Carriage Dispute to See Canada's Eastlink Drop 34 Corus Entertainment Channels, Inc. Nickelodeon, YTV and Treehouse

Canada - Eastlink cable subscribers soon won’t be able to watch Nickelodeon Canada, YTV, and Treehouse, among 34 other channels on the service, as the telecom provider says it’s been unable to reach a carriage agreement with Corus Entertainment.

“We worked very hard to reach an agreement with Corus that would not impact the availability of these channels. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach such an agreement, which means we have to remove these channels from our lineup as of June 27,” Jill Laing, Eastlink’s Director of Public Affairs, told Broadcast Dialogue.

Eastlink began sending notices to its cable subscribers this week alerting them to the removal of the channels from their offerings. In addition to the aforementioned Nickelodeon Canada, YTV, and Treehouse, Corus-distributed specialty channels like Food Network, History, Slice, National Geographic, CMT, OWN, Disney Channel, Disney XD, Disney Junior, Cartoon Network, Movie Time, BC1, Global on Demand, DejaView, DTOUR, Magnolia Network, Crime Investigation, Lifetime, History 2, National Geographic Wild, ABC Spark, Cooking Channel, Adult Swim, Boomerang, Series Plus, Historia, Disney La Chaine,Teletoon French, HGTV Canada, W Network and Showcase are also slated to disappear.

“We recognize that this is disappointing for some customers and will impact customers in different ways, depending on their viewing preferences and packages. We are working closely with our customers and making every effort to ensure their individual needs are supported in a way that is meaningful to them,” said Laing.

She said customers will continue to receive the same number of channels with comparable programming. Super Channel Heart and Home, for example, will be added to packages in place of W Network, along with channels like Cottage Life, Discovery Channel, Smithsonian, FX, and Family. The company says customers will have the flexibility to customize their channel lineup with TV Channel Exchange, offering access to new TV package options.

Privately held by the Bragg family, Nova Scotia-headquartered Eastlink currently operates in seven provinces, including Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. It’s estimated the company serves more than 250,000 cable subscribers.

Corus told Broadcast Dialogue, the company is still open to future negotiations.

“Our door is always open to future negotiations and we would like to thank Eastlink for its partnership over the years,” the company said in an emailed statement. “Corus’ channels are still available to subscribers through alternative distribution channels in these markets including STACKTV and other distributors Bell, Telus, Shaw Direct and VMedia, depending on location and province.”

Global live TV streaming service FuboTV was quick to announce a new entertainment-focused subscription package for Canadian customers, in which Corus Entertainment networks from the STACKTV platform (which is also available via Amazon Prime Video) feature prominently.

A selection of Nickelodeon content is available to stream on Paramount+.

LUSH, NICKELODEON AND PARAMOUNT CONSUMER PRODUCTS ANNOUNCE NEW SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS COLLABORATION

Partnership Kicks off With Dedicated SpongeBob Lush Kitchen Subscription Box, Including Patrick Soap, Gary the Snail Bath Bomb and Bikini Bottom Bubble Blower

SpongeBob x Lush Kitchen

#SPONGEBOBXLUSH

London – May 24, 2023 – Lush, Nickelodeon and Paramount Consumer Products today announced a new SpongeBob SquarePants collaboration tied to SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Sea Change, a global ocean conservation and sustainability initiative. The partnership includes an exclusive SpongeBob-themed box of plastic-free goodies based on fan-favourites Patrick Star and Gary the Snail along with Bikini Bottom. The Lush Kitchen subscription box will hit doorsteps July 2023, in time for Plastic Free July. Additional elements of the partnership will be announced in the coming weeks.

Lush customers everywhere can now subscribe to the Lush Kitchen for £35 a month + shipping and receive a Lush Kitchen Subscription Box featuring 4-5 exclusive products. The contents of every box is based on subscriber votes from a changing monthly menu, plus one or two surprise goodies chosen by Lush. All products are made fresh and to order. To find out more about when your fresh handmade products will be dispatched as well as other key Lush Kitchen dates, including voting, payment and registration dates, please click here. To receive this special Kitchen box, customers can sign up now through to Monday June 5th.

‘We love soap! So, to create a plastic free range of products on behalf of SpongeBob SquarePants, an iconic character, series and brand, representing an undersea world that we are all trying to protect, was an obvious fit for a Lush. We’re proud that 66% of our entire product range is unpackaged and we are thrilled to partner with Paramount and Nickelodeon on SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Sea Change.‘ -Melody Morton, Lush Concepts Creative Director

Lush Kitchen x SpongeBob

Lush wants to help Lush Kitchen customers to make a sea change to help save the home of their favourite fictional sponge—whether they’re taking their first step away from pump hand-soaps, or whether they feel motivated to move their full routine over to plastic-free alternatives, Lush is here with solutions for every point in the plastic-free journey.

Through partnerships with several non-profit organizations, SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Sea Change aims to help remove and divert five million pounds of ocean plastic over the next four years by funding clean-up projects and educate millions of fans on how they can help protect the undersea home of all creatures—including a certain silly sea star, sourpuss octopus, and optimistic yellow sponge. 

“We are thrilled to partner with Lush, a company that has a long history in protecting the environment and shares our excitement for the SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Sea Change initiative to protect the world’s oceans and its inhabitants.

“Pairing the colourful and creative plastic free products of Lush with the fun and positivity of SpongeBob is a perfect fit, while creating awareness around the clean ocean efforts and its importance.”
-Veronica Hart, Executive Vice President, Global Franchise Planning and CP Marketing, Paramount.

About the Lush Kitchen

Summer 2020 marks the start of a new era for the Lush Kitchen in the form of a monthly subscription box and Lush Kitchen membership. The concept of Lush Kitchen however has been on a journey to get here.

In 2014 the Lush Kitchen first launched, making small batches of limited edition products daily that were available to purchase exclusively online. For the first time, fans of Lush were able to see the inner workings of the factory and just how the Lush Compounders hand make products, using the best quality and responsibly sourced ingredients at their freshest and most effective. In 2017 the Lush Kitchen doors closed on the previous format after 3 years of weekly menus and polaroid pictures.

Now, they’re switching up their game and taking things in a new and exciting direction!

About Lush

Since establishing over 27 years ago, Lush has been driven by innovation and its ethics. Creators of pioneering beauty products, one of Lush’s most well known creations is the bath bomb. Invented in 1989 by Lush Co-Founder Mo Constantine in her garden shed, bath bombs have become a global sensation – all hand pressed in Lush’s own manufacturing sites across the world, Lush sold over 40.5 million last year.

A beauty company with a campaigning heart, Lush is on a mission to create a product for every need and a cosmetic revolution to save the planet. The ultimate goal is to leave the world Lusher than we found it. Lush operates a strict policy against animal testing and leads the cosmetics industry in combating over-packaging by developing products that can be sold ‘naked’ to the consumer. Lush Digital champions ethical hardware, ethical data, ethical design and open source technologies and we support and elevate communities who feel the same.

Today, Lush operates in 49 countries with over 900 shops, 38 websites shipping worldwide and a global network of native apps, broadcasting channels and digital communities in over 30 languages.

Paramount+ Launches a Custom Roku City Neighborhood

Paramount+ Launches a Custom Roku City Neighborhood

Roku fills Roku City beta offering just weeks after unveiling it
to advertisers at the IAB NewFronts


SAN JOSE, Calif. – May 24, 2023 – Today, Roku (Nasdaq: ROKU), the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico*, announced that Paramount+, which has seen the most signups since launch of any premium streaming service**, will become the first entertainment brand to launch a custom Roku City Neighborhood. The new Roku City Neighborhoods will feature brand-specific buildings, visuals, and destinations to make those brands unmissable, right when viewers start and end their streaming session.

Roku City is TV’s biggest and most beloved digital downtown, with nearly 40 million homes enjoying the destination each month. Roku recently featured Roku City in its first out-of-home campaign in Times Square and announced the debut of Roku City Neighborhoods at its IAB NewFront on Tuesday, May 2. In just weeks, the beta offering has reached capacity with advertisers through Q3 2023.

Viewers will be able to see the Paramount+ Roku City Neighborhood from May 25-29. Through a memorable interactive visual experience, the Paramount+ Roku City Neighborhood will connect Paramount+’s “mountain” logo with popular franchises such as “Transformers,” “Star Trek,” UEFA Champions League, and “PAW Patrol.” The neighborhood will offer playful and recognizable easter eggs for viewers to enjoy as Roku City scrolls across the largest screen in the home. Additionally, viewers will be able to click to sign up and start watching promoted shows and movies on Paramount+.

As the first entertainment company to bring its brand and popular content to Roku City, Paramount+ is leading the way for brands looking to stand out. Roku helps content owners win the entire streamer’s journey – going well beyond customer acquisition to drive engagement, retention, and brand-building for the long term.

“We designed our platform to help partners build thriving businesses in a world where all TV is streamed,” said Peter Hamilton, Director of Ad Innovation at Roku. “This first-of-its-kind campaign makes Paramount+ unmissable at the key moments when viewers are deciding what to watch next.”

“Bringing Paramount Mountain and many of our beloved franchises to Roku City through this first-ever fully branded takeover is a fun and disruptive new way for us to engage and delight fans of the diverse and popular offering that has been fueling the rapid growth of Paramount+,” said Domenic DiMeglio, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Paramount Streaming. “We have partnered closely with Roku to creatively feature fan-favorite characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants, ‘Halo's’ Master Chief, and ‘Survivor’ host Jeff Probst throughout Roku City, along with other fun easter eggs including the Starfleet Headquarters and the Dutton's iconic barn from 1923, which will further immerse customers in the experience and drive conversation across social.”

Lyrics:
How interesting 
You’re sure it’s your time 
The dangerous part of youth is thinking you’re in your prime 

How interesting 
You’re hitting the road 
But let me tell you something, Crystal, darling, don’t go 

My name's not Crystal 

So? Fashion's meant to change the conversation
No, fashion's meant to change my life and save it 

Slow down 
You’re blistering my patience 
Slow down

Brutal honesty, girl, that’s what you need 
If you up and leave, you’ll lose everything 
Stay where you can be the rise instead of the fall 

Brutal honesty, tee hee hee hee hee
(Brutal honesty, tee hee hee hee hee)

How interesting 
You think I should quit 
That’s quite a proclamation for someone who don’t exist 

Oh, NYC will E-A-T you, baby 
So?

Sticking to your guns requires bravery 
Hold out
Rydell needs your saving 
And you still need your friends, baby

Brutal honesty, girl, that’s what you need 
If you up and leave, you’ll lose everything 
Stay where you can be the rise instead of the fall 

Brutal honesty’s my middle name 
Told all of my friends right to their face 
What I think of them
And then did it again 
It ended in disaster all the same

Ugh, before I transcend back to heaven or to hell 
I need you to be brutally honest with yourself 

Brutal honesty, damn, that’s what I need 
If I up and leave, I’ll lose everything 
Stay where you can be the rise instead of the fall 

Brutal honesty
Tee hee hee hee hee 
(Brutal honesty 
Tee hee hee hee hee)

Brutal honesty 
Tee hee hee hee hee 
(Brutal honesty 
Tee hee hee hee hee)

You are the fantasy 
My darling, darling Nancy 
Good luck to you 
And don’t…die

Paramount+ to Premiere 'Love Allways', A New Gen-Z Dating Show Produced by Awesomeness, on June 2

NEW REALITY SERIES “LOVE ALLWAYS” STREAMING ON PARAMOUNT+ JUNE 2

Series Also Available to Stream on Awesomeness YouTube Channel

New Gen-Z Dating Show Produced by Awesomeness Unscripted and Digital Studio


May 15, 2023 – One pansexual bachelorette is given the chance of a lifetime to find her perfect match in the all-new dating series LOVE ALLWAYS, produced by Awesomeness Unscripted and Digital Studio. The first three episodes of the Gen-Z reality show will drop on Paramount+ on Friday, June 2, followed by a weekly release of the season’s remaining seven episodes on Paramount+ and Awesomeness’ YouTube channel.

Try Paramount+ for FREE at ParamountPlus.com.

Over 10 episodes, bachelorette Lexi Paloma is freed from typical dating show gender norms as she sets out to find true love. But what’s love without a little friendly competition? As she narrows down her pool of contestants of all genders, some start falling for one another, causing a spiral of drama, betrayal, passion and jealousy. Throughout the process, Lexi is assisted by two professional relationship gurus, Spicy Mari and Anthony Recenello, who also serve as mentors to their teams of potential suitors. Not only are the daters competing for a chance at love, but the relationship gurus are also going toe-to-toe to see whose protégé gets chosen.

The cast also includes Sienna Scibird, Jasmine Cervantes, Kalysta Mallory, Camille Cupid, Rylin Utah, Jayme Aiden, Cyprien Boustiha, Marc Bateman, Tyler Hearing, Luis Diaz, Brian Batesy, Joshua Cureton and Cameron James.

LOVE ALLWAYS is the third project from the Awesomeness Unscripted and Digital Studio to stream on Paramount+, following the content creator reality competition AWESOMENESSTV’S NEXT INFLUENCER and coming-of-age reality series MY DREAM QUINCEAÑERA. Production of the new series for Awesomeness is overseen by Ashley Kaplan, executive vice president of unscripted and digital studio; Paul J Medford, vice president of unscripted, current series; and Luke Wahl, vice president of unscripted original content. Tara Cole serves as executive producer.
