Nickelodeon Group
Nickelodeon Group (also known as Nickelodeon Networks Inc. and as its family distribution name Paramount Kids and Family Group, or simply Nickelodeon or Nick), is an American company, as a children’s and family entertainment arm of Paramount Skydance Corporation through its Paramount Media Networks division that oversees cable television channels (including its flagship service Nickelodeon).
Nickelodeon Group was founded in 2002, after MTV Networks (now Paramount Media Networks) merged the business operations of Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite and Nicktoons into one division.
On January 4, 2006, Herb Scannell resigned from Nickelodeon. Cyma Zarghami was appointed in his place as president of the newly formed Kids & Family Group, which included Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, Noggin, The N, Nicktoons Network, TV Land, CMT, and CMT Pure Country.
In 2007, Nickelodeon entered into a four-year development deal with Sony Music to produce music-themed TV shows for the network, to help fund and launch tie-in albums, and to produce original soundtrack songs that could be released as singles. The Naked Brothers Band, a rock-mockumentary series of a pre-teenage rock band led by two real-life brothers who write and perform the songs, ran from 2007 to 2009; it was successful for children in the 6–11 age group. By February 2007, the band's song "Crazy Car" had appeared on the Billboard Hot 100, and the soundtrack albums from the first two seasons, each of which signed to Columbia Records, appeared on the Billboard 200. The only greenlit series produced under the Sony Music partnership, Victorious, ran from 2010 to 2013. A similar hit music-themed sitcom Big Time Rush ran from 2009 to 2013, and featured a similar partnership with Columbia Records; however, Columbia was only involved with the show's music, and Sony Music became involved with the series' production midway through its first season. It became Nickelodeon's second-most successful live-action show of all time after iCarly; the Big Time Rush episode "Big Time School of Rocque" was viewed by 6.8 million viewers for its premiere on January 18, 2010, setting a new record as the highest-rated live action series premiere in the channel's history.
On February 1, 2009, Nickelodeon discontinued the TEENick block, as the name would soon be used for its own channel.
On July 29, 2009, Nickelodeon unveiled a new logo that would be implemented toward the end of the year, designed by New York City–based creative director/designer Eric Zim. It was part of a year dedicated to strengthening the brand's identity. The logo was intended to create a unified look that can better be conveyed across all of MTV Networks' children's channels. The new logo debuted on September 28, 2009, across Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, and Nicktoons, along with TeenNick (which replaced The N and named after the TEENick block) and Nick Jr. Channel (which replaced Noggin and named after the concurrently-running Nick Jr. block).
The wordmark logo bug was given a blimp background in the days prior to the 2010 and 2011 Kids' Choice Awards to match the award given out at the ceremony; beginning the week of September 7, 2010, the logo bug was surrounded by a splat design (in the manner of the logo used from 2005 to 2009) during new episodes of Nickelodeon original series. The new logo was adopted in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2010, in Spain on February 19, 2010, in Southeast Asia on March 15, 2010, in Latin America on April 5, 2010, in India on June 25, 2010 and on the ABS-CBN block "Nickelodeon on ABS-CBN" in the Philippines on July 26, 2010. On November 2, 2009, a Canadian version of Nickelodeon was launched, in partnership between Viacom and Corus Entertainment (owners of YTV, which had aired and continued to air Nickelodeon's series); as a result, versions of Nickelodeon now exist in most of North America.
In October 2009 and September 2010, respectively, Viacom acquired the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Winx Club franchises into the Nickelodeon family. Nickelodeon Animation Studio produced a new CGI-animated Turtles series and new seasons of Winx Club with CGI sequences. Both productions comprised Nickelodeon's strategy to reboot two established brands for new viewers: TMNT was intended to reach an audience of boys aged 6 to 11, and Winx was aimed at the same age group of girls. In February 2011, Viacom acquired a third of Rainbow SpA, the Italian studio that introduced Winx Club. The purchase was valued at 62 million euros (US$83 million) and led to new shows being co-developed by Rainbow and Nickelodeon, including My American Friend and Club 57. Also in 2011, Nickelodeon debuted House of Anubis, a series based on the Nickelodeon Netherlands series Het Huis Anubis, which became the first original scripted series to be broadcast in a daily strip (similar to the soap opera format). Produced in the United Kingdom, it was also the first original series by the flagship U.S. channel to be produced entirely outside of North America.
