"The beautiful fantasy world of Shimmer and Shine offers endless possibilities for magical adventures and pre-schoolers will love the genies' playful humour and enthusiasm," said Russell Hicks, Nickelodeon's President of Content Development and Production. "First-time creator Farnaz Esnaashari-Charmatz is a home-grown success story who started as an intern at Nick 10 years ago. She epitomizes the diverse talent and empowering spirit that comes from the Nickelodeon Animation Studio."

In the first episode "The Sweetest Thing," Leah wishes for the genies' help in making cupcakes for her school bake sale. Through silly misunderstandings, Leah, Shimmer and Shine find themselves stuck with a giant birthday cake, some farm animals and no wishes left. They must work together to fix their magical mistakes without drawing the attention of Leah's curious (and hungry) neighbour, Zac.

In Shimmer and Shine, the eponymous twin sisters are Leah's secret genies. Leah always has a dilemma that she needs her magical friends' assistance with, and the genies-in-training are happy to grant her a maximum of three wishes a day to help her out. Sometimes they misinterpret what Leah wishes for and accidentally grant her wishes she didn't even mean to make. Each wrong wish quickly compounds into a crazy adventure. Ultimately, through teamwork, the genies and Leah find a way to fix the problem.

Viacom Confirms Nickelodeon USA To Premiere "School Of Rock" In Early 2016

Philippe Dauman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Viacom, today, Thursday 12th November 2015, announced and confirmed the exciting news during Viacom's Q4 2015 earnings call that Nickelodeon USA will start to premiere and show Nickelodeon Productions and Paramount Television's brand-new live-action, musical-comedy series "School of Rock" from early 2016!


Inspired by the hit movie of the same name, "School of Rock" follows a unique group of prep school students who are in for the change of a lifetime when a down-on-his-luck musician poses as their substitute teacher. At first, the overachieving and rule-following kids are rather unimpressed, but their new teacher, Dewey, uses rock n' roll to ignite their inner expression.


"School of Rock" stars:

Tony Cavalero (Nickelodeon's "Splitting Adam") as "Dewey," a down-on-his-luck musician posing as a substitute teacher, who ultimately becomes the most unique and well-liked teacher the kids have ever had. Although he has an alternative approach to teaching and could probably learn more from his students about history or math, Dewey uses the language of rock n' roll to elevate and inspire his class of kids to reach new heights as the band called "School of Rock."

Ricardo Hurtado as "Freddy," the new kid who brings a fresh rebellious perspective to William B. Travis Prep School. He is an effortlessly "cool" kid who recognizes the opportunity in building the band with Dewey, and challenges the class to take risks in the name of having fun. Freddy is a good role model for Lawrence and Zack, has the same interests as Tomika, and supports Summer when it counts.

Lance Lim ("Growing Up Fisher") as "Zack," a reserved child of overbearing parents, who comes out of his shell as the band's electric guitarist. He walks the line between fearing the consequences of breaking the rules and embracing the independence that Dewey encourages. Zack is a good friend to all, and with the confidence he gains from the band he makes the choice to become his own man instead of a "Yale man."

Aidan Miner (Nickelodeon Creative Lab's "Homeroom") as "Lawrence" the quirky, technologically-inclined, unabashedly confident keyboardist for the band. He may miss social cues and create messes for the band, but his heart is always in the right place as a team player who completely embraces rock n' roll.

Jade Pettyjohn (Nickelodeon's "Henry Danger") as "Summer," the overachiever with perfect attendance and a blind ambition for academics. Not satisfied with playing tambourine in the band, she ultimately becomes the manager when she realizes she can use her organizational skills to the band's benefit. Summer learns to take risks and be a team player, especially when it means getting noticed by her crush, Freddy.

Breanna Yde (Nickelodeon's "The Haunted Hathaways") as "Tomika," is the fun-loving bass player who is a bit of a tomboy. Although more comfortable with a skateboard than a microphone, Tomika's peers soon learn that she is a double threat – a gifted bass guitarist who also has some powerful pipes. Tomika is grounded and knows who she is, which is why she is such a great best friend to Summer – together these girls can accomplish anything.

Additionally, Philippe Dauman also announced the Sponge-Tastic news that Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Animation's third brand-new "SpongeBob SquarePants" movie, tentatively titled "SpongeBob SquarePants 3", is currently in production! The film, from the team that brought us the hit film "SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge Out of Water", will again be directed by Paul Tibbitt and will feature the voices of Tom Kenny, Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass, Bill Fagerbakke, Carolyn Lawrence, and Mr. Lawrence. "SpongeBob SquarePants 3" is due to be released in US theaters on Friday 8th February 2019.

Viacom Reports Q4 2015 And Full Year Financial Results; Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend

Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAB, VIA), the parent company of the Nickelodeon brand, has today, Thursday 12th November 2015, reported financial results, including record adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended Wednesday 30th September 2015.

Sumner M. Redstone, Executive Chairman of Viacom, said, "Viacom continues to create some of the most compelling and entertaining content in the world. I am confident that Viacom's leadership team will continue to lead through our industry's period of transition and succeed well into the future."


Philippe Dauman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Viacom, said, "Viacom's fourth quarter and year-end results are indicative of our progress in key areas, including recent ratings improvement and renewals of important distribution agreements. Our strategy of increasing and accelerating investment in original content and expanding our profitable international footprint are among the major factors driving this success, which we believe will continue in 2016 and beyond. We are making great progress in tackling industry-wide inefficiencies in audience measurement, while expanding our audience reach with landmark distribution agreements.


Viacom's Media Networks delivered record revenues in fiscal 2015, driven by hits like Henry Danger on Nickelodeon. (Photo: Business Wire)

"Viacom's family of Media Networks are the most watched by highly coveted younger audiences, and we are building engagement on all platforms, leading to first-of-their-kind marketing opportunities with our advertising partners. Our investment in content continues to grow, supporting an unprecedented amount of quality original programming and a more robust slate of films. In addition, in fiscal 2015 we launched 21 channels overseas - including six in India - fueling the fastest international growth in our history."

Quarterly revenues declined 5% to $3.79 billion. Excluding an unfavorable 3% impact of foreign exchange, revenues decreased 2%. Media Networks revenues grew 5% to $2.79 billion, principally due to growth in affiliate fees and international advertising revenues, partially offset by declines in domestic advertising revenues. Domestic and worldwide affiliate revenues increased 15% and 10%, respectively, driven by higher revenues related to the timing of programming made available under certain distribution agreements, as well as rate increases. Domestic advertising revenues declined 7%, reflecting a decline in traditional television ratings. Worldwide advertising revenues decreased 1%, reflecting the domestic decline partially offset by a 45% increase in international advertising revenues, driven by growth in Europe, primarily by Channel 5.

Filmed Entertainment revenues declined 24% to $1.03 billion, driven by the mix of this quarter's releases compared to the prior year quarter, which included the strong performance of Transformers: Age of Extinction. Overall, theatrical revenues declined 20% to $447 million. Home entertainment revenues declined 54%.

Full-year revenues were $13.27 billion, a decline of 4% from the prior fiscal year. Excluding an unfavorable 2% impact of foreign exchange, revenues decreased 2%. Media Networks revenues rose 3% to $10.49 billion, reflecting a 5% increase in affiliate fees and a 1% gain in worldwide advertising revenues. Filmed Entertainment revenues decreased 23%, principally due to lower revenues across the distribution windows reflecting the mix of films. Excluding an unfavorable 2% and 4% impact of foreign exchange, Media Networks revenues increased 5% and Filmed Entertainment revenues declined 19%, respectively.

Quarterly adjusted operating income was $1.06 billion, a decline of 13% compared to the prior year. Media Networks adjusted operating income decreased 6% as the increase in revenues was more than offset by higher programming and marketing expenses. Filmed Entertainment adjusted operating income declined 43%, driven by the strong contribution of Transformers: Age of Extinction in the prior year's quarter.

Full-year adjusted operating income declined 5%, to $3.92 billion. Media Networks adjusted operating income decreased 3% to $4.14 billion, as higher revenues were more than offset by an increase in programming and marketing expenses. Filmed Entertainment adjusted operating income decreased $94 million, reflecting lower revenues.

Quarterly adjusted net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Viacom declined 16% to $614 million, driven by the decline in adjusted operating income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter declined 10% to $1.54, which includes a $0.05 negative impact of foreign exchange.

Full-year adjusted net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Viacom were $2.21 billion, a decrease of 7% principally driven by lower adjusted operating income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 1% to $5.44, which includes a $0.14 negative impact of foreign exchange.

Stock Repurchase Program

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, Viacom repurchased 21.1 million shares under its stock repurchase program. As of November 11, 2015, Viacom had $4.9 billion remaining in its $20 billion stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2015, Viacom had 398 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Debt

At September 30, 2015, total debt outstanding, including capital lease obligations, was $12.29 billion, compared with $12.70 billion at September 30, 2014. In September 2015, the company repaid the $250 million of 4.25% Senior Notes due September 2015, as well as $550 million of 6.25% Senior Notes due April 2016 from cash on hand. The Company's cash balances were $506 million at September 30, 2015, a decrease from $1 billion at September 30, 2014.

Dochter Gert Verhulst te zien in Nickelodeon-serie GHOST ROCKERS

Vanaf 7 december nieuw bij Nickelodeon

Een van de hoofdrollen in de Nickelodeon-serie Ghost Rockers is weggelegd voor de 20-jarige Marie Verhulst, die de rol van Charlie op zich neemt. Zij is de dochter van Gert Verhulst, bekend van K3 Zoekt K3 en tevens de bedenker van de serie.

De andere vier hoofdrollen worden vertolkt door de jonge talenten Juan Gerlo (Jonas), Tinne Oltmans (Mila), Wout Verstappen (Alex) en de Nederlander Elindo Avastia (Jimmy). Deze laatste drie volgden de opleiding Muziektheater aan de Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg. Een van de volwassen rollen is weggelegd voor Kristel Verbeke, bekend van K3, die in de huid kruipt van de getalenteerde en strenge danslerares Elvira De Neve.

Ghost Rockers gaat over vijf talentvolle leerlingen van de DAM Academie die samen een rockgroep vormen. Hun talenten lijken te worden versterkt wanneer ze samen oefenen in een verboden, verborgen repetitielokaal. Al snel ontdekken ze waar deze onzichtbare krachten vandaan komen.

Het eerste seizoen van Ghost Rockers was al een groot succes in België en vanaf maandag 7 december zal de serie ook in Nederland te zien zijn, voor het eerst bij Nickelodeon. De week ervoor, op woensdag 2 december, zullen de rockers tevens hun opwachting maken in een nieuwe aflevering van de Nickelodeon-serie Spotlight.

Ghost Rockers is een reeks van Studio 100.
