Nickelodeon USA Promotes Keith Dawkins To EVP Of TeenNick & Nicktoons

Nickelodeon USA has upped Keith Dawkins to Executive Vice President (EVP) of TeenNick and Nicktoons, where he will lead operations for the tween- and teen-targeted networks.

Dawkins will also continue to oversee the group's recently launched programming initiatives: The Splat on TeenNick and Nicktoons' NickSports. Dawkins will mine further programming and partnership opportunities for The Splat and deepen Nickelodeon's relationships with sports leagues and athletes for content and marketing opportunities for NickSports.


Recently launched The Splat is a multiscreen content destination for Millennials that also includes seven social media platforms and a dedicated website featuring the most popular Nick content from the '90s and beyond. Nicktoons' NickSports, meanwhile, is a primetime programming block for sports fans that features original and acquired long- and short-form content from professional sports athletes and leagues like MLB, MLS, NASCAR, NFL and PGA.

Dawkins has built new content ideas with unique talent, including Rob Dyrdek for "Wild Grinders" and Nick Cannon for "TeenNick Top 10". As the first General Manager of Nicktoons, Dawkins has helped the network grow from eight million households to 68 million, become ad-supported and currently stand as the fastest growing kids' network in the marketplace. Dawkins has also overseen the launch of a roster of shows including "Wild Grinders", "Kappa Mikey", "Edgar & Ellen", "Skyland", "Speed Racer: The Next Generation" and "Dragon Ball Z Kai". He formed a partnership with Marvel Animation that brought several of their popular franchises to Nicktoons audiences, including "Wolverine and the X-Men" and "Iron Man: Armored Adventures", which both premiered to stellar ratings and led the network to double-digit year-over-year (YOY) growth.

Dawkins previously served as Senior Vice President (SVP) and General Manager (GM) for Nicktoons and TeenNick. In that role, he developed a variety of partnerships with such companies as Marvel Animation, FremantleMedia, Lionsgate, LEGO and the National Football League (NFL) designed to bring new content to the networks. The former Fox News Channel producer joined Nickelodeon in 2003 as Vice President (VP) and GM of Nicktoons.

During his tenure with Viacom, Dawkins has also served on numerous advisory boards that foster diversity and inclusion amongst peers, departments and networks, including the VH1 Diversity Team, the Nickelodeon Diversity Team and most recently the Viacom Office of Global Inclusion Advisory Committee (GIAC). The Viacom GIAC is committed to championing the next generation of leadership across all Viacom brands, and ensuring that the Viacom culture continues to evolve as a welcoming and inclusive place for talent, employees, leaders and partners. In addition to being a former board member of the NY chapter of "Reach out and Read," a national children's literacy organization, Dawkins currently sits on the Board of Governors for Ramapo College and he's the current inaugural President of the Ridgewood High School Alumni Association. A graduate of the CTAM Executive Management Program at Harvard Business School and the NAMIC Executive Leadership Program at UCLA's Anderson Graduate School of Management, Dawkins also holds a Bachelor's Degree in Communication from Ramapo College.

Nickelodeon And Paramount Release First "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows" Trailer

Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures have released the first full trailer for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows", the Michael Bay-produced sequel to 2014's hit film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"! Booyakasha!:



Released on Wednesday 9th December 2015, not long after actor Stephen Amell teased 14 seconds of footage via his own Facebook page, the action-packed trailer, set to a remix of Run DMC's "It's Tricky," features the four iconic heroes in a half shell brothers, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Leonardo back in action after saving New York City residents from a deadly virus in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and exhibiting their trademark humor and fighting skills. Shredder (Brian Tee) is on another tear, and this time, he has two henchmen, fan-favorites Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (current WWE World Heavyweight Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly), to do his evil bidding. The trailer also features a first-look at the Ninja Turtles' Battlewagon, "Tartaruga Brothers", in action!


April O' Neil (Megan Fox) and her bumbling cameraman Vernon Fenwick (Will Arnett) also return as they once again attempt to help out the four brothers as they battle with Bebop and Rocksteady who were transformed into monstrous creatures by T.C.R.I scientist Baxter Stockman played by Tyler Perry. William Fichtner also reprises his role of Eric Sacks from the 2014 movie. Returning voice actors include Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Noel Fisher as Michelangelo, Johnny Knoxville as Leonardo, Jeremy Howard as Donatello and Tony Shalhoub as Splinter.

Other newcomers for the sequel include "Arrow" star Stephen Amell as the hockey stick wielding vigilante Casey Jones, Brittany Ishibashi as Karai, and and J.J. Redick, along with a number of other players from the Los Angeles Clippers and the New York Knicks.

Laura Linney also makes an appearance in the trailer as new reporter Rebecca Vincent who jokingly asks the Turtles, "What are you? Superheros?"


At one point, when masked vigilante Casey Jones (Amell) tries to rescue April, Michelangelo gets protective and suspicious. "One question: Are you two guys, like, a thing?" he asks them.

"When something bad happens, you want to be with the Turtles" - Vernon Fenwick

General Krang, a commanding warlord in Dimension X in the popular "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comic book series, is also rumoured to be making a appearance in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II". According to reports, the character will be rendered using CGI.

A car in the movie will also feature the license plate "Mirage84" as an Easter Egg, which is a reference to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" first appearing in Mirage Comics in 1984.

Directed by David Green and produced by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, Andrew Form, Galen Walker and Scott Mednick, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" opens in US theaters on Friday 3rd June 2016.

The sequel is anticipated to be another success, following the first film earning more than $493 million globally on a reported $125 million budget.
