Original Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Northern Europe Press Release:

05. Januar 2016

Positive Bilanz: Viacom International Media Networks verzeichnet 2015 starke Marktanteile für sein Marken-Portfolio

Nicknight auf Erfolgskurs: Durchschnittlicher Marktanteil von 2,5 Prozent // Nickelodeon weiterhin stark am Markt mit durchschnittlich 9,2 Prozent Marktanteil // Gute Performance der Sender Comedy Central und VIVA

Viacom International Media Networks kann 2015 für sein Marken-Portfolio eine positive Bilanz ziehen. Im vergangenen Jahr konnten die Quotenerfolge aller Sender weiter ausgebaut werden.

"Wir freuen uns sehr über die positiven Quotenentwicklungen unserer Sendermarken Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Nicknight und VIVA im letzten Jahr. Besonders stolz sind wir dabei auf die erfolgreiche Etablierung unserer neuen Marke Nicknight.", betont Mark Specht, General Manager (GM) Viacom International Media Networks GSA.

Nicknight startete im Januar 2015 mit einem Marktanteil von 2,0 Prozent [1] in der Kernzielgruppe der 14- bis 29-Jährigen und konnte in den folgenden Monaten seine Marktanteile kontinuierlich ausbauen. Bester Monat für den Programmblock für junge Erwachsene seit seinem Launch im Oktober 2014 war der November 2015 mit einem Marktanteil von 3,3 Prozent [2] bei den 14- bis 29-jährigen Zuschauer. Im Durchschnitt erreichte Nicknight 2015 einen starken Marktanteil von 2,5 Prozent [3] und verzeichnet somit eine herausragende Erfolgsgeschichte. Zu den beliebtesten Sendungen der Zuschauer zählten im vergangenen Jahr u.a. die Serien 'Clarissa', 'Girl Code' und 'Degrassi - The Next Generation'. 2016 dürfen sich die Zuschauer auf weitere Programm-Highlights freuen: Es starten u.a. die zweite Staffel von 'The Next Step' und die fünfte Staffel von 'Awkward'.

Nickelodeon verzeichnet 2015 durchschnittlich einen sehr guten Marktanteil von 9,2 Prozent [4] in der Kernzielgruppe der drei- bis 13-Jährigen und positioniert sich als Kinder- und Familiensender weiterhin stark am Markt. Die Formate 'Die Thundermans' sowie die Dreamworks-Produktion 'Kung Fu Panda' und die neue Show 'Make it Pop' konnten 2015 besonders bei den Zuschauern punkten.

Auch die Sender Comedy Central und VIVA knüpfen 2015 an die guten Marktanteile aus dem Vorjahr an. Besonders die Verschiebung der Sendezeiten im Oktober 2015 erweist sich für beide Sender als Erfolg. So konnte Deutschlands einziger Comedy-Sender im Free TV im Dezember 2015 einen sehr guten Marktanteil von 1,1 Prozent [5] in der Zielgruppe der 14 bis 49-jährigen Zuschauer verzeichnen. Zu den beliebtesten Sendungen zählten u.a. 'South Park', 'Family Guy', 'Die wilden Siebziger' und 'Bob's Burgers'.
