Nickelodeon France To Premiere "Rufus" On Sunday 8th May 2016

Nickelodeon France has announced the PAWsome news in a trailer, below, that Nickelodeon France will premiere the brand-new Nickelodeon Original Movie Rufus, locally titled Un ami qui tombe pile-poil, on Sunday 8th May 2016 at 17h10!:



Ever wondered what would happen if your Dog became a dude? Manny lives the tail in Rufus! In Nickelodeon's brand-new original television movie, Manny has moved to a new school, and is finding it hard to fit in. After wishing he had more friends, Manny finds a mysterious collar and puts it on his loyal dog, Rufus. Suddenly, Rufus is magically transformed into a real boy!


Manny's not sure what to do, so he enrolls Rufus in school. Quickly, Manny learns that having a dog-turned-dude by your side is pretty awesome, but it's no walk in the park, either. When the other students notice Rufus's silly dog antics - chasing squirrels, eating without utensils, asking for belly rubs, and catching soccer balls and flying discs with his mouth - he immediately earns school-wide pup-ularity. Manny becomes jealous of his new best friend but eventually leans that a dog's loyalty to his owner always comes first.


Rufus stars Jace Norman (Henry Danger, Splitting Adam) as Rufus, Haley Tju (Bella and the Bulldogs) as Paige, and Davis Cleveland (Shake It Up!) as Manny.

Make it count, play it straight
Don't look back, don't hesitate

Never quit and make it real

Go and make your luck with the life you choose
If you want it all lay it on the line
It's the only life you got so you gotta live it big time

Viacom Warns Dish Customers May Lose Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central And More Following Carriage Dispute

Viacom Inc. has said its discussions with satellite TV provider Dish Network Corp. to renew carriage of its TV channels have broken down, and its programming will likely go dark for Dish customers on Wednesday 20th April 2016 if the two companies can't agree to new terms for carriage.

Please visit KeepViacom.com for full information.



Viacom's carriage deal with Dish Network is scheduled to expire on Wednesday 20th April 2016 and no agreement is in sight, a Viacom spokesman told reporters on Tuesday.

Viacom is also warning Dish consumers via a on-screen graphic visible at the bottom of the screen when watching Viacom's channels.

The media company, owner of networks such as Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV and TV Land, accused Dish of making unreasonable demands, despite its offer of a best-in-class deal on rates and terms for carriage of its networks.

In the statement issued to the press on Tuesday, Viacom said:

"We are extremely disappointed that Dish has not engaged in a serious way to reach an agreement for Viacom's No. 1 family of cable networks."

"This is par for the course for Dish, which has deliberately derailed 10 renewal negotiations since last year by engaging in unproductive discussions and contentious public battles."

"In addition to depriving our fans of our networks and programming, Dish is further undermining their fundamentally disadvantaged business by driving their subscribers to switch to another provider."

Dish's agreement with Viacom had been set to expire two months ago, though the parties agreed to an extension, which expires Wednesday night.

Negotiations with Dish are the first test for Viacom Chief Executive Officer Philippe Dauman, an attorney who is known for his negotiation prowess, since he became executive chair of the company earlier this year.

Dauman previously said negotiations were extended and he expected to reach an agreement with Dish next quarter.
