"Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn", greenlit for 13 episodes, is the story of a 10-year-old girl Dawn Harper (Lizzy Greene), a born leader whose sibling rivalry with her three brothers is heightened by the fact that they are quadruplets who have wildly different personalities. Aidan Gallagher ("Modern Family") plays the germaphobic Nicky, joined by Casey Simpson ("The Goldbergs") as the overachieving and unbelievably smart Ricky, and Mace Coronel ("Bold and the Beautiful") as the pint-sized ladies man, Dicky. Brian Stepanek ("Two and a Half Men") and Allison Munn ("What I Like About You") star as the Haley parents. The series is created by Matt Fleckenstein ("Wendell & Vinnie", "iCarly", "Victorious") and executive produced by Fleckenstein and Michael Feldman ("See Dad Run"). Even though they seem different on the outside, there couldn't be a more tight-knit group.

Tina McCann Talks About Children's TV On BBC Radio 4's "Woman's Hour"

Tina McCann, the Senior Vice President (SVP) and Managing Director (MD) of Nickelodeon UK, the number one commercial kids TV network in the UK, today, Friday 12th September 2014, took part in a live panel discussion on BBC Radio 4's "Woman's Hour" about children's television!

Over the last 50 years, the UK has built a reputation for producing some of the most high quality children's programming in the world, including "Listen With Mother", "Thomas the Tank Engine", "Grange Hill", "Blue Peter" and the "Teletubbies". For many years children were happy to sit comfortably and watch with mother, but the last decade has seen enormous changes in children's television viewing. It's currently estimated that around 71% of under 12 year old's have access to a tablet device for viewing.

As part of the live panel discussion, Tina joined fellow leading women in the children's TV industry - Kay Benbow, Controller & Portfolio Head at CBeebies; Anne Wood, Head of Ragdoll Productions, creator of the "Teletubbies"; and Anna Home, Chief Executive, Children's Film and Television Foundation - and presenter Jenni Murray to discuss the current state of children's television, including shows such as Nick Jr. UK's celebrated preschool series "Lily's Driftwood Bay", and, with an increasing range of technology available and a growing number of dedicated children's channels, its future and how children are changing the ways in which they view television.

You can listen to Tina McCann taking part in "Woman's Hour"'s Children's Television debate here on iPlayer Radio!

In 1993 she became the first employee of Turner Entertainment Broadcasting in EMEA as Programming Director and launched 17 channels (including Cartoon Network and Boomerang) in multiple languages.
