"সমুদ্র শহর" নামে সমুদ্র তলদেশে এক আজব শহরে বসবাস স্পঞ্জববের। অদ্ভূত এক আনারস বাড়িতে থাকে সে। বোকা বলে কেউ তাকে খুব একটা আমলে নেয় না। তারপরও স্পঞ্জববের মন খারাপ হয় না। বন্ধু প্যাট্রিকের সাথে সব কিছুর ভেতর আনন্দ খুঁজে নেয় সে।

দেখবো দুরন্ত’র নতুন কার্টুন “স্পঞ্জবব স্কয়ারপ্যান্টস্‌”, ১৪ এপ্রিল থেকে প্রতিদিন, দুপুর ২ঃ৩০ মিনিটে ও রাত ৮ টায়।

In additional news, there are unconfirmed reports that México's TV Azteca has nabbed the broadcast rights to Bob Esponja from long-time rival Televisa, who has aired SpongeBob since 2002.

Since its launch in July 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has emerged as a pop culture phenomenon. The series has been the most-watched animated program with kids 2-11 for more than 15 consecutive years, and over the past several years, it has averaged more than 100,000,000 total viewers every quarter across all Nickelodeon networks. SpongeBob SquarePants is the most widely distributed property in Viacom International Media Networks history, seen in more than 208 countries and territories and translated in 55+ languages. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimistic and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. Among those friends are SpongeBob's best friend, a pink starfish named Patrick Star, his neighbor and co-worker octopus Squidward Tentacles, and Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from Texas.


SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg, who previously worked as a writer, director and creative director on Nickelodeon's animated series Rocko's Modern Life. Hillenburg graduated from the California Institute of the Arts with a master's degree in experimental animation and his undergraduate degree, from Humboldt State University, was in natural science with an emphasis in marine biology. Hillenburg executive produced the series until his untimely passing in November 2018. His first feature film, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, which debuted Nov. 19, 2004 and his second theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, hit theaters Feb. 6, 2015, landing at #1 opening weekend.

SpongeBob SquarePants has been renewed through to at least the show's twelfth season, will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2019, has its own critically acclaimed Broadway show, set to tour the U.S. from Fall 2019, and has a third upcoming movie, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, set to be released in Summer 2020. Nickelodeon also recently revealed plans to spin off the characters from SpongeBob SquarePants into their own stand-alone series, specials and feature-length movies. The series is produced at Nickelodeon in Burbank.

BURBANK, Calif.—March 20, 2019—Nickelodeon is pulling the ultimate April Fools’ Day prank when its brand-new unscripted series The Substitute premieres on Monday, April 1, at 2:00 p.m. (ET/PT). From the producers of Undercover Boss comes a new hidden camera show featuring celebrities who are transformed by a team of special effects artists to go undercover as substitute teachers, surprising classes of unsuspecting students.

The premiere episode guest stars Jace Norman (Henry Danger) as he goes undercover at Luther Burbank Middle School to prank students in a variety of subjects ranging from gym to science. Using full prosthetics and a fool-proof costume, a team of special effects artists transform Norman into a completely unrecognizable substitute teacher who is ready to give his students an unforgettable surprise. During the reveal, a $25,000 donation is made to the school. Additional episodes featuring different celebrities going undercover will be announced at a later date.

The premiere of The Substitute takes place during Nickelodeon’s April Fools’ Day marathon, with encore airings at 4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT).

The premiere of The Substitute coincides with the 40th anniversary of Nickelodeon, which launched on April 1, 1979.

Norman currently stars in Nickelodeon’s Henry Danger, the number-one live-action show on TV with Kids 2-11 and Kids 6-11, and the network’s longest-running live-action sitcom. Earlier this year he starred in his fifth role in a Nickelodeon TV movie, Bixler High Private Eye. He is also the co-founder of Creator Edge Media, an influencer marketing agency.

Nickelodeon USA will premiere The Substitute, the network's brand-new hidden camera prank show on Monday, April 1, 2019 (April Fools Day)!

In The Substitute, celebrities are transformed by a team of special effects artists to go undercover as substitute teachers to surprise a class of unsuspecting students. A $25,000 donation will be made to each school.

The series was announced as part of Nickelodeon's 2019 Upfront and forms part of the network's slate of new programming for the whole family.

Nick’s insights reveal that family time is the most important passion point for kids and parents today, with their top priority being to spend time together and look for opportunities through shared experiences. Today’s families state that watching TV together is their favorite activity, corresponding to the current 10-year high in co-viewing, where 44% of kids’ viewing is with an adult. To capture co-viewing opportunities, Nick is producing shows with built-in appeal to every family member, including: The Substitute, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader (reboot), Are You Afraid of the Dark? (revival miniseries) and All That (revival).

Viacom Launches Nicktoons Channel in Hungary and Romania

Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) will strengthen its portfolio in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region with the launch of a localised Nicktoons channel in Hungary in April 2019! NickToons Hungary (Magyarország) is slated to launch on the on the Magyar Telekom platform on Tuesday 2nd April 2019.


Update (4/2) - Nicktoons Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will premiere Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty (Szivárvány Pillangó Egyszarvú Cica) this summer!

Update (29/3): Nicktoons Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will also launch on UPC Magyarország in Hungary! It'll also be available on DIGI and Invitel!

Update (17/2): Nickelodeon has soft-launched NickToons Magyarország, ahead of its official launch in April 2019! As speculated, Nicktoons Magyarország is a simulcast of Nicktoons Poland (Polska) with a Hungarian soundtrack. The channel launched on Tuesday 12th February 2019 and currently broadcasts commercials in English, however, localised advertisements are expected to appear on the channel nearer its official launch. A Romanian soundtrack is also expected to be added in the future. Update (17/3): A Romanian soundtrack has now been added to the channel.

Update (20/2): The Hungary-based media sales house R-time will handle ad-sales for NickToons Magyarország!

NickToons Magyarország will join VIMN's two other dedicated children's channels in Hungary: Nickelodeon Magyarország (a version of Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe with a Hungarian soundtrack) for kids aged 4-12 years old, and Nick Jr. Magyarország (a version of Nick Jr. CEE with a Hungarian soundtrack) for children aged 2-6 years. Nicktoons is expected to be aimed towards boys and girls aged 6-to-10 years.

Although unconfirmed, it is thought that NickToons Magyarország will be a simulcast of Nicktoons Poland (Polska), which launched last year. The channel is already designed for international markets, and uses generic on-air design (including bumpers and idents). Nickelodeon commenced testing for a Hungarian version of Nicktoons on the channel during Autumn 2018 by transmitting episodes of Bunsen Is a Beast and SpongeBob SquarePants with a Hungarian audio track on the English audio channel, so it's highly likely this will be the Nicktoons channel that will become available in Hungary.

Acquired series include .


Nicktoons is currently available on multiple markets around the world, including in the USA, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Japan and Turkey.

The news follows Viacom launching the SVOD service Paramount+, featuring Nickelodeon programming in Hungary, and the launch of Nicktoons Russia (Россия) in December 2018.
