VIACOMCBS SIGNS NEW DEALS WITH MEO AND VODAFONE IN PORTUGAL

Nickelodeon will now be available to more than 4M households in the region


Milan, 14th April 2020 – ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI) today announced new distribution agreements with operators MEO and Vodafone in Portugal to bring Nickelodeon and other iconic ViacomCBS brands, as well as premium SVOD services, to more viewers across their platforms.

As a result of the extended agreements with MEO and Vodafone, customers will be able to watch their favorite Nickelodeon content for the first time, including much-loved animations, such as SpongeBob SquarePants, live-action series, like Henry Danger, and iconic Nickelodeon events like the Kids’ Choice Awards.

The newly added Nickelodeon linear channel, which will now be available on all platforms around Portugal, joins the MEO and Vodafone portfolios alongside ViacomCBS channels MTV and VH1, which were already available to customers as part of previous deals.

In addition to the extended linear distribution, these agreements include the launch of new SVOD premium services, which will be available in the upcoming months, to satisfy viewers’ non-linear consumption preferences.

“Our agreements with MEO and Vodafone demonstrate ViacomCBS’ strength as a content partner in Portugal. With these new offerings, we are proud to distribute Nickelodeon through all operators in the market and continue these important long-term partnerships,” commented Raffaele Annecchino, President ViacomCBS Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia. “Now more than ever, kids and families are seeking variety and entertainment, and it’s a privilege to support them by delivering the fun and positivity of Nickelodeon in this challenging moment.”

The news follows VCNI and Sky announcing a multi-year deal in German-speaking markets in March 2020. As a result of this new agreement, Nick Jr. and NickToons content are now available to Sky customers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (GAS), giving them access to much-loved kids’ shows such as PAW Patrol and SpongeBob SquarePants. The agreement further broadens and strengthens the long-standing relationship between ViacomCBS and Sky across Europe, with Sky already distributing ViacomCBS’ TV networks and content and selling advertising across its portfolio of channels in the UK and Italy.

Canal Nickelodeon chega à Vodafone

“SpongeBob”, “Thundermans” ou “Henry Danger” já podem ser vistos em mais uma operadora em Portugal.

Ocanal Nickelodeon, especializado em programas e séries para miúdos e adolescentes, chegou a Portugal em 2005. Mas só agora ficou disponível na Vodafone, na posição 60 da grelha, depois de, no início deste mês de abril, ter chegado ao MEO.

Este canal de televisão transmite clássicos como “SpongeBob” ou “As Tartarugas Ninja”, mas também sucessos recentes como “Thundermans”, “Henry Danger” ou “Loud em Casa”. Não vão faltar opções para toda a família.

Pode ser um canal especialmente útil e valioso nesta altura de isolamento social, em que os miúdos estão em casa, pelo facto de as escolas estarem encerradas, e estarem a precisar de serem entretidos.
