1+1 media and Paramount Global announce that Nickelodeon is now available for viewers to watch in Ukrainian
This long-awaited initiative will bring favourite children's TV characters to life in Ukrainian for the first time through content localisation. The Nickelodeon channel launched on Thursday 1st June 2023 and is available on a number of platforms with a Ukrainian audio track, including OTT, Viasat satellite packages and cable networks.
The channel showcases a localised version of the world-famous Nickelodeon brand, which has been wowing audiences around the world for over 40 years with its exciting shows created for preschoolers, children aged 6 and over and teenagers. Ukrainian children and their parents now have access to a huge number of top-notch shows and programmes in their native language, which are ideal for family viewing. In addition to global mega-hits such as
SpongeBob SquarePants and
PAW Patrol, viewers in Ukraine can now watch fully localised popular series such as all five seasons of
Henry Danger, as well as the first seasons of
Danger Force,
Big Nate,
The Casagrandes and the highly anticipated
SpongeBob SquarePants spin-offs
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years and
The Patrick Star Show.
"The launch of Nickelodeon with Ukrainian-language content is a landmark event in the history of Nickelodeon in Ukraine, bringing favourite children's characters closer to the Ukrainian-speaking audience. Thanks to our productive cooperation with 1+1 media, we are preparing more than 500 hours of outstanding shows in Ukrainian, and the library of localised content will be replenished every day. We are very excited to communicate with our viewers in their native language," Paramount Global said in a statement.
"Our important task is to ensure that Ukrainian children have access to high-quality thematic content in the Ukrainian language. The projects in the Nickelodeon portfolio offer not only entertainment content, but also combine an important educational function that meets our goals. At the same time, they can be a source of much-needed inspiration. We are grateful to our international partners for their thorough work and high-quality adaptation," 1+1 media commented.
The news follows Paramount Global launching Nickelodeon Ukraine Pluto TV in 2022. The ad-free channel broadcasts children’s content in the Ukrainian language and was launched for Ukrainian children who have been displaced by Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. The channel is on air for 24 hours daily and is available OTT on Pluto TV and through cable and sattelitte packages.
