From Notícias da TV:

Nick escala Henry Danger e Bob Esponja para entreter crianças em quarentena

Para ajudar as crianças a lidarem com o isolamento social e a recomendação de quarentena por causa do novo coronavírus, a Nickelodeon escalou alguns de seus pesos-pesados, como Henry Danger e Bob Esponja, para a sua programação de abril. Entre as novidades, chega o primeiro spin-off de The Loud House, Os Casagrandes.

A animação derivada é a primeira estreia do mês: começa no dia 3, às 18h, com episódios novos toda sexta-feira no mesmo horário. Assim como Loud House, o desenho mostrará como é viver em uma casa muito, muito cheia. A principal diferença entre as duas é na composição das famílias.

Enquanto a série original retrata como Lincoln lida com o fato de ser o único filho homem ao lado de dez irmãs, Os Casagrandes vai mostrar Ronnie Anne (amiga de Lincoln) e Bobby (namorado de Lori) se mudando para a casa de sua grande família latina, com a mãe, os avós, dois tios, quatro primos e dois animais de estimação.

No dia seguinte (4), às 11h da manhã, mais uma estreia, o desenho britânico É o Pônei, que mostra como a pequena Annie tenta se adaptar com o fato de seus pais terem uma fazenda na sacada de um apartamento na cidade grande. Para a sorte da menina de nove anos, ela tem um pônei, com quem se mete em várias situações.

Quem prefere aventuras submarinas pode viajar até a Fenda do Biquíni e se divertir com novos episódios de Bob Esponja. O desenho completou 20 anos no ar em julho do ano passado, mas as celebrações continuam no dia 25, às 17h30, quando a Nick exibe uma maratona com quatro episódios inéditos.

Antes disso, para preparar os fãs, a esponja amarela também protagonizará o especial Melhor Romance de Todos os Tempos em 14 de abril, a partir das 15h. No aplicativo Nick Play, o jogo Spongebob Master Game terá interações com a programação do canal de segunda a sexta, às 16h.

Já o herói juvenil Henry Danger terá novos episódios durante todo o mês. A série, que mostra como o adolescente Henry (Jace Norman) se tornou aprendiz do super-herói Capitão Man (Cooper Barnes), chega ao fim na quinta temporada, mas ganhará um filhote, Danger Force, em breve. No Brasil, a saga de Kid Danger e seus amigos tem mais 12 episódios inéditos.

O canal infantojuvenil criou até uma hashtag, a #GaleraUnida, que será usada como parte de uma iniciativa global para incentivar as crianças e suas famílias a se manterem informadas e entretidas durante a pandemia. Os personagens também vão compartilhar ideias de atividades em casa e dicas saudáveis de higiene --veja abaixo um vídeo (em inglês) em que Bob Esponja ensina a lavar as mãos:

Annecy International Animation Film Festival has announced the films and TV projects that are part of its Official Selection and up for awards at this year’s (now digital) event! The festival and its accompanying market MIFA, scheduled for June 15 to 20 and June 16 to 19, respectively, have both been cancelled and moved online due to COVID-19.


Among this year's nominees is The Adventures of Paddington, which has been nominated in the "TV Films" category for the episode "Paddington and the Magic Trick"!

In the The Adventures of Paddington episode "Paddington and the Magic Trick", Mr. Gruber gives Paddington a box of magic tricks, but Paddington cannot master the tricks until he learns to practice, practice, practice.

The Adventures of Paddington gives a modern-day touch to the famous teddy bear, by evoking themes such as curiosity, empathy and the importance of a loving family. It will appeal to the young and old!

Original title: The Adventures of Paddington "Paddington and the Magic Trick"

Directed by: Adam SHAW
Country: United Kingdom
Year of production: 2019
Running time: 11 min × 52 episodes
Category: TV serie
Techniques used: 3D Computer
Process: Colour
Target public: Preschool
Credits:
Directed by: Adam SHAW
Production: HEYDAY FILMS, David HEYMAN, STUDIOCANAL, Karen DAVIDSEN, COPYRIGHTS GROUP, Simon QUINN
Distribution: STUDIOCANAL, Beatriz CAMPOS
Based on: "A Bear Called Paddington", Michael Bond
Voice: Ben Whishaw

More information about Annecy 2020 Online will be announced shortly, but it is set to include the market and meetings, with opportunities for people to build new partnerships, spot talent and launch new projects.

For the Official Selection, on the whole the 2020 group is “less serious, and funnier, than the previous few years,” according to Annecy’s artistic director Marcel Jean. Some of the lighter funnier options in the TV Films category include Ludo Studios and BBC Studios’ Bluey and Cartoon Network’s Summer Camp Island, and Nick Jr.'s Paddington.

Regarding the selected short form works, artistic director Marcel Jean noted:

"On the whole the 2020 Selection is less serious, and funnier, than the previous few years. We still find several films dealing with current themes, in particular ecology, migration and gender identity. Some films – Empty Places by Geoffroy de Crécy, The Physics of Sorrow by Theodore Ushev and Something to Remember by Niki Lindroth Von Bahr – even appear to anticipate the present situation.

We are particularly proud of the quality and variety of the Off-Limits selection, which testifies to the vitality of experimental approaches. In addition, six of the twelve films from this section were directed by women, which represents the level of equity that characterizes the selection in the diverse categories of the Short Films. We are also thrilled with the diverse countries where the selected films come from, there are works from Iceland, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Indonesia, countries that are rarely represented at Annecy.

The Graduation Films revealed a very high level of productions from the Lodz School in Poland, where three films from this educational institution were selected. Meanwhile the program destined for television indicate that this sector is going through a great era with so many audacious and ambitious productions targeted to diverse audiences."

The feature films and VR works Official Selection won’t be announced until mid-May.

The complete list of short form works in competition can be found here.

'The Kid Who Only Hit Homers' Nearly Became a Nickelodeon Project

$

ORLANDO, Fla. — One local man is breathing new life into his father’s famous baseball book, as The Kid Who Only Hit Homers becomes a feature film.


Dale Christopher, left, holds a copy of his father's book "The Kid Who Only Hit Homers" while on set for a new movie of the same name, along with his brother Duane Christopher, right, and Wayne Chesler, center, who helped bring this longtime project to fruition.

Dale Christopher, a longtime Wilton resident, and former Maple Avenue Middle School math teacher, has been on a mission to make this movie for more than a decade.

After years spent on this effort, The Kid Who Only Hit Homers was finally filmed in February near Orlando, Florida.

This baseball tale, written by Dale’s father, Matt Christopher, was originally published in 1972 and has sold more than one million copies. Of Matt’s more than 100 sports stories, some of which are still coming out as books today, The Kid Who Only Hit Homers is his most well-known.

“Dad’s life was writing,” Dale told The Record. “His passion was writing.”

While raising his family in the Finger Lakes region of New York, Matt’s debut sports novel The Lucky Baseball Bat was published in 1954.

Dozens more followed in the decades to come, all published through Little, Brown and Company.

Matt thoroughly enjoyed this hobby, which turned into a full-time career. However, his lifelong dream was to someday have one of his books made into a movie.

“That was always one of his dreams,” Dale said. “He just thought that would be the ultimate - which it is.”

Though Matt passed away in 1997, his books remain beloved by young readers, and his sons, Dale and Duane have continued pursuing their father’s dream of getting the stories on screen.

Helping them with this endeavor is producer Wayne Chesler, who contacted the Christophers and later turned The Kid Who Only Hit Homers into a screenplay all thanks to a request from his own young son.

For nearly 15 years, Chesler has been relentlessly working to find someone to fund this project. An agreement with Nickelodeon, unfortunately, fell through, but through a connection with former Nickelodeon Group president Cyma Zarghami, the movie is now being created by her latest venture MiMO Studio, a New York-based full-service production company set up create films for young audiences.

The Kid Who Only Hit Homers, one of Matt’s personal favorites, is about a young baseball player named Sylvester and his encounter with the mysterious Mr. Baruth. Overall, the book is about baseball, confidence, perseverance, and being a good teammate.

“It’s really quite a story,” Dale said, predicting that the movie version will be a hit with viewers.

Dale and his brother Duane, both executive producers of the film, were among the first to see their dad’s story in action when they watched The Kid Who Only Hit Homers being filmed earlier this year.

“We were on set for a couple of days, and it was just the most exciting thing that we’ve ever been to, I think,” said Dale, who is now retired and lives in Cambridge. “It was just so exciting to see dad’s booking coming to life right there in front of us.”

Dale particularly had fun working with the children on set. “The little boy that played Sylvester, he’s a super little boy and I can’t wait to see him on the big screen,” he said.

Some aspects of the story have been modernized, such as characters using metal bats instead of wooden ones, but the wholesome essence of Matt’s story is the same in the movie as in the original book.

The film, which is expected to be about an hourlong, is currently being edited as project leaders seek a buyer. “Hopefully that will happen in the next couple months,” Dale said, who is hopeful that this experience will lead to even more of Matt’s books becoming movies in the future.

Even though it took a long time to make it happen, Dale, along with lots of other Matt Christopher readers, look forward to the premiere of "The Kid Who Only Hit Homers."

He said, “It's just been an amazing journey.”

SpongeBob Wood Sculpture Spongenapped in Germany

A chainsaw artist in Kleinrückerswalde in Germany is appealing for the safe return of a wooden carving of SpongeBob SquarePants.


Thieves stole the wooden sculpture of Nickelodeon's beloved character from Christian Fritzsch's front garden, which the artist made just before Christmas. The model is one of a collection designed by Fritzsch to bring cheer to children and to make passersby smile. Another SpongeBob SquarePants-themed sculpture designed after SpongeBob's cranky neighbour Squidward Tentacles was left behind. Another statue is modelled after the famous alien E.T.

The news follows Fritzsch appealing to people to take the country's current curfews to help combat the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) more seriously.

Needless to say, the theft has left Fritzsch stunned.


"How can that be, you decorate your garden with wooden figures for children and to make people smile. This morning the doorbell rang, my grandchildren asked where SpongeBob had gone. I found out that it had been stolen overnight. Isn't it sad. I've invested so much time, there's nothing left to be happy about. I made it for my grandchildren because they watch cartoons with Grandpa. Today is the birthday of one of my grandchildren who first noticed that SpongeBob was missing, he was very sad. I would be happy if he could be back in his seat as soon as possible."


Even days later there is still no hot trace of the carving. Christian Fritzsch has not file a complaint with the police. Nevertheless, he hopes that his SpongeBob artwork will show up sooner or later.

There isn't the first time SpongeBob SquarePants has been involved in Spongenappings. In 2004, dozens of 9-foot-tall SpongeBob SquarePants balloons to celebrate the release of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie were stolen from the roofs of Burger Kings across the U.S.


From Freie Presse:

Langfinger greifen sich Spongebob aus Vorgarten

Kettensägen-Holzkünstler Christian Fritzsch ist fassungslos. Er hatte die Figur extra für seine Enkel angefertigt.

Kleinrückerswalde. Langfinger haben in der Nacht zu Karfreitag in Kleinrückerswalde im Vorgarten eines Mehrfamilienhauses das hölzerne Abbild der Nickelodeon-Serienfigur Spongebob entwendet. Den hatte der Kettensägen-Holz-Künstler Christian Fritzsch, der erst vor wenigen Tagen die Leute mit seinem E.T. aufforderte, die derzeitigen Ausgangssperren ernst zu nehmen und zu Hause zu bleiben, erst vor Weihnachten fertiggestellt. Die Figur Thaddäus des hölzernen Ensembles wurde zurückgelassen. Christian Fritzsch ist fassungslos: "Wie kann das sein, man verschönert seinen Garten mit Holzfiguren für Kinder und um Leute zum Schmunzeln zu bringen. Heute früh klingelte es an der Tür, meine Enkel fragen, wo der Spongebob hin sei. Da musste ich feststellen, dass er leider gestohlen wurde über Nacht. Ist es nicht traurig. Ich habe so viel Zeit investiert, es hat nichts mehr Ruhe. Vor allem habe ich es für meine Enkel gebastelt, weil sie viel mit Opa diese Trickfilme schauen. Heute hat jener meiner Enkel Geburtstag, dem es zuerst aufgefallen war, dass Spongebob fehlt, er war ganz traurig. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn er so schnell wie möglich wieder auf seinem Platz steht." (ritz)

From Freie Presse:

Wer hat Spongebob gesehen?

Die Holzfigur ist aus einem Vorgarten in Kleinrückerswalde verschwunden. Seitdem fehlt jede Spur von ihr.

Kleinrückerswalde. Langfinger haben über Ostern in Kleinrückerswalde im Vorgarten eines Mehrfamilienhauses das hölzerne Abbild der Nickelodeon-Serienfigur Spongebob gestohlen. Die Figur hatte der Kettensägen-Holz-Künstler Christian Fritzsch, der erst vor wenigen Tagen die Erzgebirger mit seinem E. T. aufforderte, die derzeitigen Ausgangssperren ernstzunehmen und zu Hause zu bleiben, erst vor Weihnachten fertiggestellt. Nur etwa drei Wochen stand Spongebob nun im Freien, bis Unbekannte ihn mitnahmen. Die Figur Thaddäus des hölzernen Ensembles wurde zurückgelassen.

Christian Fritzsch ist fassungslos: "Wie kann das sein? Man verschönert seinen Garten mit Holzfiguren für Kinder und um Leute zum Schmunzeln zu bringen." Und plötzlich fehlt etwas. Am Morgen des Karfreitags habe sein Enkel geklingelt und nach Spongebob gefragt. "Ist es nicht traurig? Ich habe so viel Zeit investiert, es hat nichts mehr Ruhe. Vor allem habe ich es für meine Enkel gebastelt, weil sie viel mit Opa diese Trickfilme schauen." Auch Tage später gibt es noch keine heiße Spur. Anzeige bei der Polizei hat Christian Fritzsch nicht erstattet. Dennoch hofft er, dass sein Spongebob früher oder später wieder auftaucht. (mit aed)

Karisma Hotels & Resorts shared some details today of the ways in which it’s working to support its employees, communities and at-home guests during the global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.


Food from the El Dorado Royale resort has been donated to locals.

The company has always been ethically oriented, community-centric and compelled to care for its team members simply out of a sense of doing what’s right.

In addition to its other ongoing good-works initiatives, Karisma is currently engaged in the following efforts:

— Karisma Hotels & Resorts has protected its entire full-time workforce, providing continued employment even in the face of the hotel industry’s current financial predicament.

— The Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana property, with the assistance of municipality police, is delivering 800 meals daily to Dominican community members who are most in need of support.

— The Karisma Foundation is providing medicine and medical supplies for 160 beneficiaries who are currently impacted by COVID-19 in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. El Dorado Royale is also supplying food from its 75,000 square-foot onsite greenhouse at-cost to the local community.

— El Dorado Royale is further delivering free baskets of the foods produced in its greenhouse to hotel employees and Riviera Maya locals in need.

— To support the mental health of the global community, Karisma has also launched its #ExperienceElDoradoAtHome campaign to provide guests with virtual vacation moments that can be enjoyed from home. A video series highlights topics such as salsa dancing, mojito making, crafting the perfect taco, and tips and tricks on wellness and ideal skincare routines. Over the next few weeks, the El Dorado Spa Resorts will present on recipes for signature dishes and drinks, and resort activities for viewers to try at home for a taste of travel while safely self-isolating.

Lending a Hand: Karisma, Hyatt and More

INTERNATIONAL REPORT—At this time of crisis, those associated with the hotel industry make every effort to take care of their own, as well as others in the areas that they serve. Here are some organizations that are helping any way they can during the coronavirus pandemic:

Karisma Hotels & Resorts Helps Guests and Staff
Karisma’s Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana is supplying and delivering more than 800 meals daily to families in the Dominican Republic, with the assistance of the tourism police municipality. In Mexico, The Karisma Foundation is providing medicine and medical supplies for 160 beneficiaries impacted by COVID-19 in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, where El Dorado Royale is also providing food at cost to local community members from its on-site greenhouse.

Karisma Hotels & Resorts has also protected all of its full-time workforce. The company has also provided food baskets from El Dorado Royale’s greenhouse to employees and locals.

And finally, Karisma has initiated the #ExperienceElDoradoAtHome campaign to provide guests with mini mental vacations and a taste of travel from home, featuring everything from salsa lessons and mojito making, to guidance on creating the perfect taco and tips and tricks for an evening skincare routine. More will be added over the next few weeks, including recipes for drinks and dishes; a connection to El Dorado’s rich culture; and fun activities.

Hyatt Launches Hyatt Care Fund

In a focused effort to help the colleagues who are most financially impacted by COVID-19, Hyatt has launched the Hyatt Care Fund. The fund is a program designed to support colleagues with the most pressing financial needs due to the pandemic through a series of coordinated efforts around the world. Impacted Hyatt colleagues in owned, managed and franchised hotels and in Hyatt’s corporate offices around the world are eligible to apply.

The ultimate goal of the Hyatt Care Fund is to provide financial relief to as many impacted colleagues as possible. Initially, grants will be prioritized to colleagues who are currently working zero hours and not eligible for government assistance. Grants will provide compensation for needs ranging from rent payments to groceries or childcare assistance to utilities and other monthly payments.

The Hyatt Care Fund is launching with initial contributions by the Hyatt Hotels Foundation; salary reductions of Hyatt’s senior leadership team and board of directors; and donations from Pritzker family foundations.

Classic Hotels & Resorts

Classic Hotels & Resorts has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support employees that have been impacted by COVID-19. The owners of La Playa Carmel, Laguna Beach House, Hotel Carmel and The Inn at Laguna Beach in California, as well as Arizona Grand Resort & Spa and The Scott Resort & Spa in Arizona, had to furlough 80% of employees due to the impact of the pandemic.

With many of Classic’s employees now on unpaid leave, the goal is to reopen and rehire as soon as possible. In the meantime, the company is continuing to pursue all available government assistance programs. In every scenario, a shortfall exists, and they are trying to fill the gap.

All money raised by this GoFundMe will go towards Classic Hotels & Resorts’ Employee Relief Fund with $50,000 for groceries and other essential needs for furloughed employees.

Bad news, Loud Crowd! Nickelodeon has announced that they'll be shutting down their Loud House Ultimate Treehouse game app on Friday, May 15 2020.


Launched in September 2018 (following a limited release in the Philippines earlier that year) as the brand's first-ever original, global app based on its hit animated comedy series The Loud House, the new game tasks kids (and kids at heart) with helping Lincoln Loud build a towering treehouse, designing and building each level into a one-of-a-kind virtual structure.


When players load Loud House Ultimate Treehouse, they are greeted with a pop-up saying "We hope you enjoyed playing Loud House Ultimate Treehouse!"

We're sorry to report that the treehouse will be closing soon. Starting May 15, 2020 you will no longer be able to access your Ultimate Treehouse."

Thank you for playing with us, and building a fantastic treehouse!"


In the app, players strive to build the tallest treehouse possible, designing rooms for all of their favorite characters which can be personalized with decorations inspired by the show, such as bean bags, guitars, comic books, video games, and even Lisa Loud’s Brainwave Machine. Players can build, customize and expand their towering virtual retreat by collecting items, earning virtual currency and leveling up with quests. The game is available for iOS and Android devices via the App Store and Google Play store, respectively.

The news comes as Nickelodeon moves away from 'separate' apps for gaming, opting for subscription gaming instead. The move saw the brand release Loud House: Outta Control on Apple Arcade earlier this year.

From Observatório da TV:

Clara Tiezzi integra elenco de nova temporada de Noobees no Nickelodeon

Novela teen conta aventuras de quem é viciado no tema

Na próxima segunda-feira (2), às 20h, estreia a segunda temporada de Noobees, novela colombiana da Nickelodeon sobre o universo dos games. Na história, a atriz brasileira Clara Tiezzi dá vida a Laura Calles, melhor amiga da protagonista Silvia Rojas, interpretada por Michelle Olvera.

Nesta nova temporada, Game Over (Julián Beltrán) retorna ao mundo virtual para seguir com seu plano de conquistar o mundo. Seu objetivo é provar que Avatares não são manipuláveis e são tão reais quanto humanos. Além disso, Game Over pretende fazer Silvia sofrer as consequências de sua revanche.

Mas não será apenas Silvia que enfrentará grandes problemas. Laura retorna de sua expedição na Amazônia e também precisa correr contra o tempo para entender e desvendar todos os mistérios dos Avatares – principalmente quando se der conta de que ela não estava em sã consciência durante todo esse período.

O elenco original está de volta para os novos episódios: os mexicanos Michelle Olvera e Andrés de la Mora, os colombianos María José Vargas e Pipe Arcila e, como já dito anteriormente, a atriz brasileira Clara Tiezzi. Além deles, estarão na segunda temporada de Noobees o ator argentino Julián Cerati (Once, Ando Cantando), a influencer colombiana Daniela Perez “La Pereztroica”, a atriz venezuelana Karlys Romero (Para verte mejor), entre outros.

Escrita por Marcela Citterio (Eu Sou Franky, Heidi, Bem-Vinda a Casa, La Fan y Chica Vampiro, entre outras), Noobees chega com muito humor, drama, romance, ficção científica e efeitos especiais.

Sobre Clara Tiezzi

Clara Tiezzi começou a atuar aos quatro anos em peças de teatro. Aos sete protagonizou seu primeiro trabalho na televisão, a série infantil Teca na 10. Também atuou em novelas como Ti-ti-ti, Rebelde e Malhação.

Clara também de dois longa metragens com o diretor Daniel Filho. Aos 17 anos, ingressou na faculdade de Cinema, até iniciar as gravações da primeira temporada de Noobees do canal Nickelodeon.

From Notícias da TV:

Atriz revela segredo sobre série de gamers: Ninguém do elenco joga nada


O elenco de Noobees com os visuais de seus avatares no jogo: gamers só na ficção mesmo

A série infantojuvenil Noobees, do canal Nickelodeon, mostra a rotina de um grupo de jovens gamers que competem profissionalmente em um torneio online. Mas Clara Tiezzi, única brasileira em um elenco que reúne nomes de toda a América Latina, revela um segredo sobre seus colegas atores: nenhum deles é muito ligado no universo dos jogos.

"Ninguém do elenco é gamer. No máximo, alguns meninos jogam Fifa. Mas tivemos todo um laboratório, um consultor da liga de videogames foi lá conversar conosco, tirou nossas dúvidas, e nós ficamos uns dois dias jogando LoL [League of Legends, game de estratégia online]. Então, ficamos bem inteirados desse universo sem participar, de fato, dele", explica a atriz de 20 anos ao Notícias da TV.

E as cenas em que o elenco aparece diante de seus computadores jogando o game? Só a magia da televisão explica. "Na verdade, só estamos encarando uma tela verde, apertamos os botões sem nenhuma lógica e ficamos tentando lembrar as nossas falas, que muitas vezes não fazem o menor sentido para nós", admite Clara. "Mas isso é o legal de ser ator, contar histórias que não têm nada a ver com você."

Apesar de jovem, a atriz sabe do que está falando: ela tem 16 anos de carreira, e está na TV desde os sete. Clara já precisou, por exemplo, mergulhar fundo no universo da moda para interpretar a blogueira fashionista Mabi no remake de Ti Ti Ti (2010). "A gente começa a aprender os termos técnicos, pode pagar de entendido. Agora, por causa de Noobees, eu posso fingir que entendo muito de games", brinca ela.

Curiosamente, na segunda temporada da atração infantojuvenil, os games não serão mais tanto o foco. "O primeiro ano foi muito centrado nas competições, nas duas equipes e na rivalidade entre elas. Agora, existem outras coisas, que eu não posso dizer o que são, mas que chamam mais a atenção do que o videogame em si. Fica a critério da criatividade de vocês imaginar o que elas são", desconversa a artista.

Sumiço temporário

Clara Tiezzi como a fofinha Laura no primeiro ano de Noobees: ela vai voltar bem diferente à novelinha

Os novos episódios de Noobees começam nesta segunda (2), às 20h, na Nickelodeon, com capítulos inéditos de segunda a sexta. Mas os fãs de Clara Tiezzi e de sua personagem, a amigável Laura, precisarão ter um pouco de paciência: ela voltará à ação apenas na metade da temporada.

É que, quando começaram as gravações, em abril do ano passado, a atriz estava na Europa para rodar a comédia Férias em Família, do Multishow. Como a produção da Nick é sediada na Colômbia, ficaria impossível para ela conciliar os dois trabalhos. "Geralmente o ator chora porque não tem emprego, eu fiquei com dois projetos ao mesmo tempo. Não podia nem reclamar, porque ninguém ia entender", diverte-se.

A atriz brinca que chegou a ser "dispensada pelo Bob Esponja", personagem icônico do canal pago, durante 48 horas.

"Disseram que não tinham como me esperar para gravar o segundo ano, uma pena, vida que segue. Pensei: 'Meu Deus, fui demitida da Nickelodeon', corri para chorar em posição fetal. Dois dias depois, a produtora me ligou e contou que o pessoal de Miami me queria tanto nos novos episódios que eu poderia gravar de julho a outubro. Então eu volto no meio da temporada."

E o sumiço temporário da personagem será justificado de um jeitinho bem brasileiro. "Reza a lenda que a Laura foi fazer uma expedição na Amazônia com os pais dela. E ela retorna outra pessoa: era fofinha, do cabelo lisinho, a amiga que tinha sempre um sorvete. Mas volta meio Shakira, completamente diferente. Até para mim como atriz foi um desafio gostoso redescobrir a personagem", adianta ela.

From La Opinión:

‘Ruth y Majo tienen su mundo virtual’

María José Vargas habla de los exitosos papeles que la han convertido en la actriz joven del momento.

No fue difícil para María José Vargas interpretar a Ruth, su personaje en la serie juvenil ‘Noobees’, que el canal Nickelodeon estrenará el próximo lunes 2 de marzo, a las seis de la tarde.

No se parece en lo siniestra y vengativa que puede llegar a ser Ruth, pero sí tiene la capacidad que ella tiene entre poder dividir bien lo que es su mundo real y la construcción de un mundo virtual como miles de jóvenes hacen actualmente.

De eso se trata ‘Noobees’, que en su segunda temporada tendrá 60 capítulos de una hora, con una historia sobre la vida de jóvenes apasionados por el universo ‘gaming’. Las relaciones interpersonales de los jóvenes de hoy que siempre están conectados con sus redes sociales.

En esta segunda temporada, Silvia y David disfrutan de su vida de novios, sin saber que ‘GameOver’, la Inteligencia Artificial, quiere tomar control de todos los gamers y transformar ‘la vida real’ en un videojuego. Para lograrlo, 'GameOver' cuenta con la ayuda de dos avatares a los que dará vida, engaña y les propone jugar el mejor juego de su vida.

Es una producción realizada en Colombia para la televisión colombiana, protagonizada por los mexicanos Michelle Olvera y Andrés de la Mora; los colombianos María José Vargas y Pipe Arcila, así como la actriz brasileña Clara Tiezzi.

María José Vargas se ha convertido en la actriz joven del momento, la misma que ha logrado dar el salto de actriz infantil a juvenil con bastante éxito, con su participación en producciones como ‘La Reina del Flow’, así como ‘Bolívar’ y las dos temporadas de ‘Noobees’.

Mundo Virtual

Segunda temporada de Noobees de Nickelodeon…

Esta segunda temporada está increíble porque es una recopilación, un conjunto de cosas maravillosas con nuevos triángulos amorosos, amistades incondicionales, algunas que se rompen pero que al final terminan por regresar.

También está el mundo virtual que es tan importante hoy en la vida y en la serie. Es un conjunto de enseñanzas, de risas, pero en especial, de cosas increíbles.

Mundo real y mundo virtual, ¿dos mundos que María José Vargas sabe manejar muy bien?

Se puede decir que lo logro manejar, con mi mundo real como María José Vargas y mi mundo real como Majovargas. Creo que he logrado definir bien los espacios entre mi vida personal, mi vida actoral y mi relación con el público.

¿Difícil mantenerlos separados?

Yo siento que soy bastante clara al tener mi vida personal para mí. Hay una parte con la que claramente comparto con mis seguidores o televidentes, quienes me ven en series y telenovelas y luego me siguen en mis redes sociales. Les trato de mostrar lo esencial, el resto me lo guardo para mí y mi vida diaria.

¿Y cómo se desconecta de ese mundo virtual?

Yo no utilizo mi celular ni una hora antes de dormir ni una hora al levantarme, porque no quiero que lo primero que yo vea al despertar sea la pantalla del celular, ni tampoco al acostarme. Si se usa durante el día ya es usual, cotidiano y necesario, pero creo que al dormir uno debería llevarse otra imagen del mundo, como viendo las estrellas, y levantarse agradeciendo, viendo al sol, el cielo.

En la serie

¿Y en el caso de su personaje en la serie?

Ruth tiene su propio mundo virtual en los cuales se desarrolla bastante bien como Youtuber, pero también definiendo bien su mundo real donde es fashionista y actriz, entonces tiene ciertas similitudes con mi vida.

Ruth, la antagonista...

Ruth es la mala del paseo (risas). Es quien le hace la vida imposible a la protagonista y quien está enamorada del otro protagonista, pero nunca le hace caso. La verdad creo que a través de personajes así, que se pueden ver como villanos o malvados, se pueden encontrar muchas enseñanzas. Ruth intenta vengarse, ser mala, con muchas cosas en contra de ellos, pero siempre, como dicen por ahí, le sale el tiro por la culata.

¿Qué tan difícil es crear un personaje, hacer una temporada, dejarlo por un tiempo y retomarlo en una segunda oportunidad?

Difícil porque uno suelta como actor. Uno termina un trabajo y hace el proceso de soltar el personaje para estar lista para la creación del siguiente, pero como sucedió en esta oportunidad, te llaman y te dicen: “rescátalo”. Es una nueva creación sobre otros parámetros ya establecidos, con una base y si lo haces bien poder desarrollarlo mucho mejor. Es un nuevo personaje.

¿Y la escritura?

La escritura sigue ahí. Mi libro ‘Constelando en el amor’ lo lancé como hace cuatro meses que es una apuesta al ser un libro de poesía donde quería demostrar de que el amor verdadero sí puede existir.

¿Cómo llega la inspiración?

Yo tengo un tatuaje que es la luna, un planeta y una estrella, porque cuando el planeta gira y llega la noche, es mi momento de inspiración. ¿Por qué? No sé, pero empiezo a escribir y salen cosas desde mi corazón que le transmito a mis seguidores o en el libro.

Vea También: Estoy viviendo el presente: Llane

¿Por qué poesía?

Me encanta la poesía porque es una forma de expresar y de transmitir muchas emociones. Al escribir algo de amor o de despecho, la gente se conecta rápidamente contigo y sienten que también les ha ocurrido. La poesía es una conexión entre almas, porque se hace desde lo más profundo de las personas.

¿Cómo es la relación con su hermana, quien también es actriz?

Como hermanas somos las mejores hermanas de todo el planeta, porque somos muy unidas, casi nunca peleamos, la última vez fue hace como tres años (risas). En lo personal y laboral nos aportamos, pero no nos criticamos, pero sí un aprendizaje y crecimiento. Una relación bastante bonita.

¿Un sueño por cumplir?

Sueño con trabajar al lado de mi hermana. Siempre nos ha tocado en los mismos proyectos donde yo soy la chiquita y ella la grande, donde yo salgo de escena y ella entra, pero nunca como compartir escena, lo cual sería maravilloso poder hacerlo.

¿Qué viene para María José Vargas en el 2020?

Vienen cosas bonitas que aún no les puedo contar, pero creo que viene este año cargado de muchas oportunidades, pero en especial, nuevos retos para seguir creciendo como actriz.

NooBees 2 | Avance del Capítulo 2



Noobees: Construindo Avatar City e os Avatres


Noobees 2: Especial de estreia com o elenco | Nickelodeon Brasil


From Jornal Diário do Grande ABC:

Volta ao mundo de 'Noobees’

Novidades marcam os episódios da segunda temporada do seriado da Nickelodeon

O seriado Noobees, da Nickelodeon, está em outra fase. Já em exibição, a segunda temporada do programa promete ampliar a história, a quantidade de personagens e o mergulho no universo dos videogames.

Segundo a atriz brasileira Clara Tiezze, que interpreta Laura, a nova etapa da atração está bem mais agitada e pronta para surpreender os fãs. Game Over retorna ao mundo virtual para seguir com o plano de conquistar o planeta e provar que avatares não são manipuláveis, sendo tão reais quanto os humanos. A protagonista deve enfrentar as consequências desse desejo de revanche virtual.

“O elenco dobrou de tamanho e tudo está muito legal, pois acho que (os novatos) trouxeram um frescor para a história sem ela perder a personalidade que já tinha”, comenta a jovem de 20 anos. “É uma temporada diferente. A primeira era mais focada nas competições e esta muda um pouco a linha. Fora que a Laura está completamente diferente. Ela esteve um tempo na Amazônia e volta uma outra pessoa.”

Clara comenta que o trabalho com sua personagem tem sido especial. “O negócio de desenvolver a Laura foi muito em conjunto com a Michele (Olvera, do México), que faz a Silvia. Uma meio que complementa a outra. Somos uma duplinha e adoro a ideia de ser um alívio cômico da série. Me sinto a Rony Wesley do Harry Potter”, diz, recordando que parte dos estudos do elenco sobre o mundo dos games incluiu partidas do jogo League of Legends.

A nova temporada de Noobees está na programação da Nickelodeon, de segunda a sexta-feira, sempre às 20h.

From Notícias da TV:

Veterana aos 20 anos, brasileira atua na Colômbia e faz sucesso até na Rússia

Apesar de ter apenas 20 anos, Clara Tiezzi já atua há 16. Mas a jovem veterana ainda experimenta novas situações, como a repercussão internacional. Depois de fazer Ti Ti Ti (2010) e Rebelde (2011) no Brasil, ela agora aparece na série Noobees, gravada na Colômbia e exibida pela Nickelodeon no mundo todo. Com isso, tem feito sucesso até na Rússia.

"Noobees tem um alcance muito maluco. Tem gente da Rússia que me manda mensagem no Instagram, perguntando se eu sei falar russo. As pessoas ficam boladas porque eu não sei (risos). Desculpa, gente, eu sou latina. Não é normal um latino falar russo, perdão", brinca a atriz em conversa com o Notícias da TV.

E, enquanto pessoas do outro lado do mundo torcem para Clara ser estrela de seus países, os próprios brasileiros se chocam quando descobrem que ela nasceu aqui. "Uma galera que vê Noobees não se liga que eu sou daqui. Eles vêm me perguntar no Instagram: 'Mas você fala português?', 'Por que você não mora aqui?'. Gente, sou brasileira, como assim? Continuo morando em Niterói [RJ]!", diz ela.

Clara, no entanto, admite que tem ficado cada vez menos no país em que nasceu. Além do longo período que passa na Colômbia para gravar a série infantojuvenil (são 60 episódios de uma hora cada por temporada), ela também foi para a Europa gravar a comédia Férias em Família para o Multishow --ao lado de atores como Luis Lobianco e Cristina Pereira, ela passou por Portugal e Espanha.

"É engraçado, porque não foi um direcionamento de carreira meu, nunca quis só fazer coisas lá fora. Foi acontecendo. Minha mãe está desesperada: 'Estão sequestrando minha filha!' (risos). Já a minha empresária brinca que vai viajar pro resto da vida com as milhas que eu estou ganhando", diverte-se a jovem.

A dedicação a papéis no exterior tem dificultado sua carreira no Brasil --seu último trabalho rodado aqui foi o longa É Fada (2016), estrelado por Kéfera Buchmann, e ela não aparece em novelas desde Malhação - Casa Cheia, encerrada em junho de 2014.

"Sempre que eu recebo convite para fazer algo aqui, já estou com trabalho agendado lá fora. Na primeira temporada de Noobees, eu fui chamada para uma novela das seis na Globo, não rolou, eu já estava na Colômbia. Depois, fui chamada para outra trama e tive que recusar também. Como ator, a gente sempre sofre para conseguir emprego, e eu estou sofrendo porque não consigo conciliar. Não posso reclamar!"

Aposentadoria?

Na carreira artística há 16 anos, Clara Tiezzi brinca que já cogitou se aposentar, mas mudou de ideia ao perceber que não tem motivos para isso. "Se eu me aposentasse, seria para virar mochileira, sair viajando por aí. Mas a minha profissão já me permite isso. Eu faço o mochilão sem gastar nada e ainda sou paga para isso, então acho que dá para adiar a ideia da aposentadoria por um tempo (risos)", brinca.

Ela ainda sonha com a possibilidade de fazer personagens diferentes, já que até o momento sempre teve um pezinho no humor. "Eu amo comédia, mas queria um drama, uma trama de época, de qualquer época, pode escolher que eu topo. E queria interpretar uma personagem maior de idade também, adulta, porque eu já sou, né? Tenho muitos papéis dos sonhos na minha lista ainda", adianta.

From Febre Teen:

O NOSSO SONHO DE UM REBOOT DE ‘MANUAL DE SOBREVIVÊNCIA ESCOLAR DO NED’ VAI ACONTECER?

Não tem como negar que a Nickelodeon tem algumas das séries mais icônicas dos anos 2000. Todo mundo tem boas lembranças quando pensa em “Drake & Josh“, “Normal Demais“, “The Naked Brothers Band” e claro que “Manual de Sobrevivência Escolar do Ned“.

A série gira em torno de um grupo de três amigos: Ned (Devon Werkheiser), que escrevia dicas para sobreviver na escola depois de ser humilhado no jardim de infância; Moze (Lindsey Shaw), uma garota durona mas com o seu lado fofo, que é jogadora de basquete e viciada nas aulas de marcenaria; Cookie (Daniel Curtis Lee), o nerd que sabe de tudo sobre tecnologia e ter criações doidas durante os episódios.

Em uma recente entrevista, a Lindsey falou sobre como seria um possível reboot da série, mas infelizmente não revelou se isso irá acontecer. Choremos. Em sua mente, a continuação da série seria a seguinte:

“Talvez o Ned e a Moze namoraram por alguns anos, talvez no colegial. Depois eles terminaram, mas todos continuam amigos. Acho que o Cookie foi mais afundo nas coisas de tecnologia e se tornou o CEO de uma grande empresa. Moze provavelmente continua trabalhando com madeiras mas faz tratamento para controle de raiva. Ned continua escrevendo dicas pra ele e para os seus amigos, e está treinando para ser o novo Gordie – o faxineiro. Eles eram modelos para cada um. Ou Ned poderia ser o diretor. Ou ele poderia ensinar educação física.”

Gen Z in South Africa: Forging an Authentic New Future

Gen Z in South Africa: Forging an Authentic New Future


ViacomCBS Global Insights undertook an international study into the generation known as Gen Z, consisting of youth between the ages of 13-24. This study spanned of 46 countries, including South Africa, and had 58 400 individual respondents.

Despite being constantly connected, this generation values authenticity above all else.

When asked how they would label themselves, 95% of South African Gen Z’s believe that they strive to be authentic, and 94% value being “true to myself”. Even when travelling, 94% of this generation says they seek authentic experiences.

Gen Z’s seek out these authentic experiences in part to share them across social media, with 90% of local respondents saying they publish such content on their personal profiles.

Arguably this is because, for Gen Z more than previous generations, the digital world is just as real as the physical world. In South Africa, 80% of Gen Z’s say that being connected to the internet is just as much a part of their daily routine as eating and sleeping, and 91% of them believe that access to the internet is a basic human right.

This expectation is due in part to the fact that even the oldest Gen Z’s, who were born in 1997, have never known a world where the internet does not exist.

They are future-focussed and aware of their responsibilities and impact on the planet.

Their constant connectivity is a double-edged sword. This generation experiences life online, and unlike millennials, has not been sheltered from global issues like refugee crises, the #MeToo Movement and climate change.

Locally, 91% of Gen Z’s say the internet has introduced them to things they wouldn’t have known about otherwise, and 82% say they use connectivity to stay informed. The dark side of this unprecedented access to knowledge is that only 20% say they have no trouble blocking out bad news.

Being highly connected has created a generation that leverages their power on social media to make an impact and reshape global narratives.

Of local Gen Z’s polled, 97% think that everyone should have the right to stand up for what they believe in, while 83% agree that their generation is more involved with societal and environmental issues than generations before them, and 75% feel a personal responsibility to be involved in issues they care about.

This generation believes that they have inherited a world of problems, and 72% of South African Gen Z’s say the onus is on them to find solutions these challenges.

They are experience-hungry, but cautious.

As part of their drive for authenticity, this generation seeks out meaningful experiences, with 96% of local Gen Z’s stating that a shared experience creates lasting memories that they can share with friends and on social media. Similarly, 92% believe that what they experience is a greater expression of who they are than the possessions they own.

Travel remains the ultimate experience for Gen Z, but in South Africa, other important activities include spending time with family (61%), spending time with friends (46%) and listening to music (38%).

Music, as ever, remains an important determiner of their identity, with 74% saying their choice of music is critical to their identity, as is sharing music with friends (80%).

Being a future-focussed and always-on generation has also made Gen Z’s more cautious than those before them, with 90% of South African Gen Z’s agreeing with this statement. At least 85% of local Gen Z’s are aware of and concerned about how their data is being used online, while they increasingly choose not to engage in risky behaviour like drinking and smoking, if it doesn’t form an authentic part of their identity.

As a cautious generation, they are preparing for the future today, and are learning from the financial errors of generations past. Of those polled, 98% stated it was important to make smart financial decisions, and 84% agree that they manage their finances carefully.

What is interesting to note is that in South Africa, it seems like Gen Z is more economically conscious than their global peers. Locally, 90% of those polled agreed that it was better to have a basic wage than no job at all, compared to 77% internationally. Similarly, more local youth (85%) hope to own their own businesses someday, versus international Gen Z’s (68%).

Brands still have a role to play, if they fit in with Gen Z values

This generation is authentic, aware of societal issues, forward thinking and connected. While many of them are brand-wary, there is still space for those brands that can tap into and authentically reflect the values of Gen Z’s

Of local youth polled, 77% believe that brands only care about making money, and that 84% of brands make promises they can’t keep.

At the same time, this generation still uses brands to form part of their identity, with 79% of local Gen Z’s saying that they use particular brands to express themselves. As always, fashion and music play a critical role in identity formation.

Brands who can authentically appeal to Gen Z values, such as empathy, social justice and equality, and that show a genuine reflection of and engagement with the causes they care about are most likely to best reach this raw and real generation.

Nickelodeon USA Sees Ratings Uptick During Coronavirus Outbreak

Nickelodeon has seen a ratings uptick during the coronavirus outbreak with more people hunkering down at home. Since this past Friday (March 13), Nickelodeon’s portfolio of linear networks have been up 16% with Kids 2-11 compared to the prior four weeks. On Monday, ratings surged 36% over the last four weeks’ average, and were up 15% compared to the same time period last year. Nickelodeon itself has been up 18% compared to the last four weeks, also driven by Monday’s strong rise. Ratings for that day were up 27% over the recent average, and +11% compared to last year.



Oddly, children's channels in Poland, including Nickelodeon, have not yet seen a ratings increase, even though schools in the country have been closed due to the viral outbreak.

From Deadline:

TV Ratings Climb As People Rediscover Live Linear Viewing Amid Coronavirus-Imposed Stay At Home

March 8 marked the start of Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Normally, the switch is associated with a Live+Same Day ratings slump for the broadcast networks, especially in the 8 PM hour, as people stay outside longer.

But this year, the week of March 8 marked the turning point in the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., when the threat became real as new cases in the country started skyrocketing and the World Health Organization declaring it a global pandemic. By the end of last week, most companies had instituted work-from-home guidelines, many schools were closed, and restaurants, movie theaters and gyms started to shut down.

As a result of people following the new “social distancing” guidelines and spending more time at home, the typical Daylight Saving Time slump was nonexistent this year. What’s more, broadcast networks have been posting across-the-board, week-to-week, Live+SD ratings increases the likes of which we had not seen in ages, and which had been considered a thing of the past amid the proliferation of streaming.

This past Monday, NBC’s The Voice, an 8 PM show, leaped a whopping 38% (five tenths of a rating point) week-to-week among adults 18-49 (1.8 vs. 1.3) and 1.1 million total viewers (9.67 million vs. 8.73 million) to deliver the highest-rated and most watched Monday or Tuesday edition of the singing competition in a year.

Last night, NBC’s Ellen’s Game of Games, also a 8 PM program, climbed 44% (four tenths) in the demo and added 1.6 million viewers for its best L+SD marks in more than a year. The network’s This Is Us rose three tenths in the demo on Tuesday, while CBS’ Bull and Bob Hearts Abishola posted season highs Monday.

Streaming had been tipped as a major beneficiary of the current mandate for staying home, but viewers — and many of them younger — are also checking out traditional TV.

Primetime PUT (People Using Television) levels among total viewers were up every day last week, with strong week-to-week gains on both Saturday and Sunday night. Monday’s HUTs (Households Using Television) levels were the highest for a Monday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 13).

Daytime and late-night usage levels were also have been up. For instance, since last Friday, Nickelodeon’s portfolio of linear networks have been up 16% with kids 2-11 compared with the prior four weeks.

Ratings experts expect viewing levels’ growth to continue as more people stay home amid expanding restrictions, including quarantines, around the country.

As for any long-term effect, it is too early to say whether younger viewers who discovered appointment viewing on broadcast TV will come back when the outbreak is over. But for the time being the ratings uptick may be the only good news for the networks, which are facing losses from the suspension of most major sports, unfinished seasons as many series shut down over COVID-19 fears before wrapping production, and a pilot-season washout.

Update (4/9) -Currently, there is a significant spike across ViacomCBS Networks Africa's brands in viewership and engagement. This trend indicates that the fastest growing channel on TV viewing during the Covid-19 pandemic across the total available audience in South Africa is Nickelodeon, a dedicated children’s channel. Interestingly, this genre has seen a 71% growth in viewership, coming second to news at 89%. This serves as a testament to the power of family viewing often in favour of the younger audience channels, especially during this difficult time. The path to purchase clearly is a negotiation between parents and their children and younger generations are winning!

From MediaPost:

Kids' Viewing On The Rise In The Time Of COVID-19

Reversing some systemic ratings declines, national TV kids' networks have seen gains over the last week, as more children are now home from school due to COVID-19 concerns, according to two different TV research companies.

Nickelodeon is up 7% to 560,000 total day Nielsen-measured viewers for the week ending March 15, while NickToons is up 16% to 110,000 viewers, Boomerang is 5% higher to 89,000 and TeenNick is up 22% to 77,000.

WarnerMedia’s The Cartoon Network -- the second-biggest kids' network -- is down slightly by 2% to 291,000, while Nick Jr. is down 2.4% to 240,000. Disney XD is flat at 69,000, while Universal Kids is up 17% to 34,000 and BabyKids is up 6% to 33,000.

Traditional linear TV networks have seen declines in viewing for years due to growing digital platforms, including YouTube.
Samba TV -- which culls viewing data from smart TV automated content recognition technology -- says that over the same two-week period, TeenNick has seen total time spent on its network by 171%, while DisneyXD is 68% higher, Nicktoons is 66% higher, Nick Jr. has added 32%, and Disney Channel has grown 27%.

Samba TV has a measurement panel of millions of U.S. homes and measures the time spent watching TV across more than 190 networks from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm local time.

From CBR.com:

Coronavirus Quarantine Causes Spike in Live TV Ratings

With more people staying at home due to coronavirus, television viewership is reaching massive highs across the country.

The quarantine issued in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a sizeable increase in live TV ratings.

According to Deadline, television networks have seen a massive spike in ratings since last week, when the spread of the disease led to a massive response from government bodies. Schools, places of business and other workspaces began shutting down in order to help curb the spread of the disease and people in general began practicing "social distancing" in order to avoid further infection.

There is a clear correlation between the rise in ratings and the fact that the general populace has been spending more time indoors. NBC's The Voice saw a massive 38% jump among viewers in the 18-49 age demographic on Monday night, while another NBC competition show Ellen's Game of Games jumped 44% on Tuesday night. The CBS sitcom Bob Hearts Abishola and legal drama Bull also posted season highs for both shows on Monday. The children's channel Nickelodeon has seen a 16% rise among the 2-11 age demographic since last Friday.

Broadcast networks are in serious need of the high ratings. With multiple sports leagues cancelling their seasons and with production being shut down on shows across the country, television networks are facing serious loses in the face of the pandemic. Current competition continues to be streaming services, which have also seen a rise in viewings.

Ratings experts speculate that the increase will continue to grow as long as the quarantine and restrictions over the disease remain active.

From Kidscreen:

What are kids watching on lockdown?

PAW Patrol and Star Wars: The Clone Wars are among the most in-demand shows for the past two weeks across Europe and North America.

The past two weeks has seen a massive push towards physicial isolation across Europe and North America, forcing billions of kids to be kept home from school. And while schooling continues for many, there’s also been a spike in home viewership. What’s topping kids’ viewing lists? LA-based Parrot Analytics has found that PAW Patrol is dominating screens in Europe, while SpongeBob SquarePants is most popular across North America.

According to UNESCO, 87% of the world’s children are out of school right now with nationwide closures in more than 160 countries. And kids TV channels are seeing a spike in viewing according to Nielsen—some as high as 58% in the US.

How does that translate to online? Parrot Analytics measured social media interactions, social video views, online research and piracy numbers using a weighted algorithm, to determine demand for the average show (demand being how frequently it’s talked about online or pirated.)

Between March 11 and 23 in Europe, the number one most in-demand show was PAW Patrol (22.35 time more demand than the average show), followed by Peppa Pig (21.27 times), SpongeBob SquarePants (15.15 times), Star Wars: The Clone Wars (pictured, 14.57 times), Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir (13.98 times), Masha and the Bear (12.53 times), Gravity Falls (10.32 times), Steven Universe (10.11 times), My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (9.67 times) and PJ Masks (6.59 times).

Meanwhile, in North America, SpongeBob SquarePants still reigns supreme, like it did for the first three months of the year, at 88.43 times greater demand than the average show. While the top-10 shared some similarities with Europe, such as Steven Universe (60.68 times) and Star Wars: The Clone Wars (54.09 time), it also featured a lot of anime, including Dragon Ball Z at number four (40.97 times), while Europe had no shows featuring the Japanese art-style in its top-10 list. Other anime titles on the list included Pokémon (35.46 times) at number six, Avatar: The Last Airbender (30.78 times) at number nine and Naruto: Shippuden (29.71x) at ten.

The rest of the North American top-10 was rounded out by PAW Patrol (35.5 times), Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir (33.52 times), Sesame Street (31.87 times).

I’m sure you have seen your own media usage change over the last week or two, now that you’re holed up at home. You’re watching, reading, browsing more.

Traditional TV and cable TV are reaping the benefits of a captive audience consisting of homebound young adults, frazzled parents and bored kids.

Reports Deadline: “Primetime PUT (People Using Television) levels among total viewers were up every day last week, with strong week-to-week gains on both Saturday and Sunday night. Monday’s HUTs (Households Using Television) levels were the highest for a Monday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 13). Daytime and late-night usage levels were also have been up. For instance, since last Friday, Nickelodeon’s portfolio of linear networks has been up 16% with kids 2-11 compared with the prior four weeks.”

Video platforms have also seen significant audience upticks. Per Cheddar: “Americans streamed 85% more minutes of video in March 2020 than in March 2019, according to new Nielsen data.

- The average person has spent 36% more minutes streaming TV and movies in the last four weeks.

- Binge watching (or watching 3+ episodes in one sitting, per the Hulu English Dictionary) has climbed more than 25% over the last two weeks."

Awesome: More eyeballs, so more opportunity to advertise, right? Nope. The Meyers Report writes: “While 89 percent of advertisers have been disrupted by COVID-19, only a third have canceled a campaign outright. The rest are changing their media mix and/or looking to shift their spending into the second half of the year. Despite the shifting of current media dollars, fully 81 percent of advertisers expect to cut ad budgets significantly this year, and 68 percent expect to spend less next year because of the pandemic.”

Some of that makes perfect sense. It’s hard to advertise for products or services that have been impacted by the pandemic, or to audiences that have more pressing matters than thinking about buying a new car or electric toothbrush.

But it’s worth remembering a few important lessons from past economic downturns. Here is a blast from the past, as reported in 2009: “Companies whose ad spending didn't vary according to economic cycles -- based on an analysis of Ad Age data on global ad spending -- also tended to increase their stock prices an average of 1.3 percentage points annually ahead of others from 1986 to 2006.”

So what does all this copy/pasting I just did tell us? First of all, budget cuts and shifts are understandable, especially if you are not able to serve (the majority of) your customers as you used to prior to the shutdown. But at the same time, a hard “cut and run” may not be in your best interest, if you think your business will still be standing when the economy re-emerges at the other end of the tunnel. If you can’t sell a product or service right now, it’s perhaps the time to reinforce your brand values and consumer appreciation.

And if you are still selling or servicing, for you, too, this is the time to benefit from high supply and lowered demand in the media market. There might be real opportunities for advertisers looking for some presence.

More Screen Time During Lockdown? Not for These Kids Cable Channels

Even if parents are going batty trying to keep their little ones entertained while cooped up at home during this pandemic, they’re not necessarily plunking the kids in front of the TV — not linear TV at least. Meanwhile, certain streaming services are seeing a lift in interest, underscoring the next generation’s shift in television viewing habits.

For the week of March 23-29, viewership of ad-supported kids’ linear cable networks — a group that includes Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney XD and others — slid 3% from the comparable week in March 2019, according to Bernstein research analysts, citing Nielsen figures. And that year-over-year decline actually marks a major improvement: prior to shelter-in-place measures being implemented, weekly viewership of those channels among 2- to 11-year-olds had been plummeting an average of 25% since the start of 2020.

“Even though the rate of decline significantly decelerated, it’s still in negative territory even though time available in front of TV is arguably as large as it can be,” wrote Bernstein analyst Todd Juenger on Monday. “It’s very likely that kids’ linear TV continues to lose significant share vs. other forms of entertainment, namely [subscription video on demand] services and video games.”

For comparison, looking at viewership metrics that span the entire day (which is how kids cable network viewing is tracked), broadcast network viewership rose 9% and cable tune-in increased 2%, said the firm. (By their usual primetime-only measurements, broadcast was flat vs. last year, while cable slid 10%, with ESPN in particular taking a massive knock from the lack of live sports on TV.)

By Juenger’s count, the week of March 23 was the second week that major U.S. metropolitan areas felt the impact of stay-at-home coronavirus guidance, though most states didn’t issue official advisories until at least mid- to late March — California ordered residents to shelter in place beginning March 19, Illinois on March 21, New York on March 22, Washington state on March 23, Virginia on March 25, and Texas on April 2, for instance. Nielsen data from the first week of April should show an even fuller picture of how much linear TV people are watching while in lockdown mode.

Attempts at homeschooling aside, parents have options for keeping preschoolers and grade schoolers from bouncing off the walls. The last few weeks have seen museums, zoos, educational organizations and entertainment outlets alike offer up a bevy of distance-learning resources to keep kids preoccupied while in the house. National Geographic, for one, launched NatGeo@Home, while PBS Kids created a weekday newsletter filled with suggested activities. Nickelodeon rolled out a multiplatform initiative, #KidsTogether, that includes short-form videos of, say, SpongeBob practicing social distancing.

Last week’s viewership stats mean that even with the nation’s children home from school for the time being and the New York Times allowing that parents can “Just Give Them the Screens (for Now),” linear cable is in a challenged spot.

Cartoon Network viewing fell 6.2% from the prior-year for the week of March 23. ViacomCBS-owned Nickelodeon saw a 15% year-over-year drop in viewership and Nicktoons slid around 12-13%, while Nick Jr. popped nearly 25%.

The dip in the former two Nick channels can arguably be chalked up to the platform and not the content: In March, Nickelodeon’s “The Legend of Korra” and “Danny Phantom” were among the children’s series with the highest volume of streams and time spent on subscription streaming service CBS All Access, alongside “Bob the Builder.” And Nickelodeon’s Noggin app saw 11% month-over-month growth in paid subscribers in March and a 40% jump in free trial sign-ups.

CBS All Access, which just a few months ago ventured into the kid programming space (including originals), tells Variety it has seen a more than 30% month-over-month increase in both daily average streams and time spent watching children’s programming in March. “Polly Pocket,” “Strawberry Shortcake’s Berry Bitty Adventure” and “Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?” are seeing their “largest percentage growth to date,” per a spokesperson for the service. (Overall, All Access says March was its most-streamed month in existence.)

Meanwhile, Disney Plus is seeing a bump in interest as well. While the five-month-old streamer has not released viewership data, Google Trends shows a spike in searches for the service on March 13 — the day that the Walt Disney Co. announced that it would release the movie “Frozen 2” to the streaming service three months earlier than planned, in order to offer “some fun and joy during this challenging period.” (Netflix declined to comment on its viewership trends over the past month.)

But it’s not all bad news for traditional cablers. At least for Disney, a focus on its new streamer doesn’t seem to be detracting from its linear cable presence; Disney XD viewership notched up over 5% the week of March 23 — a reversal in trend from the weeks leading up to that.

From Forbes:

ViacomCBS’ Downward Spiral Is Accelerating As Talk Of Unraveling Grows

Just a few months ago, Shari Redstone was basking in the triumph of a lifetime. After decades of lawsuits, bitter sniping, cruel insults and brutal boardroom warfare, the 65-year-old billionaire’s daughter had wrested control of her father’s media empire from a coterie of powerful enemies, putting a newly merged ViacomCBS under her control.

Newly ensconced in her father’s old office, 52 stories above New York’s Times Square, Redstone—once belittled as a “daddy’s girl”—had battled her way to a legitimate claim of being the media industry’s most powerful woman. Six months later, that victory lap has turned into a strenuous uphill climb. And the coronavirus pandemic has just handed her a large bag of rocks.

“The merger was a huge mistake,” says Craig Huber, of Huber Research Partners. “They should have sold Viacom many years ago, rather than saddle CBS with it.”

The combined businesses issued their first report card in February, delivering a loss from continued operations of $273 million on revenue of $6.9 billion, a 3% drop over the prior year. They’ve also lagged behind their peers in launching a subscription streaming service that could compete with Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, NBCUniversal’s Peacock and Warner Media’s HBO Max.

Future reports were not expected to be much better even before coronavirus lockdowns put a freeze on entertainment and sports businesses. Then came the cancellation of the NCAA’s March Madness basketball tournament and with it ad revenue of more than $1 billion, which would have been divided between the two rights holders, CBS and Turner.

“The underlying problem here is that, despite $28 billion in revenues, the company generates a paltry amount of free cash flow,” the research firm MoffettNathanson wrote in a report published March 27. “It is mind-boggling to figure out where the cash flow is actually.”

It’s not likely to be found soon. The Paramount film studio can’t make movies right now, nor can it collect revenue from showing those that it has produced since theaters are largely closed. Furthermore, veteran media analyst Harold Vogel wrote last week that the company’s $18.7 billion of debt at year-end was “too high for comfort,” with $800 million of it coming due in the next year. “Cash flow in support of this debt is a relative trickle of what it ought to be at this stage,” he wrote.

Pressure is mounting for management to act. The problem is there are few good options.

ViacomCBS shares plummeted 18% the day after the February earnings report came out and have fallen another 48% since. Valued at about $25 billion after the merger, the combined businesses are now trading at a market capitalization of less than $10 billion. There are plans underway to sell off its book publishing arm, Simon & Schuster, but many are advocating the sale of far larger assets, like Showtime Networks or Paramount (whose titles include Top Gun, Mission Impossible and Star Trek), to shore up its balance sheet.

Neither is likely without a struggle, considering how former CEO Philippe Dauman fell out of favor with Sumner Redstone when he suggested in 2016 that Sumner sell a piece of Paramount, reportedly at a valuation as high as $5.5 billion. Any major transaction would also require signoff from Shari Redstone, who spent years fighting to combine and ultimately control the businesses.

“That was always Sumner’s issue, is that he fought so hard to put everything together that he never wanted to take it apart,” says another former Viacom executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “I think that Shari probably feels the same way.”

In addition to the woes at Paramount, cable networks Nickelodeon and MTV, once at the pinnacle of cultural relevance, are bleeding viewers. As of February, Nickelodeon had lost 44% of its audience in the past five years; MTV has also hemorrhaged viewers and revenue and is working to rebuild. The profitability of CBS’ legacy networks (almost entirely Showtime) dropped 8% in 2018 and 22% in the first nine months of 2019, according to MoffettNathanson, while last year it increased production volume by 30%, a move the research firm called “largely ill advised.”

On ViacomCBS’ February earnings call, CEO Bob Bakish admitted that Showtime was a “working capital headwind for the company” in 2019, but emphasized that he planned to improve cost efficiency across the business.

ViacomCBS declined to comment for this story.

Adding to cost pressures are the upcoming negotiations for the rights to air NFL football on CBS and a network carriage deal with Dish, the U.S. satellite network, both critical gets. CBS has a 10-year NFL agreement that expires in 2023 and may need to be renegotiated sooner, a scenario with “no good outcome,” according to Huber. Either it will lose out on the right to air games—a disaster—or it will pay huge fees, which will further eat into margins.

Meanwhile, past deals by CBS to provide some of its premium content to Netflix, including NCIS and Criminal Minds, “likely played a role in their own demise,” according to MoffettNathanson, by limiting the appeal of CBS All Access, the company’s flagship streaming service, which has 16 million paying subscribers.

The bright spots are few. Management shake-ups have slowed and Redstone has a seemingly solid partnership with Bob Bakish, a Viacom veteran who took over as CEO in 2016. Pluto TV, the ad-supported streaming service Viacom bought last year for $340 million expects to end 2020 with 30 million (unpaid) monthly active users, compared to at least 28 million current subscribers at Disney+ and over 167 million at Netflix, which are collecting monthly fees from all of them. Hulu, also controlled by Disney, has more than 30 million paying subscribers. Still, ViacomCBS enjoys sustained cultural relevance overseas with the likes of Nickelodeon and MTV, including in Europe and South America.

Help could come from a viable new film franchise that could challenge Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, or the DC Comics superhero films from Warner Bros., for instance. Or one of the networks could find a breakthrough television show. But ViacomCBS is already spending $13 billion on new programming, roughly the same spend as Netflix, which is now calling the shots in Hollywood. In recent years Netflix has put out groundbreaking content like Stranger Things, Marriage Story, Tiger King and Narcos.

The company could also stem some of the bleeding by merging CBS All Access with a competitor like NBCUniversal’s Peacock or Hulu. The conglomerate has a more existential problem, though, being a “pigmy among giants,” according to Vogel, which has left it looking like a sitting duck for a well-funded buyer like Amazon, Apple or Netflix, or even a hedge fund that may see value in buying the whole thing and chopping it up for parts.

Said one large ViacomCBS shareholder in a February email to Forbes: “Almost certainly the sum of the parts valuation here is well in excess [of] like double the public market value of the stock.”

“The realization of Shari’s quest to merge Viacom and CBS is now completely irrelevant,” adds a former board member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “What the company needs to do urgently is to shore up its weak financial position by eliminating its dividend, following Disney’s lead in cutting executive compensation, and selling assets. The survival of ViacomCBS as a viable media player, or even as a viable company, is at stake.”

The largest recipient of those dividend payments is National Amusements, which is already facing liquidity pressure. Primarily in the movie theater business, it has been largely shut down to avoid the spread of coronavirus. According to S&P Global Ratings, which downgraded the firm’s credit rating earlier this month, National Amusements is “dependent on its dividend income to service its debt.” S&P adds that the company “could face a potential liquidity crisis if theaters remain closed beyond August.”

The fate of National Amusements is critical. It holds a 79% voting stake in ViacomCBS. Sumner—96 and ailing—has an 80% stake in National Amusements, which will be divided in two on his passing. Half will go to half for the benefit of his descendants, whose trustees will include Shari and her son as well as others with long ties to members of the family, including divorce lawyers for Sumner and his former wife, Phyllis, and a National Amusements executive. The other trust will be for the benefit of Phyllis.

Shari Redstone is showing no signs of backing down. She purchased $2 million worth of ViacomCBS shares in the last two months and, as she told us in September when discussing her battle for the family business, not one who worries much about outside opinions: “No matter how hard or challenging it got, I tried to keep my head down, fight for what was right and not read the press.”

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Something for Everyone: Specialty Cable Networks Thrive During Quarantine

Channels ranging from TLC to Nickelodeon have seen their audiences grow with millions more potential viewers at home.

Channels ranging from TLC to Nickelodeon have seen their audiences grow with millions more potential viewers at home.
Over the first three episodes of its current season, TLC's 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days was averaging 2.76 million viewers on Sunday nights.

In the four subsequent episodes — the first of which coincides with the early da widespread stay-home mandates during the novel coronavirus pandemic — the show has averaged 3.37 million viewers, a growth of 22 percent. The April 12 edition clocked in at 3.5 million viewers, out-drawing everything on cable that day.

TV usage has surged during the coronavirus quarantines, with millions more potential viewers at home than would be under normal circumstances. While numbers have leveled off some after an initial surge, total TV usage is still up by more than 25 percent compared to the first week of March, before stay-home orders went into effect in much of the United States.

The larger viewer pool has led to increased ratings across the TV landscape, from network evening news to Netflix. Specialized cable networks have seen their audiences surge as well, with a number of them experiencing double-digit growth in recent weeks.

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days has grown its audience every week it's been on this season and is on pace to be the most-watched season of any show in the franchise, thanks in no small part to the jump in viewers the past four weeks. It's indicative of the viewer rise across niche networks, from its Discovery stablemates Food Network and HGTV to kid-focused channels like Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. Below is a snapshot of how several networks are performing in recent weeks.

Comfort Food

From March 16-April 7, ratings for Food Network were up 19 percent vs. the same time a year ago in the network's key demo of adults 25-54, and up 27 percent vs. the previous weeks.

Daytime and weekend viewership has grown at an even higher rate, with weekdays rising by 38 percent over their 2019 levels and a huge 63 percent over the pre-quarantine weeks. On weekends, viewing is up by more than 40 percent vs. both last year and pre-virus levels.

The cabler has also changed up its daytime programming some, offering marathons of some of its popular franchises in addition to the instructional shows that usually make up the bulk the of daytime slate.

Corporate sibling HGTV, meanwhile, has seen its weekday afternoon viewing grow by 27 percent over the prior six weeks, while weekends are up 15 percent.

Gaming the Old-School Way

Game console use is up considerably since early March — and so is viewing of game shows via the Game Show Network. GSN, which airs a mix of original and classic shows, has seen its total-day audience grow by 87,000 viewers — a jump of 30 percent — since March 16, compared to its first-quarter average. Primetime is up by 127,000 viewers, a 34 percent gain. GSN is in about 64 million homes.

More News

Network evening news and cable news channels have soared in recent weeks, with the former accounting for some the most-watched telecasts across all of Nielsen-rated TV in the past month.

The gains have extended to BBC World News, which is in about 40 million homes in the U.S. It's not rated by Nielsen, but independent analytics company 605 estimates that the channel's total-day household ratings rose by 36 percent in March, compared to the previous month, while primetime ratings spiked by 36 percent. In the key news demo of adults 25-54, ratings were up by more than 40 percent, per 605.

Those improvements outpace the gains for all other cable news channels, save for CNN, during the same period. On average, according to 605 data, cable news household ratings rose 25 percent in March for total day and 17 percent for primetime.

History Marathons Score

History Channel programs a lot of marathons during daytime hours and on weekends, from Pawn Stars to Hunting Hitler. The strategy has paid off during quarantine, with daytime viewing up 12 percent over the past four weeks compared to the first-quarter average and weekends up 16 percent.

The gains have spilled into primetime as well, where docuseries The Curse of Oak Island drew its biggest audience in more than a year — 3.6 million viewers — on March 31. New non-fiction series The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch averaged 2.1 million same-day viewers over its first two episodes, History's best nonfiction debut in two years.

What the Kids Are Watching

Some of the biggest gains in TV usage in the past month have come among kids who are no longer attending school — kids under 12 had up to 50 percent more screen time during school closures.

Those numbers are reflected in ratings for Nickelodeon and Disney Channel: Nick and Disney are both up by more than 30 percent in the past four weeks vs. the month before that among their core viewers.

Nickelodeon has officially welcomed Garfield the lasagne-loving cat to the Nickelodeon family!:


"The purrfect new addition to the Nick fam 😼 Welcome @Garfield!" Nick posted on Instagram.


ViacomCBS, through one of its subsidiaries, announced in August last year that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Paws, Inc., the entity holding global intellectual property rights to the Garfield and the U.S. Acres (a.k.a. Orson’s Farm) franchises--including corresponding rights related to content, consumer products, and location-based experiences for the Nickelodeon portfolio.

The acquisition of Garfield is part of Nickelodeon’s strategy to be the home for the biggest franchises kids and families love, and it expands Nickelodeon’s growing portfolio of influential properties that already includes SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Blue’s Clues & You!, and The Adventures of Paddington series, as well as the the forthcoming first-ever SpongeBob spinoff, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, Big Nate and all-new animated Star Trek.
