Craig Erwich, the Senior Vice President (SVP) and head of content of Hulu, has today, Tuesday 28th October 2014, announced the very exciting Nickelodeon News in a post on Hulu's official blog that the company has expanded its agreement with Viacom to continue bringing users thousands of episodes from some of Viacom's most popular series, including classic and current programming from Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids and families!


As part of their extended agreement, which begun in 2011, Hulu will be adding top titles from Nickelodeon to their Hulu Kids offering over the next few weeks, allowing viewers to be able to stream episodes of classic Nickelodeon series such as "Invader Zim", "The Ren & Stimpy Show", "Drake & Josh", "Hey Arnold!", and many more.

Additionally, to all of the great English-language programming that will be available, Hulu will also be expanding their offering of Latino programming for kids by adding a handful of family-friendly Nickelodeon titles such as "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in Spanish to Hulu:
More Episodes from Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, and more coming to Hulu

October 28th, 2014 by Craig Erwich Senior Vice President, Head of Content


When we launched our first major agreement with Viacom in 2011, shows like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report quickly became top shows on Hulu. Three years later, these shows – as well as many more from the Viacom family of networks – still remain among the most popular series on Hulu. Therefore, it was a natural choice for us to extend that relationship with Viacom to bring fan-favorite kids titles, comedy series and reality series from networks including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, TVLand, Spike, BET and Logo to Hulu.

Today, I am excited to share the news that we are extending our partnership with Viacom –to continue bringing thousands of episodes from some of Viacom's most popular series and a selection of kids content to Hulu. We will be adding top titles from Nickelodeon to our Hulu Kids offering that have never before been made available to stream on Hulu. That means that, soon, viewers will be able to stream episodes of classic series such as Invader Zim, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Drake & Josh, Hey Arnold!, and many more.

Over the coming weeks, Hulu and Viacom will also be refreshing a library of past seasons from some of the funniest shows airing on television today. If you're a fan of hilarious comedy, you can watch full seasons of Key & Peele, Drunk History, Ridiculousness, Tosh.0, Kroll Show and Inside Amy Schumer, from your living room, on your lunch break or on-the-go with Hulu. If you need a reality TV-fix, you'll be able to binge watch Catfish, Ink Master, 16 & Pregnant, Teen Mom 2, Snooki & JWoww and more, and catch even more episodes of guilty pleasures like The Hills, The Jersey Shore, Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop, and Mob Wives. We are also adding select scripted series including Comedy Central's Workaholics, MTV's Faking It, and TVLand's Hot in Cleveland.

In addition to all of the great English-language programming that will be available, we will also be expanding our offering of Latino programming for kids by adding a handful of family-friendly Nickelodeon titles such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Spanish to Hulu.

The great selection of in-season programming from across the networks that we've had on Hulu for the past several years will remain. Hulu will continue to be a go-to destination to stream The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, as well as the final season of one of my all-time favorites, The Colbert Report. New episodes of MTV's scripted series Awkward, Happyland, and many more will also continue to be available to stream.

All episodes will be added to Hulu over the next few weeks, giving you the perfect excuse to continue your fall TV binge. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Viacom and even more thrilled to be bringing these great shows to our Hulu viewers. Happy streaming.
Also, from Deadline.com:
Viacom Expands Program Offerings To Hulu

Today’s announcement doesn’t say how much Viacom will get as it expands the amount of programming it offers on Hulu. But the deal likely will contribute to the debate over whether the entertainment company’s streaming arrangements weaken its appeal to cable and satellite companies.

The update to the alliance which began in 2011 will add lots of Nickelodeon titles on Hulu. “That means that, soon, viewers will be able to stream episodes of classic series such as Invader Zim, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Drake & Josh, Hey Arnold!, and many more,” Hulu Head of Content Craig Erwich says in a blog post about the deal. Nickelodeon also will provide Spanish-language versions of series including SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The terms also add library episodes of shows from Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, BET, Logo, Spike, and TVLand. That will include full seasons of Key & Peele, Drunk History, Ridiculousness, Tosh.0, Kroll Show, Inside Amy Schumer, Catfish, Ink Master, 16 & Pregnant, Teen Mom 2, Snooki & JWoww, The Hills, The Jersey Shore, Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop, and Mob Wives. “We are also adding select scripted series including Comedy Central’s Workaholics, MTV’s Faking It, and TVLand’s Hot In Cleveland,” Erwich says.

He adds that Hulu “will continue to be a go-to destination to stream The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” and The Colbert Report. MTV’s Awkward and Happyland will be available in their current seasons but on a 21-day delay — not, as Hulu initially said, the day after new episodes air.

Viacom’s new deal follows the announcement that it will support Sony’s planned streaming service. Several small cable companies cited the easy availability of the company’s shows as one reason why they decided to do without its channels.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Honeywell Team Up With Tia Mowry-Hardrict To Launch Innovative Abduction Prevention Program

Halloween is a fun-filled time for kids and parents alike, but it is also a holiday that requires a mindset of being safe. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Honeywell Inc. have announced in the following press release, from PRNewswire, that they are teaming up with Nickelodeon Star Tia Mowry-Hardrict ("Instant Mom") to launch KidSmartz, a brand-new program that aims to keep kids safe on Halloween and all year-round!


According to the FBI, police received more than 400,000 reports of missing children last year in the United States. KidSmartz is a personal safety program that educates parents, teachers and other trusted adults and law enforcement about preventing abduction. The program empowers kids in grades K-5 to practice safer behaviors in ways that are fun, innovative and easy-to-implement.

Through the use of videos and engaging animations, KidSmartz helps teach critical safety information to children. The foundation of the KidSmartz curriculum focuses on the four rules of personal safety:

1. Check First
2. Take a Friend
3. Say "No" and Find Help
4. Tell a Trusted Adult

Parents, educators and other trusted adults can find instructional resources such as free classroom lesson plans, take-home printable materials for families, safety checklists and engaging and animated videos to empower kids to practice safer behaviors and reinforce the four rules of personal safety.

KidSmartz reinvents the concepts and methods developed in 2005 for the "Got 2B Safe! Think Smart and Take Charge" program, Honeywell's first nationwide classroom-based child abduction prevention program for third-graders launched in partnership with NCMEC. This fall Got2BSafe! will be expanded to impact even more children thanks to the next generation of the program — KidSmartz.

To encourage educators to utilize the official KidSmartz website, teachers who download the KidSmartz Education Toolkit will automatically be entered for a chance to win a USD$250 gift card that can be used for purchasing school supplies. Drawings will take place once a month through the end of the year.

The KidSmartz curriculum and related materials are available for download at www.KidSmartz.org. For more information, check out KidSmartz on Facebook and Twitter.

Original National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Honeywell Inc. Press Release:

KidSmartz Teaches Child Safety Rules Ahead of Halloween

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Honeywell Launch Innovative Abduction Prevention Program

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Halloween is a fun-filled time for kids and parents alike, but it is also a holiday that requires a mindset of being safe. Today, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Honeywell Inc. (NYSE: HON) are teaming up with Nickelodeon actress, Tia Mowry, to launch KidSmartz™, a new program that aims to keep kids safe on Halloween and all year-round.

According to the FBI, police received more than 400,000 reports of missing children last year in the United States. KidSmartz is a personal safety program that educates parents, teachers and other trusted adults and law enforcement about preventing abduction. The program empowers kids in grades K-5 to practice safer behaviors in ways that are fun, innovative and easy-to-implement.

"We have been analyzing attempted abductions for almost a decade and have learned a lot about the risks kids face and the strategies they can use to stay safe," said John Ryan, president and CEO of NCMEC. "Thanks to Honeywell, its employees and the support of Tia, we have an opportunity to share this potentially life-saving knowledge through the KidSmartz program."

Through the use of videos and engaging animations, KidSmartz helps teach critical safety information to children. The foundation of the KidSmartz curriculum focuses on the four rules of personal safety:

1. Check First
2. Take a Friend
3. Say "No" and Find Help
4. Tell a Trusted Adult

"Halloween presents a great opportunity to discuss safety with our kids," said Tia Mowry. "KidSmartz provides the tools that parents, teachers and law enforcement need to address a scary topic, but in a way that's fun and entertaining for kids. As a mom, I know that preparing for a night of trick-or-treating can be hectic, but taking a few minutes to talk with our kids about the four rules can make a difference in keeping them safe on Halloween — and every day of the year."

Parents, educators and other trusted adults can find instructional resources such as free classroom lesson plans, take-home printable materials for families, safety checklists and engaging and animated videos to empower kids to practice safer behaviors and reinforce the four rules of personal safety.

KidSmartz reinvents the concepts and methods developed in 2005 for the "Got 2B Safe! Think Smart and Take Charge" program, Honeywell's first nationwide classroom-based child abduction prevention program for third-graders launched in partnership with NCMEC. This fall Got2BSafe! will be expanded to impact even more children thanks to the next generation of the program — KidSmartz.

"For 10 years we've partnered with NCMEC to keep a watch over our nation's children and supply them with resources that can help them recognize and avoid dangerous situations," said Tom Buckmaster, President, Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company's corporate social responsibility organization. "I'm proud of what we have already accomplished with Got2Bsafe! and hope to continue that success with the KidSmartz program by reaching more children, parents and teachers."

To encourage educators to utilize the site, teachers who download the KidSmartz Education Toolkit will automatically be entered for a chance to win a $250 gift card that can be used for purchasing school supplies. Drawings will take place once a month through the end of the year.

The KidSmartz curriculum and related materials are available for download at www.KidSmartz.org. For more information, check out KidSmartz on Facebook and Twitter.
