My Week with 2008: Sprout and Bright House

 



Back in 2008, Sprout launched in Tampa, Florida on Bright House Networks (now Spectrum) as Channel 121, and two commercials, the videos you see above, were made to promote.

These promos used the cliché purple television branding from the "We Share" campaign as well as the music from that promo, and featured both clips from The Good Night Show, The Let's Go Show, The Sunny Side Up Show, The Sprout Sharing Show, Barney & Friends, Sesame Street, Caillou, Bob the Builder, Make Way for Noddy, Sprout Diner, and Fifi and the Flowertots, and footage of real kids and their parents goofing out and having fun (the clip of the kids and their mom having breakfast was used in both a Great Sprout Tuck-In PSA and the "Cereal" bumper).

According to Sprout's Jenni Glenn, Sprout previously launched on Time Warner Cable in California and Texas under an affiliation agreement with Time Warner Cable that also extends to Bright House Networks.
