Nickelodeon anunció un nuevo crecimiento en ratings en Argentina durante el mes de julio de 2019.

El canal continúa conquistando audiencias y se ubica en el top 3 en los canales de TV paga infantiles, con una diferencia de 0,002 respecto al top 2.

Nickelodeon incrementó su rating un +30% (rat% 0.58) desde octubre de 2018 a la fecha logrando el mayor crecimiento de la categoría infantil.

From Variety:

Pierluigi Gazzolo on Viacom International Studios, the Spanish-language Market

CANNES — The L.A. Screenings represented the coming out of Viacom International Studios, which hit the market, then Conecta Fiction in Spain, with a powerful presentation of trailers.

The Conecta Fiction lineup signaled that VIS is also open to co-production and collaboration with creators in not only Latin America but far beyond; “To Catch a Thief” is written by one of Spain’s foremost TV creators, Javier Olivares;“Victoria Small,” Daniel Burman’s daily scripted comedy drama hit is produced with The Mediapro Studio; “Bad People” with “La Casa de Papel” original producers Atresmedia.

Also on the Conecta Fiction presentation was the “Red Dot,” a fantasy romantic thriller produced in Spain; “Spirit House,” originated by “Final Destination” creator Jeffrey Reddick, and produced with Convergence Entertainment; “Before I Forget,” a reversion from Turkey’s Ay Yapim.

In the run-up to Mipcom, it didn’t seem that a day went by without an announcement from VIS or Viacom Intl. Media Networks – Americas. During that period, Pierluigi Gazzolo, president of Viacom Intl. Media Networks – Americas, updated Variety on the dramatic build of VIS, and trends sweeping Latin America, and that the boom in its programming is not just a question of language.

Could you talk about what you think are the main trends of production in drama series?

Viacom has always been an IP-driven company. We’ve always been about content, and in the ’90s, in LATAM, our focus was primarily on the network business. The reality is that in addition to the networks, we own 95% of our content. We have always said we must continue expanding. The media world is changing, and owning IP is key. In Latin America specifically, we’ve long had the U.S. properties, but we also created content for our Latin American networks: Nickelodeon, MTV, and Comedy Central. We then added Telefe, which as you know is one of the largest producers of content in Argentina, and then we acquired Porta dos Fundos, which is one of the top YouTube channels in Brazil, focused on TV-quality comedy content. We took these three and said: Let’s put them together, and that is how we created Viacom International Studios. Since then, from the beginning of 2018, we’ve grown significantly in revenues, and we’ve produced about 900 hours of content. We are expecting to continue growing our revenues at very high levels of nearly 60% this year.

60% in 2019?

Correct. We expect to grow nearly 60% in studio revenues compared to last year. Within Latin America the Studio has become a powerhouse production house, creating content for our channels and third parties. We create content for SVODs like Amazon and Netflix, and broadcasters like Mega and TV Azteca. In some cases, we even create content for our competition. It really has become a full-fledged studio.

Can you give a few examples?

For the first time,Telefe is exporting is content outside not only Argentina, but outside of Latin America, going to the U.S. For example, we recently announced that we closed a deal with Paramount TV to produce “100 Days To Fall In Love,” which was a hit format created and developed by Viacom International Studios for Telefe and Underground Producciones in Argentina for Showtime. It was a big hit in Argentina, with a 60% audience market share. We are also having conversations with countries in Europe to sell them the format to produce their own versions of our hit novelas.

Another example of Viacom International Studios creating great content for export is in Brazil with our hit YouTube comedy channel, Porta dos Fundos. A few weeks ago, we signed an agreement with YouTube Originals to produce a new reality series, “The New Future Ex Porta Actor,” which will document the search for a new comedian to join the Porta Dos Fundos’ cast exclusively for YouTube. This summer, we launched the Spanish-language version of the comedy platform, called “Backdoor,” which has already reached over 2 million subscribers and we just announced last week an agreement with Amazon Prime Video to acquire the first season of “Backdoor – Humor por donde no lo esperas” (Backdoor- Comedy Where You Don’t Expect It) (20 eps. x 30 seconds). The series will feature brand new comedy sketches by Backdoor and premiered on Comedy Central Latin America on Sept. 9, with the full series coming to Prime Video in Latin America later this year.

Quite a lot of the shows you were showing at Conecta Fiction are co-productions, is that correct?

Yes. Sometimes we develop on our own from the start, but we also like to work with third parties that we respect. We recently partnered with Mediapro Studio to produce “Victoria Small.” In its first week of air in Argentina, it reached 50% market share viewing. It’s our next big hit. It has the promise to be the next format to travel around the world, similar to “100 Days to Fall in Love.” So yes, we work with co-production partners, and sometimes we also do pre-buys with partners; however, we always seek to own the majority of the production and retain distribution rights.

How would you judge the demand for scripted content or Spanish language scripted content now?

There is so much content being produced right now, that I said to myself: “Where is it going to go?” But the reality is that the psychology of consumption has changed, and people need more and more content to watch. They want more choices and distributors and platforms want to offer more choices. The average consumer has more headspace to watch much more, so I think it will continue. I think their desire for content was underestimated in the past. There will always be more demand in our view of consumption. That’s the exciting part.

And demand for a specific type of content?

In our particular case, we’re finding that dramas with comedic events, “dramadies”, that have some sense of lightness– lead the way. Great examples are “100 Days To Fall in Love” and now “Victoria Small,” co-produced with Mediapro Studio. Also, tween telenovelas, such as VIS’s Nickelodeon “Club 57,” are becoming popular all over the world

What about the export potential?

There are amazing writers and developers in the Spanish-speaking world, incredible production quality both in Latin America and Spain, and the stories that are being told are universal. “100 Days to Fall in Love” is a perfect example. We develop the story, so it is ready to be exported. Even shows that have stayed in Spanish for distribution like Atresmedia/Netflix’’s “La Casa de Papel” go worldwide. It’s a very exciting time, and I think Latin America and Spain will continue to be big players.

Is that because we are a very big language market?

Yes, but it’s important to note that it is not just the language. Even within Latin countries there are complexities of culture. Argentine versions are not the same as in Chile, even though they are right next to one another. Same for Chilean and Mexico. So, there’s nothing that can replace the passion and knowledge in a script. We have become very good storytellers, and I think the world recognizes that. So when I say Latin America and Spain will continue to be big players, I’m referring to how we tell stories and how our formats can travel around the world regardless of language.

La ficción está creada por la guionista Catharina Ledoboer, quien ha escrito múltiples éxitos para Nickelodeon, incluyendo Every Witch Way (cuatro temporadas), WITS Academy y Talia in the Kitchen para Nickelodeon EEUU; y tres exitosas temporadas de Grachi, la novela juvenil de Nickelodeon Latinoamérica.

Nickelodeon se corona como el segundo canal infantil más visto en Argentina

El canal se posicionó en el puesto número 2 en el último trimestre y, en lo que va de 2019, logró un incremento de 27% comparado a 2018.

2019 culminará como otro gran año para Nickelodeon, con un crecimiento continuo en el rating de canales infantiles de Argentina.

El canal se posicionó en el puesto número 2 en el último trimestre y en lo que va de 2019 logró un incremento de +27% comparado a 2018.

Es el canal con mayor aumento en sus niveles de audiencia, en un año en el que la mayoría de los canales de niños sufrieron una caída en las mediciones.

Además, en lo que va de 2019, más de 8.2 millones personas sintonizaron Nickelodeon, el cual logró superar la hora promedio de visionado (66 minutos), lo que representa un 14% de crecimiento con respecto a 2018.

Nickelodeon, una marca propiedad de ViacomCBS sigue avanzando posiciones en los ratings de la categoría infantil. En la semana del 18 y el 24 de noviembre de 2019, logró ser el canal más visto en TV paga (no solo de canales infantiles).

La excelente performance del año se debe en gran parte a la repercusión de las animaciones favoritas: The Loud House, la serie sobre la caótica y divertida vida de Lincoln, un niño que vive en una casa con 10 hermanas y Bob Esponja, el más popular de los integrantes de la familia naranja que está celebrando sus 20 años. Además de “Sponge Master”, que combina actividades a través de la app con transmisiones en vivo desde Nick y que desde su estreno en julio fue un éxito en el canal y en Nick Play.

El gran año del canal también está vinculado al suceso de la última súper producción internacional Club 57, la serie live action de Viacom International Studios (VIS) que refleja las aventuras de Eva (Evaluna Montaner) y su hermano, quienes descubren una máquina del tiempo que accidentalmente los lleva a 1957.

Welcome to the Crystal Maze | New Trailer | The Crystal Maze | Nickelodeon

Get ready to enter the Crystal Dome in Nickelodeon’s brand new family game show, The Crystal Maze, premiering Friday, Jan. 24, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon!


Share it: #CrystalMaze @nickelodeon

Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze is an all-new version of the legendary UK hit series, premiering Friday, Jan. 24, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT). The Crystal Maze will feature comedian/writer Adam Conover as the Maze Master, charged with guiding one family team through physical and mental challenges set within an elaborate labyrinth of four giant and immersive themed zones: Aztec, Eastern, Futuristic and Industrial.

The premiere episode of The Crystal Maze will feature a family from Houston, Texas, tackling a range of challenges in the maze for the first time ever for U.S. audiences. This season will feature families from: Scottsdale, Ariz; Lake Forest, Calif; Eastvale, Calif ; St. Augustine, Fla; Windemere, Fla; Chester, Va; Germantown, Tenn; Carollton, Texas; and Wheaton, Ill.

In each episode, the youngest family member takes on the role of team Captain. The successful completion of escape-room style challenges are rewarded with a “time crystal” granting the family five seconds in the centerpiece final zone called the Crystal Dome. The more crystals gathered throughout the game, the more time each family has for a dramatic clock countdown challenge inside the iconic Dome for a chance to win up to $25,000.

A current ratings smash in the UK, The Crystal Maze has been a beloved family and cult favorite since the mid ‘90s, with the current global popularity of the escape room phenomena reigniting interest further. The show was recently rebooted to great success with celebrity, charity and family seasons in UK, Australia and beyond.

The Crystal Maze is co-produced by Bunim/Murray Productions (The Real World, The Challenge, Born This Way) and RDF Television (Secret Life of 4 Year Olds, Wife Swap, Shipwrecked) under parent company Banijay Group. Gil Goldschein and Maria Pepin from Bunim/Murray Productions, Neale Simpson from Fizz, part of RDF Television, and Stephen David from Stephen David Entertainment serve as executive producers. Production of The Crystal Maze for Nickelodeon is overseen by Rob Bagshaw, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Content.

Production on the new series (10 one-hour episodes) took place on the show's original set located at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, England, earlier this summer.

Devised by Jacques Antoine, the UK version of The Crystal Maze was originally hosted by Richard O'Brien (Rocky Horror), followed by Ed Tudor-Pole. The reboot was originally presented by Stephen Merchant (for Stand Up To Cancer), and currently by Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd, Travel Man) with his "hand." The show's theme song is the legendary "Force Field", below. The show is currently filmed at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol.

Nickelodeon to Premiere 'SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!' Special on Saturday, January 4, 2020

Nickelodeon will premiere a brand-new half-hour SpongeBob SquarePants special titled "SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!" in 2020! The network announced the sponge-tastic news today during its "SpongeBob Appreciation Day" panel at New York Comic Con 2019.

Update (12/19) - Nickelodeon will premiere "SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!" on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. (ET/PT)!


In "SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!", SpongeBob’s biggest fans wash up on the island above Bikini Bottom to celebrate SpongeBob Appreciation Day! Hosted by Patchy with appearances by Meghan Trainor, Jon Heder, Rob Riggle and Abraham Lincoln! It'll also count down fan-voted SpongeBob moments.




Update (10/9) - In a sponge-tastic interview with The Beat, SpongeBob producers Vincent Waller and Marc Ceccarelli spilled more info about the "SpongeBob Appreciation Day: Patchy’s Beach Bash!" special!:

The Beat: The Patchy the Pirate Special was announced at the panel. Can you talk a bit more about that?

Ceccarelli: That was something that they wanted to do for the 20th Anniversary. They wanted to do a clip show. The Patchy Special is going to be a clip show where he’s stranded on the island and he’s reenacting sequences from his favorite episodes—

Waller: —for whatever celebrity is stranded on the island and has to suffer the clip show with this slightly crazed pirate.

The Beat: So is this all in puppets?

Waller: It starts on land and then goes into the thing you actually want to see.

During the "SpongeBob Appreciation Day" panel at NYCC, the cast and crew celebrated the legacy of the show's late creator Stephen Hillenburg, who passed away last November, and talked about SpongeBob memes. Check out some highlights from Nick's "SpongeBob Appreciation Day" NYCC 2019 panel below!:
