RUMOUR. TeenNick Might Be Replaced By Nicktoons In Latin America

The TeenNick channel recently adopted the new Splat graphic to align with the new global identity of the Nickelodeon brand. According to rumors, Paramount Global could discontinue the commercialization of TeenNick in the region and return to the Nicktoons channel, which is dedicated exclusively to broadcasting cartoons. 

Nicktoons already existed in Latin America, but stopped being commercialized in 2020 to make way for NickMusic, using the American music channel signal until today. Later, it was discovered that the channel never stopped broadcasting in Latin Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Now, Paramount seems to be reconsidering taking advantage of this signal, which is generated from the European subsidiary of the company. 

The user Nick Latam Promos revealed on X/Twitter that the Mexican cable operator Izzi has a new program for Nicktoons that will go into effect from July 19 at 21:00 hrs MEX, 22:00 hrs COL/PER, 23:00 hrs CHI/ FRI y 00:00hrs ARG . Until now, no other cable operator has updated its programming for the advanced dates of July, so this information should still be taken with caution and not as official.

Nicktoons programming includes series like "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Loud House", "The Casagrandes", "ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (2012), "The Twisted Timeline Of Sammy & Raj", and "The Patrick Star Show", due to the relaunch of the channel in Latin America, would make its debut on the region's pay TV. the region. 

On the other hand, the programming of Nicktoons from the 19th of July was recently updated in the system, which increases the certainty of the information. 

In addition, the signals of Nickelodeon for Panregional and Brazil will receive a new programming, with fewer hours dedicated to live-actions, similar to the grid of the Mexican signal. This, along with the rumor of the return of Nicktoons, could be part of an effort by Paramount to give greater priority to animated series in the region.

"Enter The Splat Zone": Paramount Rebrands Nicktoons In The UK, Might Rebrand Alongside TeenNick In Parts Of Europe And Africa In The Coming Weeks

In 2023, Nickelodeon revived one of their iconic logos "The Splat" and incorporated it with the current font of the brand. A year after its rollout, there's still various countries that have yet to go Splat as Nicktoons in the UK rebranded earlier in the week.

As reported by NickALive, the rebrand occurred on Worker's Day being May 1st in parts of UK & Ireland. Based on Nickelodeon’s recently launched Splat logo, the rebrand includes new on-air graphics such as bumpers, promos and idents.

Last year, MultiChoice and Paramount had reached a new agreement which would see Nickelodeon in the rest of Southern Africa switch to high definition. This was also accompanied by the revamped Splat logo which was introduced months prior.

At the time, it was also stated that Nicktoons and Nick Jr. would undergo a rebrand before the end of 2023. None of which come to pass as Nick Jr. was only fortunate to go Splat by February of this year (due to globalization) with Nicktoons that has yet to switch.

Insiders report that the designs of Nicktoons and TeenNick's global feeds might be updated by May 20th. Although, that's still awaiting confirmation 

most feeds are aligned or handled within the UK so the timeframe of the rebrand would only seem logical.

This may more likely include the Nicktoons feed in Africa cause as mentioned part of the feed is globalized with some local variations. It was long speculated after the feed had switched from the U.S. graphic designs to the one situated in parts of Europe. 

Development Alert (Rumour): TeenNick To Fold Under The Nickelodeon Teen Trademark In European Countries Including Germany, Austria And Switzerland

TeenNick is a teen oriented entertainment channel operated by Paramount Global and spinoff to Nickelodeon. It is home to various live-action shows formerly seen on Nickelodeon such as Victorious and Zoey 101 alongside animated such as Hey Arnold!.

Although TeenNick is not viewable in most of parts of Africa, the channel has managed to build its presence in MENA, Greece, Israel, Hungary, Latin America, Poland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Romania.

According to a story on Parabola, Paramount Global had filed a new trademark for the network later in the week known as Nickelodeon Teen. This trademark is already in use by the company in France and from the looks of it could be carried in Europe.

The name change is said to be an effort by Paramount Global to strengthen its core brand among children and young audiences. Of course, what's strange about this is why they opted to incorporate a localized trademark as opposed to TeenNick.

In recent years, global businesses tend to operate independently from their main feed. It's likely that Nickelodeon Teen is being added in these countries due to its success in France and another being a globalization as seen with sister networks, MTV and Nick Jr.

New Mickey Mouse game is in development

Nightmare Forge games has announced Infestation 88, a new 1-4 player survival horror co-op game that aims to infuse nostalgia with terror (in the vein of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey) by twisting the now-in-the-public-domain Steamboat Willie into something much scarier. It's in development for PC.

The developers describe it as such: "In the year 1988, what was thought to be an outbreak of rodents in various locations morphed into something far more sinister." Sometimes you'll need to fight, sometimes you'll need to run, and sometimes you'll need to hide in a locker. You can set traps and utilize CCTV cameras to try and stay one step ahead of the infestation, and item layouts are randomized in order to help keep matches fresh.
