Nickelodeon Germany Set To Go Multilingual

The entertainment news website C21Media is reporting the Nickelodeon North News that Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Northern Europe are planning to make Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland) multilingual and will begin broadcasting some of the networks' series in English when the channel starts to broadcast 24/7 in October 2014! It is currently unknown whether Nickelodeon Switzerland (Schweiz) and Nickelodeon Austria (Österreich), also part of Nickelodeon Northern Europe, will also start airing shows in English when they switch to a 24-hour broadcast schedule at the same time as Nick Germany. You can read the full article here on the official C21 Media website (paid subscription required).

In additional Nickelodeon Europe news, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) is moving its channel distribution licences from the Czech Republic to the Netherlands, reports Broadband TV News.

Quoting Agnieszka Odachowska, the communications manager for VIMN in Poland, Wirtualne Media reports the decision to do so is the next step in VIMN's restructuring, adding that a few years ago several lines of business were moved to specific territories. Programming, for instance, was localised in the Netherlands. The channel licence move began several weeks ago with the services contained in the MTV Unlimited package and most recently saw Viacom Blink! obtain a licence from the Dutch regulator Commissariaat voor de Media. Next up will be Viva Polska, MTV Polska, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. They have been licensed by the Czech Republic's RRTV since 2009, prior to which they held licences awarded by Ofcom.
