Nickelodeon Star and actor Ryan Potter, who portrays the character 'Mike Fukunaga' on the hit live action Nickelodeon show "Supah Ninjas", confirmed the news in May 2013 that Nickelodeon has decided to cancel and not renew "Supah Ninjas" for a third season ("Supah Ninjas" season 3). Although not confirmed, it is rumoured that the reason why Nick has decided to not make a new season of the award-winning "Supah Ninjas" is because of low ratings.

Nickelodeon's New "Sanjay and Craig", "SpongeBob SquarePants" Top All US TV With Kids
Nickelodeon, one of the world's leading entertainment brands for kids and families, has announced, in the following press release from TVbytheNumbers, the Nickelodeon USA News that Nickelodeon's hit original animation (NickToon) lineup vaulted "SpongeBob SquarePants" and the new "Sanjay and Craig" into the top two spots, respectively, on all TV with kids this week!
Original Nickelodeon Press Release:
NICK’S NEW SANJAY AND CRAIG, SpongeBob SQUAREPANTS TOP ALL TV WITH KIDS
Net Lands Week’s Top Preschool Series -- Bubble Guppies and Peter Rabbit
NEW YORK–June 4, 2013 – Nickelodeon's hit animation lineup vaulted SpongeBob SquarePants and the new Sanjay and Craig into the top two spots, respectively, on all TV with kids this week. Number-one SpongeBob SquarePants averaged a 5.3/1.7 million K2-11 and 3.5 million total viewers; and Sanjay and Craig in its second week averaged a 5.1/1.7 million K2-11 (up +16% over last year’s like time period) and 3.1 million total viewers (up +8%). Nickelodeon also landed TV’s top two preschool series this week: Bubble Guppies, which again was the number-one preschool series; and Peter Rabbit, which ranked at number two.
Nick’s newest hit Sanjay and Craig also had a strong showing among kids 6-11, where it ranked as the number-one animated program with that demo, averaging a 5.5/1.1 million (up +34% over last year’s like time period). Sanjay and Craig follows the adventures of Sanjay, an excitable and irreverent 12-year-old boy (Maulik Pancholy, 30 Rock) and Craig, a smooth-talking snake and master of disguise (Chris Hardwick, Nerdist, The Talking Dead). Together, they embark on epic kid-inspired quests that are at times totally ridiculous, absolutely gross and weirdly sweet. The series airs Saturday mornings at 10:30 a.m. (ET/PT).
Additionally, Nick's hit preschool series Bubble Guppies was the top preschool program for the week, averaging a 5.9/801,000 K2-5, followed by Peter Rabbit, which averaged a 5.6/753,000 K2-5.
Nickelodeon also marked its 19th consecutive week of year-over year gains, posting a 2.7/899,000, up +4% among kids 2-11, and averaging 1.7 million total viewers.

Virgin Media Adds Live Streams Of Nickelodeon UK And Nick Jr. UK To Mobile Version Of Virgin TV Anywhere Streaming Service
Virgin Media has today (Tuesday 4th June 2013) announced in the following press release, from 4-Traders, that the UK cable operator has added Nickelodeon UK, Nick Jr. UK and MTV UK to the mobile version of the company's Virgin TV Anywhere streaming service. Previously only available to watch through computers, the Viacom International Media Networks channels are now also available for Virgin Media customers to stream on mobile devices, including computers, tablets and smartphones, similar to BSkyB's Sky Go IPTV service:
Virgin Media Inc. : Virgin TV Anywhere gains eleven dazzling channelsAlso, from The Next Web:
* Watch Corrie on the go with newly-added ITV channels
* HISTORY® and Bio® channels among latest to join line-up
* Total live and On Demand channels upped to 75
Virgin Media has added 11 new live channels to Virgin TV Anywhere, its award-winning1 cloud-based entertainment service available exclusively to Virgin TV customers.
The new array of live channels - including channels from ITV, A&E Networks UK and Viacom International Media Networks2 - enables Virgin Media subscribers to take their home entertainment beyond the TV to devices such as computers, tablets and smartphones at no extra cost.
The introduction of ITV, ITV 2, ITV 3 and ITV 4 to the service means customers need never miss an episode of Coronation Street and can watch everything from The Americans and Britain's Got Talent to The Jeremy Kyle Show and even live sport while they're on the move.
American Pickers and Mud Men on HISTORY will keep those with a hankering for history entertained while Bio programmes I Survived… and Dance Moms inspire viewers with extraordinary true-life tales.
Content from Viacom now available to stream via tablet includes MTV's ever-popular Geordie Shore as well as enduring animated favourites such as Nickelodeon's Sponge Bob Square Pants and Nick Jr's Dora the Explorer.
The new channels join the collection of entertainment, news, documentaries, music and even premium sport and movies channels already available on Virgin TV Anywhere3.
Virgin TV customers can access Virgin TV Anywhere through the web or, for the 1.5 million customers with Virgin Media TiVo®, through a mobile and tablet app.
Scott Kewley, Virgin Media's multiscreen product director, said: "The latest channels to join Virgin TV Anywhere are brimming with top soaps, documentaries and comedy and follow hot on the heels of the 21 channels we added to the service in April. With an ever-expanding array of programmes available that cater for every taste, customers will never be stuck for something to watch, catching their favourite shows and discovering new ones in ways not offered on rival platforms. When paired with a Virgin Media TiVo box, we believe TV Anywhere offers our best, most interactive entertainment experience yet."
The online service is available to all Virgin TV customers, with extra features for TiVo users to manage their boxes through a range of exclusive tools such as remote record and managing 'My Shows'.
The mobile and tablet app is available on iOS devices such as the iPad and will be coming to Android devices later this year. The app offers the ability to manage TiVo boxes including scheduling recordings and deleting shows. It also acts as a touch/gesture-based remote control when at home which means viewers can search for whatever they want using a full QWERTY keyboard and without taking over the big screen. They can flick any live TV show or recording straight to the TV and even immediately start watching something On Demand from any point without the need to fast-forward or rewind4.

About Virgin Media
Virgin Media is the first provider of all four broadband, TV, mobile phone and home phone services in the UK.
The company delivers ultrafast broadband connections to over half of all UK homes, with speeds of up to 120Mb, and is expanding this cable network - the result of a multi-billion pound investment - to reach thousands more people across the country.
Virgin Media has developed the most advanced interactive television service, bringing together broadcast TV, thousands of hours of on demand programming and the best of the web in a single set-top box powered by TiVo. The company was the first to offer HD TV and 3D on demand to millions of UK households.
Virgin Media also operates the most popular virtual mobile network in the UK which, when launched, was the world's first such mobile phone service. It is also one of the largest fixed-line home phone providers in the country.
Virgin Media Inc. is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market and the London Stock Exchange (VMED).
Virgin adds 8 new channels to its UK TV Anywhere service including ITV, and brings 3 more to mobileAlso, from Broadcast:
UK cable TV company Virgin Media has added 8 completely new channels to its online Virgin TV Anywhere service, and made 3 additional ones available for mobile users, bringing its total ‘live’ and ‘on-demand’ channel count to 75.
The new channel additions include ITV, ITV 2, ITV 3 and ITV 4, and are the latest terrestrial channels to be added after Channel 4 and Channel 5. Indeed, while BBC Worldwide is part of the offering (on-demand only), the main BBC channels have yet to be added.
Virgin TV Anywhere launched last November to rival BSkyB’s Sky Go service, serving up online and mobile access to TV shows and movies on the move – though it only supports WiFi connections. It launched with more than 40 channels initially, though it added another 21 to the mix in April this year.
The other new additions are: Bio, the Crime & Investigation Network (CI), History and History 2 (H2). While MTV, Nick Jr. and Nickelodeon were previously available through computers only, they are now also available to stream on mobile.
Virgin TV Anywhere is available via the Web for any customer, though only those on Virgin Media TiVo are able to access the service via their smartphone or tablet.
BSkyB (Sky) and Virgin are the main competitors for the UK subscription TV market. Sky launched its Sky Go service back in July 2011, after merging its existing Sky Player and Sky Mobile TV services. Initially it was only available on iOS in terms of mobile, though it finally hit Android in early 2012. Though Virgin is available through iOS devices, it has yet to land on Android – though this should be remedied later this year.
Virgin Media bulks up streaming service
Virgin Media has added a further 11 live channels including ITV and Viacom’s bouquet of channels to its Virgin TV Anywhere streaming service.
The move means that customers of the cable platform can now watch 75 channels on the cloud-based entertainment service, which is available on devices including computers, tablets and smartphones.
This comes on the back of a deal to add 21 channels to the service in April.
Virgin struck the agreement with ITV, A+E Networks UK and Viacom International Media Networks to add channels including ITV, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4, History, Bio, Crime & Investigation Network, H2, MTV, Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.
Scott Kewley, Virgin Media’s multiscreen product director, said: “With an ever-expanding array of programmes available that cater for every taste, customers will never be stuck for something to watch, catching their favourite shows and discovering new ones in ways not offered on rival platforms.
When paired with a Virgin Media TiVo box, we believe TV Anywhere offers our best, most interactive entertainment experience yet.”
