JellyTelly is an online television network created by Phil Vischer (the co-creator of VeggieTales). The goal of the site is to be a Nickelodeon of sorts for Christian audiences. It is currently a website, which streams a little over 20 minutes a day of content, but Vischer has stated he plans to launch larger projects having to do with the network in the future.[1]

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.[2] 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.[3] Since then, the content on JellyTelly has continued to grow with its new funding, and Vischer completed a new DVD series based on the network titled "Buck Denver Asks … What’s in the Bible?"
