Episode 21 | My Dad The Rock Star | KEEP IT WEIRD



EPISODE 21 - KING OF THE DESERT

Rather than cancel the band field trip to a Jazz festival when the school bus falls apart, Willy convinces Rock and Skunk to chaperone the trip on the Zilla tour bus. When the tour bus breaks down in the middle of the desert, the band class separates into two warring factions -- one led by Rock, the other by Coach Fettle. When a mysterious stranger arrives to help rescue our heroes, things quickly turn sour, and Willy and his bandmates learn that teamwork may be their only chance. Back at the Zilla mansion, Serenity and Crystal use Rock’s absence as an excuse to discard an offensive lucky concert shirt – a feat that turns out to be much harder than expected.

Nutz Productions set to shoot Sky, a new adventure tween drama series by the creator of Greenhouse Academy

JANUARY 16, 2020

Filming on Sky (2 seasons, 20x22’ – Nutz Productions), a new adventure drama from the creator and producers of Nickelodeon Israel's The Greenhouse and Netflix's Greenhouse Academy– Giora Chamizer and Nutz Productions – together with writer Noa Pnini, will begin in February 2020 on various locations sites all over Israel.

Sky tells the story of a smart and assertive alien girl with the same name, whose spaceship accidentally crashes in a small town on earth. While waiting to be rescued, she hides by transforming herself into the body of the most popular girl in high school. With only three goofy friends to help her out, Sky must survive two weeks on earth without being discovered. Alongside the suspenseful dramatic plot, the general air of the show is whimsical and funny.

Sky is set to air on TeenNick Israel, the Nickelodeon-branded tweens-and-teens channel that launched in 2017, via the Hot Cable Network and Yes Satellite network. A premiere date has yet to be announced.

Giora Chamizer is responsible for some of the most successful young-adult TV Dramas in Israel. He has created and written several hit teen dramas, among them the popular show Hahamama (The Greenhouse). The series, produced by Nutz Productions and aired on Nickelodeon Israel, was voted best teen show by the Israeli Academy of Film and Television. Netflix later remade it under the title The Greenhouse Academy, with Chamizer acting as the series' showrunner and Nutz Productions producing all seasons in Israel. The American adaptation was launched successfully in over 190 countries, and a third season aired in October this year. Season 4 is set to launch in 2020. Chamizer is also responsible for The Hood, which debuted on Nickelodeon in Israel and has also been sold to the Portuguese RTP2 channel, which premiered the series in 2016 under the title O Bairro.

Noa Pnini is a screenwriter and actor. In recent years Pnini has collaborated with Giora Chamizter on various TV projects, among them The Hood, The Greenhouse, House Arrest and Foxes.

Nutz Productions is the subsidiary production arm of Ananey Communications Group.

Nutz Productions, the subsidiary production arm of Ananey Communications Group, is currently in the midst of producing Spyders (formally titled The Covurts), the first original co-production between Nickelodeon International and the Israeli production studio — together with Israeli cable network HOT.

Spyders focuses on Anna and Noah Fisher, highly highly skilled undercover agents who work for a ECCO – Environmental Counter Crime Organization, and are tasked with fighting criminals who endanger nature or the environment. Little do they know that their three kids – Daniel (16), Nikki (15) and Tommy (12) – have discovered their secret occupation and have formed a task force of their own, named Spyders.

Nickelodeon has ordered 40 x 22-minute episodes, which will be distributed to Nickelodeon's international audiences spanning 170+ countries and territories via the brand’s more than 100 channels and branded blocks in 2020.

Ananey Communications Group represents the Viacom brands Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Teen Nick, MTV and Comedy Central in Israel.

Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Share Secrets of The Sewer, Ninja Tactics and Teamwork at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta

Turtle Power! Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ Share Secrets of the Sewer, Ninja Tactics and Teamwork at Children’s Museum of Atlanta

Limited-time exhibits opens Jan. 18 – May 10, 2020

Atlanta, Georgia – After more than three decades of battling evil and exemplifying teamwork, the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) will appear in an exhibit for children and families to enjoy at Children’s Museum of Atlanta. The four funny “heroes in a half shell” will share life lessons and team-building skills with their crime-fighting tactics in Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer™ opening Jan. 18, 2020 in Atlanta.

In the exhibit, families will be transported to the underground home of the crime-fighting heroes to see what really happens in their secret hideaway. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brothers Leonardo (the tactical, courageous leader in blue), Michelangelo (the free-spirited jokester in orange), Raphael (the aggressive tough guy in red) and Donatello (the scientist and technological genius in purple) invite families to their New York City sewer lair to train together and learn about the Turtles’ comedic, skillful strategies.

“Children and families will be transported when exploring this larger-than-life exhibit,” said Jane Turner, executive director of Children’s Museum of Atlanta. “Little ones will have the opportunity to learn about the value of team work and togetherness as they discover how each member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles plays a pivotal role in the group’s accomplishments.”


The Turtles are known and respected for their teamwork. As the TMNT’s sensei and adoptive father Splinter often tells them, “Together there is nothing you cannot accomplish.” Through team-building challenges, collaborative games and mind-teasing puzzles, families and friends will learn skills to help them successfully work together. A few examples include:

• Building a “bridge” together and thinking creatively as a team to overcome challenges.

• Pizza Shooter Arcade: Using a ninja-powered pizza shooter, families will work together to load, then pull back and fling pizza disks at arcade style targets in the windows of a NYC apartment block. Successful shots will trigger bells or other sound effects.

• Back Alley Rope Maze: Families will work together to navigate a rope maze without triggering alarms. It takes dexterity, skill, and assistance from other team members to get everyone through the maze by planning ahead.

• Mikey’s Pizza Grabbing Game: Mikey had an awesome idea – what if we combine fun, pizza and lightning-quick ninja speed?? This competitive dexterity-based reaction time game will encourage family team members to go head to head and test their reflexes, as they follow patterned lights and sound effects.

• Sewer Pipe Assembly: A free-form construction activity using sewer pipes (PVC) to build shapes, arches, or tunnels to add to the Lair. Families can create a sewer pipe together and see where it goes.

The Turtles took the comic book world by storm in 1984—and since then Donnie, Raph, Leo and Mikey have brought Turtle Power to cartoons, movies, video games and toys!

Children and families across the nation will have the opportunity to explore Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer™ as it travels to children’s museums and science centers coast to coast.

This exhibit was produced by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and Nickelodeon.


The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis' first-ever interactive exhibit featuring the adorable puppy heroes of Nickelodeon and Spin Master's PAW Patrol is slated to visit the The Children’s Museum of Atlanta during Fall 2022.

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is a nonprofit institution committed to creating extraordinary family learning experiences across the arts, sciences and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families.

From MDJOnline.com:

The Children's Museum of Atlanta is bringing the Ninja Turtles''Secrets of the Sewer' to town

Basketball great Michael Jordan had a unique perspective on the importance of teamwork.

"Talent wins games but teamwork and intelligence wins championships," he said.

That same level of teamwork and its results were a part of the message the comic book characters known as the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" practiced. It’s one of the important reasons this cartoon character brother quartet still captivates children, despite making their debut in 1984. The comic book has spawned multiple movies and TV shows.

Jane Turner, executive director of the Children's Museum of Atlanta, said in a news release that even after more than 35 years of battling evil and exemplifying teamwork, the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will appear in an exhibit for kids and families to enjoy at the museum Jan. 18 through May 10.

The four funny “heroes in a half shell” will share life lessons and team-building skills with their crime-fighting tactics in Nickelodeon’s "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Secrets of the Sewer" exhibition at the downtown museum.

In the exhibit, families will be transported to the turtles’ underground home to see what really happens in their secret hideaway.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brothers Leonardo, the tactical, courageous leader in blue; Michelangelo, the free-spirited jokester in orange: Raphael, the aggressive tough guy in red and Donatello, the scientist and technological genius in purple; will invite families to their New York City sewer lair at the museum to train together and learn about the turtles’ comedic, skillful strategies, Turner said.

“Children and families will be transported when exploring this larger-than-life exhibit,” she said. "Little ones will have the opportunity to learn about the value of teamwork and togetherness as they discover how each member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles plays a pivotal role in the group’s accomplishments.”

The turtles are known and respected for their teamwork. As their adoptive father, Splinter, often tells them, “Together there is nothing your four minds cannot accomplish.” Through team-building challenges, collaborative games and mind-teasing puzzles, families and friends will learn skills to help them successfully work on projects.

Some of those projects designed to teach teamwork include building a bridge together and thinking creatively as a team to overcome challenges, as well as working together to fling pizza disks at arcade-style targets using a ninja-powered pizza shooter.

This exhibit was produced by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and Nickelodeon. Tickets to the exhibition are included with general admission, which costs between $13.95 and $18.95 depending on the day and if bought online. Children under 12 months are admitted free.

1+1 Media Group, the distributor of Viacom's channels in Ukraine, has announced the exciting news that Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has submitted plans to the National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council of Ukraine to launch a localised Nicktoons channel in Ukraine! The news follows VIMN launching a localised Nicktoons channel in Russia in December 2018. VIMN has also submitted plans to launch a Paramount Pictures movie channel in the country.


NickToons Ukraine (Україна) will join VIMN's two other dedicated children's channels in the country: Nickelodeon Україна for kids aged 4-12 years old, which airs hit live-action and animated series; and Nick Jr. Україна, Nickelodeon's top-rated preschool channel for children aged 2-6 years. Nicktoons is aimed towards boys and girls aged 6-to-10 years. With this combination, Viacom offers the most engaging, fun and varied content for kids and adolescents - all day long, every day. It is thought that NickToons Україна will use Nicktoons' global feed, used by Nicktoons in Russia, Poland and Central and Eastern Europe, with a localised language track and advertisements.

When launched, Nicktoons Україна will air a wide range of programming from Nickelodeon's vast library of hit animated series, including Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob SquarePants (Губка Боб Квадратні Штани), Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Avatar: The Legend of Aang (Аватар: Легенда про Кору), Penguins of Madagascar (Пінгвіни Мадагаскару), 44 Cats, LEGO City Adventures, Sanjay and Craig, Welcome to the Wayne, The Adventures of Kid Danger, Breadwinners, and more.

Nicktoons can be viewed in more than 90 million homes in 27 countries worldwide, including in the USA, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Turkey, Hungary, Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.

«В КРУГУ ДРУЗЕЙ». КАК 1+1 MEDIA DISTRIBUTION ПРЕДСТАВИЛА ПРОВАЙДЕРАМ СВОЕ ОБНОВЛЕННОЕ ПОРТФОЛИО

Провайдеры узнали о новых телеканалах, которые вошли в новый дистрибуционный пакет телегруппы и получили свои награды за лояльность.


5 ноября 1+1 media провела мероприятие для провайдеров платного телевидения «Плюсы в кругу друзей», на котором представила обновленный пакет дистрибуции своих телеканалов. Были презентованные новые телеканалы, которые запускают партнеры группы – Film.UA Group и VIACOM. После чего прошла церемония награждения провайдеров-партнеров. Ее в холдинге проводят в третий раз. «Телекритика» предлагает ознакомится с деталями мероприятия.

За год портфолио 1+1 media distribution пополнилось тремя каналами и теперь составляет 26 вещателей, начал Андрей Мальчевский, директор департамента дистрибуции и развития сети вещания 1+1 media. 13 из них будут доступны для просмотра в HD-версиях. По прогнозам группы, все эти телеканалы вместе в начале следующего года сгенерируют до 30% общего телесмотрения в системах платного ТВ, каналы занимают все основные тематические ниши. Были добавлены два телеканала производства Film.UA Group – киносериальный FilmUADrama и кулинарный «КУС-КУС». Дистрибуция FilmUADrama переходит к «Плюсам» с 1 января следующего года (сейчас канал находится на дистрибуции у «Виа медиа» – структурном подразделении «Воли»). «КУС-КУС» после успешного получения спутниковой лицензии, в первых числах этого месяца начал свое тестовое вещание (канал ведет вещание на спутнике Astra 4A через аплинк «Плюсов», доступен пока что в открытом режиме).

«Каждый год, когда мы встречаемся на нашем мероприятии и всевозможных ивентах, мы всегда берем какие-то обязательства, чтобы вы били заинтригованы в появлении нового продукта. В прошлом году мы пообещали, что будет как минимум 23 телеканала в нашем дистрибуционном портфолио, но мы перевыполнили план. В этом году вы получите 26 телеканалов», — сообщил Андрей Мальчевский.

В видеопрезентации телеканалов 1+1 media главный акцент был сделан на продукт собственного производства, развитие которого, по словам Андрея Мальчевского, стало возможно благодаря развитию платной дистрибуции каналов холдинга. Общенациональный украиноязычный телеканал «1+1» смотрит ежемесячно 29 миллионов зрителей, вещатель этой осенью перешел в HD-качество. Среди контента телеканала упоминались: «Сніданок з 1+1», ТСН, «Голос страны», «Голос. Дети», «Танцы со звездами», собственное сериальное производство, трансляция современного украинского кино.

Телеканал «2+2» входит в топ-5 по мужской аудитории, вещатель будет в дальнейшем объединять художественные фильмы, собственные детективные сериалы, новости («Спецкор», «Джедаи»), тематические программы («Загублений світ», «ПроФутбол») и футбольные трансляции.

ТЕТ был презентован как лучший развлекательный телеканал за последние два года по версии индустриальной премии Big Data Awards. Ежемесячно вещатель смотрит 25 миллионов человек, главные хиты канала – скетчком «Одного разу під Полтавою», «Країна У», «Королі палат», реалити «Супержінка» и «Панянка-селянка».

«ПлюсПлюс» был презентован как абсолютный лидер среди каналов для детей с 2015-го года. Канал будет показывать отечественную и заграничную анимацию, а также собственные познавательные программы для детей и их родителей. Последние рекомендованные для просмотра Министерством образования и науки. «Бигуди» — женский сериальные телеканал (докудрама «Семейные мелодрамы», индийский сериал «Я говорю «да»», турецкие «Моя чужая жизнь» и «Вторая свадьба»).

«Униан ТВ» — это все самые популярные программы группы на одном канале. Охват канала – 7 миллионов зрителей ежемесячно. На канале есть аналитические, развлекательные программы, документальные фильмы, популярные футбольные матчи Чемпионата Украины и Лиги Европы.

Дистрибуция пакета телеканалов VIACOM остается за «Плюсами» — группы продлили сотрудничество на 6 лет, рассказала Катерина Зубакина, менеджер департамента дистрибуции и развития сети вещания 1+1 media.

VIACOM планирует адаптировать в Украине два международных вещателя холдинга: семейный киносериальный и детский анимационный телеканалы. Документы для регистрации телеканалов в список адаптированных телеканалов сейчас находятся в Нацсовете по вопросам телевидения и радиовещания. Первый канал будет транслировать голливудские фильмы студии Paramount Pictures (входит в VIACOM), второй канал станет «средним братом» каналов Nickelodeon и Nick Jr. Вещатель рассчитан на детей от 6 до 10 лет, которые выросли на канале Nick Jr и в дальнейшем станут зрителями Nickelodeon. Название телеканалов в холдинге озвучат только после регистрации в адаптированном списке иностранных телеканалов. Приметно, что юридическими вопросами адаптации новых телеканалов по соглашению с VIACOM занимается не юристы «Плюсов», а сторонняя киевская юридическая компания. По информации «Телекритики», документы на адаптацию этих каналов были поданы три месяца назад. Причины затягивания данного вопроса не известны.

Телеканалы Film.UA Group представлял директор PayTV-направления Film.UA Нариман Гусейнов.

Он презентовал новый вещатель — «Кус-кус» и рассказал об изменениях в эфире трех других каналов холдинга — «36,6 TV», FilmUADrama и Bolt (совместный канал с группой компаний StarMedia).

Телеканал «Кус-кус» группа разрабатывала последний год, заняв кулинарную нишу, которая до этого была представлена отдельными слотами на больших каналах. В следующем году канал покажет 256 часов премьерного контента, разбитых по 5 часов премьер в неделю. Главными звездами вещателя были названы британский ресторатор Джейми Оливер, испанский мишленовский шеф-повар Анхель Леон, украинский ресторатор, звезда «МастерШефа» Евгений Клопотенко и экс-ведущая «Зважених та щасливих» Мирослава Ульянина. В эфире «Кус-кус» будет ряд закупленных западных кулинарных программ, а также программ собственного производства («Божественно смачно», «Вегано-кулігано», «Смачний сад», «Цікава кава» (документальная программа о баристах)); свою программу о кулинарии будет также вести ресторатор Валерий Созановский (сын владельца FILM.UA Сергея Созановского).

Телеканал о здоровом образе жизни «36,6 TV» несколько изменил свою программную сетку: «В этом году мы прислушались к мнению нашего дистрибутора, нашего зрителя и «привели» самых известных, титулованных людей, которые связаны с энергией жизни, фитнесом, воспитанием. Например, Оксана Оробец — известная тем, что является 4-кратной чемпионкой всего, что касается фитнеса; заместитель ассоциации диетологов Оксана Скиталинская. Эти люди привлечены ведущими и экспертами нового канала. Второе, к чему мы прислушались, относится к наполнению закупного контента. Мы закупили программы о медицине и здоровье. Например, болезнь Альцгеймера, сердечные болезни – все то, что касается медицины». В эфире канала также будет по 5 часов премьер в неделю.

На канале Bolt с августа по декабрь этого года будет в общей сложности 200 часов премьерного контента, в следующем году канал покажет 300 часов премьерного контента (6 часов в неделю). FilmUADrama был назван Нариманом украинским вариантом канала Fox. Канал в 2020-м покажет от 200 до 250 часов нового контента (около 5 часов в неделю). Он акцентировал на медицинских сериалах, которые уже идут в эфире канала – «Женский доктор» (1-3 сезоны), «Дежурный врач» (снимается 6 и 7 сезоны). Среди сериалов из социальной составляющей канал готовит к показу сериал о работниках почты «Почта» (премьерный показ был в сентябре-октябре на канале «Украина»); вещатель покажет также молодежный сериал «Новенькая» (после показа в декабре на «Новом канале»). Собственного контента у группы хватает, поскольку в год Film.UA всего производит 600 часов разножанрового контента.

Телеканалы группы StarMedia (Star Cinema и Star Family) представлял Алексей Шульдешов, генеральный продюсер ТВ-каналов группы.

На канале Star Cinema выйдет вторая часть сериала «По законам военного времени», детективная драма «Анна-детективъ». На канале Star Family будет показано два сезона сериала «Турецкие сладости», детективный сериал «Что делает твоя жена». В следующем году на каналах будет обновление контента на 300 часов (по отдельности).

Максим Кравчук, руководитель отдела ТВ-решений COSMONOVA|NET презентовал Play out собственной разработки компании COSMO Play out (позволяет управлять контентом, формирующим эфир телеканала).

Также Максим напомнил, что компания предлагает услуги по доставке сигнала телеканалов провайдерам, ОТТ-платформам; провайдерам компания предлагает услуги по ОТТ, стримингу трансляций телеканалов, стримингу событий (в том числе со сьемкой событий), а также по предоставлению архива телеканалов (timeshift/catchup).

Напоследок прошла церемония награждения провайдеров – лауреатов премии «Ориентир на ценности». Ведущим церемонии был Юрий Горбунов. В этом году «Плюсы» в основном решили отметить провайдеров из регионов.

В номинации «Первый контракт 2020» победил провайдер «Ланет». Компания подписала контракты на 25 телеканалов дистрибуционного портфолио «Плюсов». В номинации «Смелость» победа досталось ОТТ-сервису SweetTV как самому динамически растущему в этом году оператору. Победителем номинации «Ответственность» стала кропивницкая компания «Шторм». В номинации «Открытость и честность» победа досталась провайдеру «Зурбаган» из Конотопа Сумской области, представитель которого поблагодарил «Плюсам» словами «самый жесткий дистрибутор, но самый лучший контент». Победитель номинации «Уважение и любовь» — провайдер Т.В.Р. с Рубежного Луганской области, а номинации «Проверено годами» — полтавская компания «Гок». Ассоциацией года стала Ассоциация правообладателей и поставщиков контента (АППК). Глава ассоциации – Наталья Клитная, получила сертификат на отдых в Буковели на общую сумму 20 тысяч гривен. Провайдером года стала группа компаний «Триолан».

Также номинации для провайдеров подготовили партнеры «Плюсов». COSMONOVA|NET сделала KiviTV победителем номинации «Технологический прорыв года»; «Квартал ТВ» назвал провайдером года ОТТ-сервис Oll.TV; Film.UA – ивано-франковскую компанию «Дискавери», а StarMedia – «Волю».

НАЦСОВЕТ АДАПТИРОВАЛ NICKTOONS И «ЗАПРЕТИЛ» НЕСУЩЕСТВУЮЩИЙ 7 ЛЕТ РОССИЙСКИЙ ТЕЛЕКАНАЛ

Главная Новости Нацсовет адаптировал NickToons и «запретил» несуществующий 7 лет российский телеканал
Американский телехолдинг Viacom разрешил с Нацсоветом вопрос адаптации своих анимационных телеканалов.

Национальный совет по вопросам телевидения и радиовещания 16 января адаптировал новый анимационный телеканал NickToons из группы Viacom и позволил откорректировать информацию по лицензии другому телеканалу группы – Nickelodeon. Также регулятор исключил из адаптированного списка иностранных телеканалов российский вещатель «Tеле 9», поскольку телеканал остановил вещание в 2013-м. Соответствующие изменения были внесены в Перечень иностранных телеканалов, содержание которых отвечает требованиям Европейской конвенции о трансграничном телевидении и законодательству Украины.

Телеканал Nickelodeon изменил страну-правообладателя – вместо Нидерландов указал Чехию, язык программы изменилась с русского на английский и русский. Кроме того, объединены две строки, в которых указаны разные стандарты технического качества этой программы – одновременная трансляция в форматах HD и SD. Соответствующее заявление регулятор получил от компании из группы Viacom (ранее Viacom отдельно адаптировал телеканал в версиях HD и SD, поскольку эти версии отличались разным наполнением).

Новый анимационный телеканал NickToons указал страной регистрации Чехию. Это детский спутниковый телеканал, ориентированный на американскую и международную анимационную продукцию. Объем вещания – 24 часа в сутки, язык программ – русский.

Отметим, в ноябре член Нацсовета Сергей Костинский пытался запретить анимационные телеканалы Viacom, поскольку в его понимании они являются якобы российскими телеканалами. На анимационные телеканалы Viacom пожаловалась украинская компания Vianet Рудольфа Кирноса – правообладателя анимационных телеканалов NIKI Kids и NIKI Junior, у которых осенью 2017-го возник конфликт с Viacom из-за схожести названий. Компания Vianet предоставила Нацсовету данные относительно устаревшей информации по заграничным лицензиям адаптированных анимационных телеканалов Viacom. Тогда ведомство отложило рассмотрение вопроса на месяц. На заседании 16 января Сергей Костинский назвал коммуникацию с Viacom «очень качественной». Также он отказал в желании высказаться относительно вопроса адаптации телеканалов представительнице Viacom.

Ранее сообщалось, что Viacom планирует адаптировать в Украине два новых вещателя: семейный киносериальный телеканал и детский анимационный, заявки на адаптацию были поданы летом 2019-го. Вопросом адаптации занималась местная юридическая компания по соглашению с телехолдингом. Причины затягивания вопроса внесения каналов в адаптированный список не сообщались. В нише семейного киносериального канала группы работает Paramount Channel, в портфолио детских каналов группы кроме Nickelodeon и Nick Jr есть телеканалы Nicktoons, Nick at Nite и TeenNick. Вопрос адаптации Paramount Channel не рассматривался Нацсоветом. Телеканалы Viacom в Украине входят в портфолио 1+1 media distribution.

Российский телеканал «Tеле 9» был адаптирован Нацсоветом 21 апреля 2010 года. При проведении мониторинга пакетов программных услуг провайдеров, регулятор не зафиксировал данный телеканал. По информации с официального сайта Роскомнадзора в перечне зарегистрированных СМИ указано, что этот телеканал прекратил свою деятельность 22 февраля 2013 по решению учредителей правообладателя – ООО «Сервинком плюс». Это стало основанием для изъятия Нацсоветом телеканала «Теле 9» из адаптированного списка. Почему регулятор заметил закрытие телеканала спустя 7 лет, не уведомлялось.

Нацсовет внес изменения по трем телеканалам в Реестр разрешенных иностранных вещателей

Национальный совет по вопросам телевидения и радиовещания внес изменения в Перечень иностранных программ, содержание которых соответствует требованиям Европейской конвенции о трансграничном вещании и Законодательству Украины. Изменения касаются трех вещателей — Nickelodeon, «Tеле 9» и NickToons, сказано на сайте регулятора.

Сообщается, что у Nickelodeon была изменена страна-правовледелец — Чешская Республика вместо Нидерландов. Кроме того, были произведены изменения в программе вещания — язык с русского был изменен на украинский и английский.

Что касается «Tеле 9», телеканал был изъят Нацсоветом из Перечня разрешенных в Украине, поскольку, по информации «Роскомнадзора», данный телеканал прекратил свою работу еще в 2013 году.

В свою очередь NickToons, напротив, был внесен в Перечень иностранных программ. Отмечается, что это детский спутниковый канал, вещающий 24 часа в сутки на русском языке.

Gary Barlow joins forces with Paddington Bear for mega British new series

Paddington Bear and Gary Barlow fans – you’re in luck. The pair have joined forces for a new series and it’s just adorable. The Take That star has written and performed an adorable song for the opening credits, with the sequence taking us and everyone’s favourite bear around London. And it’s an absolute bop. The sweet bear is seen snacking on marmalade sandwiches as he waits for a train in the clip, as well as dancing through the parks of London, and floating away past Big Ben for the new Nick Jr series, The Adventures of Paddington Bear.

Basically, he’s loving life in the big city and we’re very here for it.

Ben Whishaw is reprising his role as the adorable bear, with Peppa Pig’s Morwenna Banks, Spy’s Darren Boyd, Dr Who’s Noel Clarke, Downton Abbey’s Phyllis Logan, and The League Of Gentlemen’s Reece Shearsmith also featuring in the series. Bobby Beynon and Sheena Bhattessa are also joining the cast, alongside Monica Lopera, Sabrina Newton-Fisher, David Schofield, Liz Sutherland-Lim and Jeremiah Waysome. Fans have got a little while to wait before the series airs, with it being released in March 2020, but it’s sure to be worth it.

It’s a good thing fans are getting their Paddington fix as a third animated movie could be a while away yet. After uncertainty from Ben, it was revealed that a third installment is in the works after the success of the first two – but director Paul King won’t be on board.

‘Paul is involved in it, I wanted him to be involved in it because I think he’s such a significant voice, but I don’t think he’ll direct it,’ producer David Heyman told Collider. ‘He worked on the idea… he comes up with the idea with Simon Farnaby and Mark Burton and then they develop it and come back for more, back and forth, and then it’ll get written and Paul will come in and stir it up a little bit. But he’s an incredible collaborator, Paul. Very positive, very supportive.’

Hey, we’re never going to say no to more Paddington. The Adventures of Paddington Bear will be released in March 2020 on Nick Jr.

Original post:

Nickelodeon USA will premiere the network's brand new animated series It's Pony on Saturday, Jan. 18! A pre-released episode will be available starting Wednesday, Dec. 25 on the Nick App, Nick On Demand, and YouTube.


It's Pony is an original 2D-animated buddy comedy that follows the life of an average girl, Annie, her (almost) average family and what happens when an excitable, unpredictable, loveable and talking pony comes to live with them in their city apartment. It's Pony is the first animated comedy series to be greenlit for the U.S. from Nickelodeon International. Created by Ant Blades, It's Pony (originally titled Pony) is based off a short of the same name from Nickelodeon’s 2015 International Animated Shorts Program. Nickelodeon greenlit the series for an initial 20-episodes in March 2018.


It's Pony follows Annie’s everyday life as a 9-year-old, from working at her parent’s city farm, located on their apartment balcony, homework, school friends and, most importantly, her friendship with Pony. Pony is Annie’s biggest cheerleader and best friend, although sometimes his optimism and enthusiasm lands the pair in unusual situations.

Ant Blades started his creative career writing and drawing for the cartoon strip Bewley. After his short stint as an animator, Blades worked for years in the digital creative industry before moving back to the animation field and setting up Birdbox, a studio that produces commercials, on-air spots and funny short films.


Nickelodeon’s International Animated Shorts Program is now a monthly themed outreach effort for original and funny content to fuel its dynamic development slate. Concepts for the program are received in all animation styles from 2D, digital 2D, stop motion, CG and mixed media. Finalists are provided with the necessary artistic and production support to help them complete their fully animated original, humor-based and character-driven short.

It's Pony is produced in London, UK by Blue Zoo, which has produced on-air presentation for Nick Jr. UK & Ireland, as well as series such as Nick Jr.'s Digby Dragon and Olive the Ostrich, and shows such as Miffy’s Adventures Big and Small and Q Pootle 5.

A Horse, Of Course! Ant Blades Talks His New Nick Show ‘It’s Pony’

***This article originally ran in the February ‘20 issue of Animation Magazine (No. 297)***


Who doesn’t want a fun, impulsive and always adventurous pony in their life? Annie (voiced by Jessica DiCicco), the bright-eyed girl in the center of Nickelodeon’s new animated series It’s Pony, certainly knows that her life is so much better with her best friend, Pony (Josh Zuckerman) — but it also makes it more complicated because they live in a city! The new show also features the voices of Abe Benrubi, India de Beaufort, Kal Penn, Bobby Moynihan, Rosario Dawson, Mark Feuerstein and Megan Hilty.

It’s Pony was created by animation veteran Ant Blades of London-based Birdbox Studio. “I was trying to think of a good idea for a series and wanted it to be relatable and simple,” he tells us. “I was looking for an idea that had scope for a lot of craziness, but also room for heart and charm. A girl trying to look after her pony in the city sprang to mind. Especially if it wasn’t that easy. How would you cope with a horse in an elevator?”


Blades came up with the first sketches for the pilot back in 2013 for Nickelodeon International Animated Shorts call out. “That seems like a long time ago now,” he notes. “It hasn’t been solid since then, though. Step by step to where it is now.

The 2D animated series is produced in London at Blue Zoo studio, home of Paddington, Numberblocks and Digby Dragon. A team of about 70 people work on the series, and the animators use Toon Boom Harmony to produce it. “The aim was to create a visually unique style to try and make it feel more hand drawn, to steer away from some more common styles and push towards something that felt more tactile and rough,” notes Blades. “Pony himself benefits from line work that’s more untidy and energetic.”

It’s Complicated!

The creator says he loves Pony, but he thinks the show is the most relatable when we, as viewers, are put into Annie’s shoes. “Pony’s a horse… of course, it’s not easy. I love them most, not when they’re acting like ‘best buds forever’, but when she’s pushing his nose out of her cereal.”

Before diving into the world of Annie and Pony, Blades had been directing ads, idents and shorts at Birdbox for the past nine years. “The work was varied and allowed me to jump from project to project, which keeps things interesting for me,” he says. “I’ve always enjoyed making shorts and, if possible, making people laugh. One of the biggest challenges for me is transforming from a short-form guy into a longer-form guy, and adapting to the schedules and teams that come along with that.”


Blades actually started off studying civil engineering, because he didn’t realize that animation could be a career. “I’d always loved comic strips and cartoons, but thought I should get a ‘proper’ job. While studying though, I managed to get a cartoon strip in a national paper and that gave the confidence that I should try cartooning and animation professionally. I watched a lot of TV cartoons, but what really inspired me was the world of comic strips. Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes was huge for me. I remember reading a friend’s collection and being totally lost in the world. And it’s such a lovely world.”

He says he also watched every animated movie he could find. “The first one that really got me was Pixar’s Monsters, Inc., which is still my favorite, and has a huge heart just like Calvin and Hobbes. So maybe that’s what gets me.”

Now that he has seen his clever idea come to animated life after so many years of work and development, we had to ask him to dispense some valuable advice, right? And of course, he obliges. “There are so many platforms out there to be noticed now,” says Blades. “If you love making things move, then try and regularly put stuff out there. Offering advice is hard! Work hard? Try and keep the passion? Step away at times, so you remember what you love about animation in the first place!”


It’s Pony premieres on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Saturday, January 18. The show will bow internationally in April.

From Kidscreen:

Why Nick is ponying up a new series

For its first animated production made outside of the US for global audiences, Nickelodeon turned to a more grounded series, says Nick's Nina Hahn.

Saddle up: Kids ongoing love of ponies, and a desire to tell more realistic stories convinced Nickelodeon to board the soon-to-premiere It’s Pony.

Launching on Nick globally on January 18, the 2D-animated comedy show tracks the adventures of Annie and her talking pony. Nick released the first episode of the 20 x 22 minute show on YouTube on December 26, and it has racked up more than 600,000 views.

Talking horse aside, series creator Ant Blades wanted to make a show that rejected the over-the-top fantasy of shows like Adventure Time in favor of something that could speak more directly to kids, he said. And this resonated with Nick, according to Nina Hahn, Nickelodeon’s SVP of international production and development. Kids watch Nickelodeon to think, laugh and feel, and It’s Pony meets those demands by focusing on issues important to the network’s core audience.

“We want our stories to start from a place that’s authentic and real, and we got that with the characters’ relationships,” says Hahn. “We want to reflect kids’ worlds visually, while also talking about friendship risk, parents, family, growing up and all the things that are core to our audience.”

Designed and animated by London studio Blue Zoo, the series was originally submitted as a short in Nickelodeon’s 2015 International Animated Shorts Program and then picked up in 2018 as a full show called Pony. It’s Pony marks the first time Nickelodeon has picked up an animated production made outside of the US for international broadcast, says Hahn. The comedy series’ grounded setting gave it international potential, Hahn.

“This show’s focus on friendship speaks to our global audience,” says Hahn. “When we were preparing this show for international viewers we only had to make small changes, like the color of a school bus, to be sure the setting would be relevant for kids everywhere.”

The show’s reach is also helped by the fact that one of the leads is a pony, and ponies are having a moment with a stable full of content. This includes Little Airplane Productions and redknot’s 52 x 11-minute series The Dog & Pony Show; Netflix’s upcoming feature film Thelma the Unicorn (about a pony who becomes a unicorn); and of course, Hasbro’s long-running My Little Pony franchise, which is launching the new My Little Pony: Pony Life series in 2020 on Discovery Family and Discovery Family GO.

“From the outset, It’s Pony had a long-term vision for a story that was real, and focused on a single relationship,” says Hahn. “A show might be funny, but every piece of content we look at has to have a story, character and creator attached to it that can make it into 20 episodes if we’re to pick it up, and this project had that.”

The award-winning playwright Rogelio Martinez has announced the exciting news that he recently wrote two scripts for an upcoming show on Nickelodeon! Little detail about which new Nick show the scripts are for is currently available.


Rogelio Martinez is an award-winning playwright whose plays have been workshopped and produced in theaters across the U.S. and abroad. He has just returned from Germany were a workshop of his play, Born In East Berlin, was performed at the Stasi Museum, Berlin in both English and German. The play is scheduled to be produced at the San Francisco Playhouse in February 2020.

Martinez’s play, Blind Date, was produced at the Goodman Theatre under the direction of Tony nominee Robert Falls. The play starred Tony Award winning actress Deanna Dunagan as Nancy Reagan. Her performance received a Joseph Jefferson Award nomination. Blind Date was awarded an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. This is the second time his work has received an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. Blind Date was one of only two plays awarded a Citation of Excellence by the Laurents / Hatcher Foundation.

Martinez is a recipient of a 2017 Guggenheim Fellowship. Martinez is also the winner of a Princess Grace Award, and a Mid-Career Fellowship at the Lark Theater Company. In the past he has received grants and awards from the New York Foundation for the Arts Grant, NEA/ TCG, and the James Hammerstein Award among others.

After being awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation New Science and Technology Initiative Grant by the Denver Center, Martinez went on to write When Tang Met Laika, a post Cold War space exploration play; which was subsequently produced by the Denver Center. This inspired Martinez to bring the Cold War itself on stage and write a three play cycle exploring the time period.

The first play in his Cold War trilogy is Ping Pong. The play is about U.S.-Chinese relations during the Nixon administration. It was presented at the Public Theatre as part of their Public Studio program and later published by Broadway Play Publishing.

Born in East Berlin, the second play, tackled the impact a Springsteen concert had on East Germans just prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The play was workshopped at the Atlantic Theater Company and has since been translated into Hungarian, Romanian, and German.

The trilogy’s conclusion is Blind Date. It was originally commissioned by the Denver Center Theater Company.

Martinez has been workshopped and commissioned by various theaters across the country including the Public Theater, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Mark Taper Forum, South Coast Repertory, Atlantic Theater Company, Arden Theater, Asolo Repertory, and Ojai Theater Company, and many more. His plays include Illuminating Veronica, Arrivals and Departures, and All Eyes and Ears (all published by Broadway Play Publishing). His newest play is Come As You Are, a play with music. The play was commissioned by Shadowcatcher Productions and has received several developmental workshops.

For several years Martinez was a member of the Dorothy Strelsin New American Writer’s Group at Primary Stages. He is an alumnus of New Dramatists.

As an advocate of the arts and an educator, Martinez has spoken before the Albany State legislature. He has worked with and mentored writers of all ages including high school kids. He teaches graduate level playwriting at Columbia University and undergraduate playwriting at NYU. In the summer of 2016, he travelled to Portugal where he taught a two-week playwriting workshop.

Martinez has been a guest editor for Clockworks Magazine. He was an actor in the film Exiles in New York, which played at the A.F.I Film Festival, South by South West, The Santa Barbara Film Festival and The Latin American International Film Festival in Havana, Cuba.

Martinez has written for children’s television and has just finished writing two scripts for an upcoming show on Nickelodeon.

Martinez has translated the work of both Mexican and Cuban playwrights.

Martinez was born in Sancti-Spiritus, Cuba and came to the U.S. on the Mariel boatlift in 1980.
