonist Guy Montag must choose between feeding his desire to find knowledge in the written word and continuing his duty as a fireman who burns books in a future American society.

The KART Digital Broadcasting Network (KART-DBN) is devoted to commercial free storytelling 24/7. KART-DBN was created to promote literacy and learning among children. We are in a Technology Revolution where access to the Internet and Apps through computers and mobile devices are redefining children’s literacy and changing methods of learning. Our goal is to use technology to provide an accessible platform where young minds can enjoy commercial free entertainment and educational programming.

Families and classrooms in over 115 countries rely on our programing as an educational source and with the growing appetite for parents and schools to use online resources as teaching tools, we strive to build on our media center and continue to recommend content that will enrich the lives of children all over the world.
