Original Nickelodeon UK Press Release:
NICKELODEON UK & IRELAND LAUNCHES NICK AT NITE
New Programming Block Focuses on Audiences Aged 11-15 with Bespoke Branding and Programming including Daily Editorial Celebrity News Bulletin, The Scoop
London, 27th June, 2016 – Nickelodeon UK & Ireland today launches
Nick at Nite, a new programming block for eleven to 15 year olds.
Nick at Nite airs weekday evenings from 7pm and includes the new daily editorial bulletin,
The Scoop; covering everything teen and tween audiences need to know from the worlds of celebrity, entertainment, music and style.
"Nick at Nite gives us a huge opportunity to reach older audiences that have felt underserved by the current offering on kids' networks," said
Alison Bakunowich, General Manager, Nickelodeon UK & Ireland. "From the programming on offer, to the vibrant brand identity, we hope that Nick at Nite will become a destination for tweens and teens, offering them a compelling schedule that reflects their experience and interests."
Pulling from the graphic styles of social media and instant messaging, the
Nick at Nite branding reflects the high-energy and immediate world of its target audience. Created by the Nickelodeon UK & Ireland Creative team, led by Senior Graphic Designer Yeen Trinh, the
Nick at Night branding includes bright interstitials, menus and bumpers as well as a set of original Nickelodeon emoticon graphics.
As part of
Nick at Night, Nickelodeon will unveil
The Scoop, a daily entertainment news bulletin produced in-house by the Nickelodeon UK Creative team. Every weekday
The Scoop's 90-second bulletins will cover celebrity, music and entertainment news as well as style and trend stories. The Scoop will be supported online with an editorial microsite,
thescoop.nick.co.uk. Across social media, The Scoop and
Nick at Nite will be reinforced through Nickelodeon's existing Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels.
In addition to
The Scoop, programming featured in the Nick at Nite block include the soap opera
Neighbours which launched on the network in April as well as
The Middle and Nickelodeon shows
See Dad Run,
Instant Mom and
True Jackson VP with new programming being unveiled in the coming weeks.
Nick at Nite also has the potential to live beyond screens with on-the ground activations and promotional partnerships. Potential commercial partners interested in opportunities to work with Nick at Nite should contact the Nickelodeon Commercial and New Business team for more information.
