Bark TV Launches Barkademy Awards to Celebrate Dogs All Over the World

All winners will be announced, featured and broadcast to millions on Bark TV

NORTH HAVEN, Conn., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bark TV, the first multiplatform network with 24-hour-a-day programming dedicated exclusively to dog lovers, is launching the Barkademy Awards. This program will shine a spotlight on the cutest and most entertaining pups on the planet. Nominations are now open for anyone and everyone to upload photos of their dogs at barktvdogs.com/awards through May 12.

Winners will be selected and announced for the whole world to see in a special program that will air on Bark TV. Categories for the first edition of the Barkademy Awards will include:

• Pawwww! (cutest)
• Bark of the Year (any sound will do)
• Pup Culture (celebrity lookalike)
• Twinning (owner lookalike)
• Who's a Good Dog (best trick)

"Dogs are the best, and the Barkademy Awards is a way to highlight the best of the best," says Brendan Canning, co-founder and chief commercial officer of Triple B Media, which operates Bark TV. "The nomination process is simple. If you have a dog, chances are you have a photo or two (thousand) already on your phone. Now Bark TV viewers have the chance to give their dogs the star treatment."

Bark TV, a mix of original programming and licensed television series, averages several million viewers per month across all platforms, including Dish, Sling TV, Local Now, DistroTV, and Streamstak, Triple B Media's owned and operated platform. Bark TV is also available as an app on Roku, and can be seen in more than 80 broadcast markets across the country as an over-the-air (OTA) diginet channel and on free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platforms.

"We have a ton of great programming on Bark TV, and the Barkademy Awards will help us highlight the community that's growing around our channel," Canning says. "Dog owners love seeing photos and videos of other dogs, and this is an exciting way to add a little competition to the mix. Best part is: no long speeches from the winners! Maybe we'll make an exception for Bark of the Year."

Outside of awards season, viewers still have the opportunity to see their pups featured on Bark TV by visiting barktvdogs.com and filling out a brief form. The photos uploaded will be featured on the channel and broadcast to millions across the country.

In addition to playful, positive content from dog influencers and human celebrities, Bark TV also broadcasts tips on how to care for dogs, teach them new tricks, and it shares unique ideas for enrichment to keep pups occupied and on their best behavior.
