Nick Jr. international is entering the Splat Zone

During the year, Nickelodeon unveiled a brand new on air look which saw the rebrand reprise one of their iconic logos and give it a more iconic feel. This format was duplicated across several platforms with some areas reprising their previous logos over the updated design.

Following the rebrand, consumers were curious as to when or if Paramount plans to update their designs toward their Nick Jr. and Nicktoons brands. As for right now, Nick Jr. logo's has been updated but this is applicable to consumers in the United States and France.

France being the first international region to unveil the Splat on Nick Jr. particularly on social platforms hints at the rollout of the iconic logo in other countries. Although a date has yet to be released we presume before end of 2023 if not by the end of the festive season.

Big Brains Naija coming soon to DStv???

Nigerian-South African-based businessman Charles Awuzie has proposed the Big Brains Naija reality television show as an intellectual alternative to the ongoing Big Brother Naija show. The reality show is said to handled in Nigeria unlike Big Brother which is based in France.

In a Facebook post, Awuzie revealed that negotiations are underway with several broadcasters including DStv for the game show. Should DStv acquire rights to Big Brain Naija it will likely be distributed by Africa Magic as seen with Idols and Big Brother.

Big Brains Naija is a rewarding programme that grants prizes to winners from different categories on a weekly, monthly, and annual basis. The programme is a brain challenge that tends to keep the mind alert through a series of questions and answers in a quiz format.

Maisha Magic Plus is coming to DStv Access

Last month, it was reported that MultiChoice would discontinue Maisha Magic Movies to its entirety in the coming weeks. This comes after the channel was ripped away from DStv customers in South Africa and in place was British entertainment channel, BBC UKTV.

Now a similar fate await awaits consumers in East Africa as MultiChoice unveiled two local dramas Zari and Ka-Siri for the Maisha Magic Plus brand in a campaign known as Tumefungulia Magic which will see these shows being made accessible to DStv Access and GOtv Plus.

"As industry players, we are delighted to have partners like MultiChoice who allow Kenyans tell their own stories that are authentic are speak to the cultural and societal nuances that are alive in them while creating jobs for actors, actresses, chefs, transporters, real estate owners, make-up artists, video editors, sound producers, camera crew, set designers among others in the film ecosystem.”
