It seems like it was just yesterday when we first heard that undeniably catchy “Baby Shark” theme song. But in fact, it was ten years ago when The Pinkfong company introduced us to the global preschool phenomenon. Now, just in time for your New Year’s Eve party, we have a preschool musical collab to help celebrate the tenth birthday of the property.
Hasbro’s Peppa Pig and The Pinkfong Company’s Baby Shark are making a big splash with a new music mash-up video, sources have told Animation Magazine. Yes, you too can now brighten your winter day with the musical majesty that is the new “Baby Shark X Peppa Pig (Dance Remix)!”
The new animated music video lets families experience a vibrant underwater adventure, where Peppa and her family board a submarine, dive beneath the waves, and meet Baby Shark and his family in a mystical celebration of friendship, music, and play.
“Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo/ Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo/ Baby shark,” the original lyrics repeat, followed by the addition of Peppa & Company: “Oh, Peppa Pig, Peppa Pig!/ She’s Peppa Pig, Peppa Pig!/ I am Peppa Pig!”
The two characters are some of the most influential in 2000s children’s media, with “Baby Shark” first making a splash in 2016 before catching on like wildfire around the world. The song reached a peak of No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019, and its video crossed the 10 billion-view threshold on YouTube in 2022.
Meanwhile, Peppa Pig has been a beloved British TV show since 2004, and a staple in kid’s music for almost as long. The adorable swine has covered a number of hit tracks — including BTS’ “Dynamite” and Katy Perry’s “Roar” last year — and has released several original albums over the years, most recently dropping Happy Holidays With Peppa Pig Vol. 2 this past November.
“With colorful worlds colliding, familiar characters singing together, and an infectious soundtrack to match, the collaboration is designed to capture imaginations and bring joy to fans of all ages,” a press release for the new remix reads. “This milestone is more than a duet — it’s a cultural crossover between two preschool powerhouses and the first time PEPPA PIG has joined forces with another family entertainment music artist!”

Paramount Global is reportedly planning to close nine channels in Poland and Hungary, including TeenNick and NickMusic.
Although currently unannounced by Paramount Global, a spokesperson for Orange Polska has revealed to wirtualnemedia.pl that the media company has told Polish television operators that they're planning to shutter Nickelodeon channels TeenNick and NickMusic, along with MTV channels MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV 00s, MTV Hits, MTV Live, Club MTV, we well as Polsat Comedy Central Extra, in the region by the end of the year. Representatives from Paramount in Poland declined to comment on this information when reached by satkurier.pl.
In Poland, the music channels MTV 90s, MTV 00s, and MTV Live are broadcast via satellite and are available on Polsat Box and CANAL+. The entertainment-focused Polsat Comedy Central Extra, as well as the children's channels TeenNick and NickMusic, are also available in these platforms' packages.
Update (16/7): Paramount will also be closing 10 channels in Hungary on Wednesday 31st December 2025: Teen Nick, Nick Music, Comedy Central, Paramount Network, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV 00s, MTV Hits, MTV Live HD, and Club MTV. Nickelodeon wise, this will leave Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Nicktoons in the region.
Update (8/8): Paramount is set to close MTV 80s, MTV 00s and Nick Music will be closing in the Benelux region.
Update (29/11): Paramount has reportedly reversed its decision on TeenNick in Hungary, and will keep the channel on-air past December 2025!
Update (31/12): TeenNick and NickMusic channels in select regions, including Romania, have started displaying lower-third banners with scrolling text saying that the channels will shut down on Thursday 1st January 2026.
Last week, zive.sk was the first to report the planned closure of several channels from the Paramount Global portfolio in Slovakia and Hungary, whilst Media Insider reported that Paramount is also planning to close several channels in New Zealand, including Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.
The channel closures come as Paramount is in the midst of cutting operating costs ahead of their merger with Skydance Media, which has also included layoffs and studio closures.
The channels being phased out in Europe have diverse thematic profiles:
TeenNick Polska is aimed at viewers aged 10 to 16, and primarily broadcasts older live-action Nickelodeon series and recent TV movies for tweens and teens. It launched in Poland on September 1, 2021.
NickMusic Polska, featuring popular music for children and teenagers, launched in Poland in June 2021, replacing MTV Music. This station operated from 2017 to 2021 after replacing Viva Polska.
Polsat Comedy Central Extra debuted in March 2020, replacing Comedy Central Family. The channel's offerings includes both international series (Friends, Keeping Up Appearances, Allo, Allo!), as well as reruns of shows from the Polsat TV channel (Åwiat wedÅug Kiepskich, Rodzina zastÄpcza).
Produced in Poland, MTV 80s began broadcasting in December 2005 as VH1 Classic. In October 2020, it changed its name to MTV 80s and broadcasts music videos from the 80s.
MTV 90s, which was also created in Poland, broadcasts songs from the '90s. It was launched in the fall of 2020, replacing MTV Rocks.
Similarly, MTV 00s, also created by the Polish branch of Paramount Global (then ViacomCBS), plays hits from the noughties. It was launched in August 2021, replacing VHF1 Europe.
MTV Hits launched in Europe (initially in the UK) in 2001. It then replaced MTV Extra. It broadcasts new music videos and recent hits from pop, rock, dance, and R&B music. It has a local version, among others, in France.
Club MTV, featuring dance and club music, launched in the UK in 2001 as MTV Dance. In 2008, it replaced MTV Base on Polish cable networks. In June 2020, MTV Dance changed its name to Club MTV.
MTV Live HD began broadcasting on 15 September 2008 in parts of Europe under the name MTVNHD (MTV-Nickelodeon HD). It was the first international station in high definition dedicated to music videos. Initially, the channel’s programming was divided into two blocks: MTV HD and Nickelodeon HD. However, on 1 July 2011, the channel shifted its focus entirely to live music programming. The station broadcasts music videos, concerts, and entertainment programs. Initially managed by MTVNI's Emerging Markets group, the channel was produced and broadcast from its Warsaw hub until 22 April 2012, when operations moved to Paramount's London headquarters in Hawley Crescent in Camden (occupying the former TV-AM studios).
The channels are part of Paramount Networks Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia (EMEAA), a division of Paramount International Networks which is fully owned by Paramount Global. Most of the closing channels are broadcast in standard definition and are commercial-free.
At the time of posting, the following channels from Paramount Global's portfolio are expected to continue broadcasting in Poland: Nickelodeon, NickToons, and Nick Jr. (live-action and animated TV series and movies for preschoolers, children and teenagers); MTV Polska (entertainment programmes, reality, music); Paramount Network (films and TV series); and Comedy Central (comedies and entertainment programmes).
The company is also a co-owner (along with Comcast) of the SkyShowtime streaming service in Europe. It is possible that, following other markets, it will launch the Pluto TV platform with FAST channels in Poland.
Updates (8/8):
- Five Paramount-operated music channels exited the Foxtel platform in Australia on 30 June 2025: MTV Hits (Ch. 801), Nick Music (Ch. 802), MTV Club (Ch. 803), MTV 80s (Ch. 804), and CMT (Ch. 805). Notably, most of the same music-themed channels—or similar variants such as MTV 00s, MTV 90s, and MTV Hits—are still available on Fetch TV. This round of exits also follows the quiet removal of MTV-branded music channels from 10 Play, where a raft of FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) channels had been supported by Paramount’s Pluto TV. Comedy Central has also closed on Fetch TV;
- CMT Australia shuttered on July 31, following its departure from Foxtel in June.

Paramount is reportedly planning to close six linear TV channels - including Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. - in Brazil.
Paramount is set to shutter its six linear television channels in Brazil. The affected channels are: Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., MTV, MTV Live, Comedy Central, and Paramount Channel. The channels will be removed from subscription television services, with programming also being removed from television providers' on-demand/streaming services.
According to information obtained by NaTelinha, television distributors have already begun receiving notifications that, starting Wednesday, December 31, 2025, Paramount will work solely with Paramount+ under the D2C (direct-to-consumer) model—that is, without partnerships with broadcasters—in addition to maintaining its free Pluto TV streaming service.
According to sources cited by the outlet, the decision is due to a drop in advertising revenue, combined with a decrease in the number of pay-TV subscribers. The company's sports rights, which include broadcasts of tournaments such as the Copa Libertadores, will remain in effect.
In addition, the high costs associated with the Servicio de Acceso Condicionado (SeAC), the regulatory body that governs the distribution of audiovisual content in Brazil through any electronic technology, played a role. Following its merger with Skydance Media in August, Paramount's goal is to become a Big Tech company, hence its strategy of selling content directly to the end consumer, eliminating the need for third parties.
It has not yet been revealed what will happen to these channels in the rest of Latin America, but the outlook does not seem encouraging. Nickelodeon-wise, Nickelodeon lost its independent feeds, and now utilize the pan-regional feed used for Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe. Elsewhere, Paramount will also be closing several channels, including TeenNick and NickMusic, in Europe by the end of the year, with Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. also set to sunset in New Zealand.
It is also known that, in order to expedite the acquisition by Skydance, Paramount has also sought to divest its broadcast television channels in Argentina and Chile, Telefe and ChilevisiĆ³n, respectively. There have even been rumors linking Telefe to businessman Gustavo Scaglione, although no official information has been released yet. In any case, our friends over at TVLaint have already contacted Paramount and are awaiting an official response.
Update (13/11) - Several Paramount channels, including Nickelodeon HD, Nick Jr. HD, TeenNick HD, and NickMusic, are set to leave Claro's satellite and IPTV packages in Costa Rica on Saturday, December 13.
Update (15/11) - SKY Brasil willbe removing Comedy Central, Paramount Channel and MTV on December 15.
Update (31/12) - Nickelodeon Brasil has started to display a banner with scrolling text saying that the channel will closedown on Thursday 1st January 2026.
Update (31/12) Part 2: TeenNick Latinoamerica will also closedown on Thursday 1st January 2026.
