A post shared by Nick India (@nickindiaofficial) on Jun 22, 2020 at 6:51am PDT

Though country-wide lockdown has now been lifted, given the spike in COVID-19 (coronavirus) numbers, schools have still not resumed and kids are still enjoying an extended summer vacation. Thus, kids broadcasters like Nickelodeon and others have ordered new episodes and engaging content to keep kids occupied and entertained.

Produced by animation studio Cosmos-Maya and Viacom18, Shiva is one of the most popular television kids shows in India. It revolves around Shiva, a young boy who lives with his grandparents in a fictional city named Vedas in India. He has supernatural powers and fights a lot of villains who are harmful for his city. A policeman named Mr. Laddo Singh, who wants to catch the criminals but finds himself in trouble, is helped by Shiva. Shiva and his friends are always rewarded by the Indian Government for their bravery.

Na quarentena, cresce busca por provedores de internet regionais

Dados apontam que consumidor também passou a pesquisar mais pelo tema "TV por Assinatura"

O setor de provedores regionais de internet tem apresentado um crescimento constante nos últimos anos. Os dados da Anatel (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) mostram um salto de 2,45 milhões para 9,88 milhões de conexões, entre 2009 e 2019, passando a superar os gigantes do setor em número de assinantes de banda larga, porém, apenas durante os meses de fevereiro e março, as buscas na internet por provedores regionais cresceram 42,8%, de acordo com levantamento feito pelo site Melhor Plano.

A análise também apontou um aumento de 36% nas pesquisas por serviços de TV por Assinatura, demonstrando preferência do público em consumir regionalmente e aponta aos ISPs um campo a ser explorado no mercado, ao oferecer integração de TV aos seus clientes, uma maneira de entregar não apenas mais um serviço, mas também de fidelizar o público para que não precise migrar para uma empresa que ofereça TV e internet.

A mesma pesquisa também aponta para o crescimento da audiência individual de canais de TV por assinatura durante a pandemia. O consumo de canais de entretenimento, por exemplo, avançou 36% com atrações como reality-shows e programas infantis na liderança da audiência. Os canais da programadora Viacom, Comedy Central e Nickelodeon demonstraram um crescimento de 80% desde 16 março entre pessoas 18 a 49 anos.

A programação da Viacom pode alavancar os negócios dos ISPs brasileiros, levando não apenas a audiência dos canais, mas atrelando a força das marcas ao nome dos provedores regionais através da MultTv, líder nacional em compartilhamento de headend, sistema que diminui os custos com infraestrutura de TV por Assinatura.

Marcelo Pinheiro, diretor da NIPBR, operadora corporativa que passou a atender também o mercado residencial para comercializar TV por Assinatura, conta que atrelar ao ISP marcas de grandes programadoras como Band, CNN Brasil, Viacom gera ainda mais visibilidade aos negócios. “Ter incluído TV por assinatura com a MultTv facilitou muito os processos, é uma solução bem mais acessível e que me proporciona uma maneira de oferecer novos serviços e também de fidelizar meus clientes”, comenta Pinheiro.

Uma das principais vantagens em investir na estrutura de headend compartilhado é o investimento inicial. Enquanto uma operação individual varia entre R$2 a 4 milhões para a estrutura inicial, com o compartilhamento o investimento é de aproximadamente R$100 mil. Além disso, a MultTv leva aos ISPs uma capacitação completa para que equipes e a empresa torne-se multisserviços, oferecendo estrutura de qualidade, todo suporte e treinamento necessário.

“Nossos parceiros têm em média uma adesão de 15%, chegando a 30% em alguns casos, de planos de TV vendidos juntamente com a banda larga. A associação da marca do provedor com programadoras como Disney & ESPN e Viacom alavanca as vendas”, explica Osmir Henrique Petrini, presidente da MultTv.

Estima-se que até o fim do primeiro semestre de 2020 cerca de 40 provedores regionais de internet passem a oferecer o serviço de televisão por assinatura. Por meio do compartilhamento de headend, o produto chega a todo o Brasil com qualidade, por meio de satélite da empresa SES.

Nickelodeon Portugal Celebrates Record Ratings

Nickelodeon Portugal is celebrating record-breaking ratings after becoming the second most-watched children's channel in the country in May 2020 - and was very close to being number-one!

The high-ratings comes just a few months after Nickelodeon launched on the MEO and Vodafone platforms in Portugal. Prior to launching on MEO and Vodafone, Nickelodeon was exclusive to TV operator NOS in the country.

Nickelodeon Portugal saw a ratings increase of 36% over the previous month in May 2020, and 138% over the same period the previous year.

The Portuguese version of the number-one network for kids recorded a record audience share of 6.8% in May in the 4-to-14 year demographic. The top-rating kids channel in the country, Disney Channel scored 7%, falling one percentage point compared to the previous month.

Nickelodeon considers this ratings evolution to show that it has cemented its position in the kids' channel arena, buckling the trends other kids' channels in the country, which has seen ratings decrease.

Nickelodeon Portugal mainly saw a significant ratings increase during its prime,time (8pm-12am). According to GfK/CAEM data, Nickelodeon has been growing its audience share for three consecutive months, obtaining a 1.2% share in the first 22 days of June. In May, the average was 1.2%, and in April it had a 0.8% market share.

Ratings growth on the channel was driven by Nickelodeon's top-rated live-action series, including The Thundermans (24,700 viewers), iCarly (23,300 viewers) and Henry Danger (22,700 viewers).

"These figures confirm that we are on the right track and gives us encouragement to continue working hard on what we offer," said Nickelodeon.

"At Nickelodeon, we always put children first in everything we do and we always try to offer the best content to continue bringing joy and fun to Portuguese homes".

From Espalha-Factos:

Nickelodeon Portugal festeja recordes de audiência

Canal infanto-juvenil alcançou o segundo lugar no mês de maio

Pouco tempo após a sua chegada à Vodafone e MEO, o Nickelodeon está a bater recordes de audiência. O canal alcançou o segundo lugar entre os canais infanto-juvenis nacionais no mês de maio, muito próximo do primeiro classificado.

Com um crescimento de 36% face ao mês anterior, e de 138% em relação ao período homólogo do ano anterior, o Nickelodeon Portugal registou um share recorde de 6,8% em maio no target dos 4 aos 14 anos. O líder Disney Channel marcou 7%, e recuou um ponto percentual face ao mês anterior.

O canal considera que esta evolução demonstra que cimentou a sua posição neste segmento, contrariando os resultados dos canais do mesmo género, “que decresceram de forma generalizada“.

As audiências do canal melhoraram de forma significativa ao longo de todo o dia, especialmente durante o prime-time (20h-24h). No público em geral, de acordo com os dados da GfK/CAEM, o Nickelodeon está a crescer há três meses consecutivos, tendo obtido 1,2% de share nos primeiros 22 dias de junho. Em maio, a média foi de 1,2%, e em abril tinha sido de 0,8% de quota de mercado.

De acordo com os dados revelados em comunicado, as séries populares de live-action reuniram o maior número de espectadores do canal, como The Thundermans (24,7 mil espectadores), iCarly (23,3 mil espectadores) e Henry Danger (22,7 mil espectadores).

“Já o sabíamos quando demos os importantes passos de entrarmos em dois novos operadores portugueses e estes números vêm confirmar que estamos no caminho certo e dar-nos alento para continuarmos a trabalhar arduamente na nossa oferta”, afirmam.

“No Nickelodeon, colocamos as crianças sempre em primeiro lugar em tudo o que fazemos e procuramos sempre oferecer os melhores conteúdos para continuar a levar alegria e diversão aos lares portugueses”.
