Viacom has announced that they are acquiring AwesomenessTV Holdings, LLC (aka Awesomeness)! The media company and leading digital-first destination for original programming, has established an unparalleled connection to GenZ, which will live under Viacom Digital Studios (VDS) and play an important role in Viacom’s robust and growing premium content production ecosystem, drive additional growth at VDS, and strengthen Viacom’s established digital and social relationships and dominance in youth culture. Viacom has also announced that current AwesomenessTV CEO Jordan Levin, who has been with the company since May of 2017, will be leaving following a transition period post-acquisition.
AwesomenessTV Holdings, LLC (aka Awesomeness), a media company and leading digital-first destination for original programming, has established an unparalleled connection to GenZ – that coveted up-and-coming cohort born along with the tech revolution of the mid-1990s. Fed by strong relationships with top digital talent and influencers, Awesomeness has accumulated 6.4 million YouTube subscribers and another 158 million subscribers on its Awesomeness Network, becoming the premiere digital media network for the most digitally savvy cohort in history.
And now Viacom is acquiring Awesomeness, which will live under Viacom Digital Studios (VDS) and play an important role in Viacom’s robust and growing premium content production ecosystem, drive additional growth at VDS, and strengthen Viacom’s established digital and social relationships and dominance in youth culture.
“Awesomeness has done an incredible job building their brand into a digital media powerhouse for today’s most sought-after and hard-to-reach youth audiences,” said Kelly Day, President of Viacom Digital Studios and former Chief Business Officer of Awesomeness. “The team brings strong digital expertise, deep connections with top talent and influencers, and a robust branded content studio and creative agency that will accelerate the growth and scale of Viacom Digital Studios.”
Viacom is already a top player in youth culture, having curated strong audience connections with kids via Nickelodeon and young adults via MTV. The addition of Awesomeness’ young teen fan base further strengthens this broad demographic reach, while Awesomeness’ strong existing relationships with digital platforms, talent and influencers complements VDS’ existing efforts to reach these GenZ consumers on the mobile, social and digital platforms they call home.
While VDS has been growing briskly – more than tripling digital streams since 2016 and doubling YouTube subscribers over the past year, as total social views and watch time soared by 112 and 104 percent, respectively – Awesomeness’ dedicated sales force, branded content studio, and existing relationships with brands such as Hollister, Gatorade and Invisalign will further drive VDS’ growth and profitability. Awesomeness’ expertise across digital programming and distribution, production, talent management and audience development will also help fill out VDS’ still-growing staff.
With distribution deals with major SVOD players and its own Emmy-winning, youth-focused studios that have produced 200 hours of long-form television and feature film content, Awesomeness’ proven content development and production abilities are an especially good fit for Viacom, which has moved deliberately to ramp up its capabilities in this area recently: consolidating several operations across the Americas into Viacom International Studios to service global markets; moving to a studio model under which Nickelodeon, MTV and other brands will license and produce shows based on intellectual property for third-party platforms; and building Paramount Pictures’ Paramount Television production arm from scratch into a $400-million-and-growing annual business.
Awesomeness alumni have already been helping to power Viacom’s transformation in this increasingly digital and mobile age: VDS President Kelly Day, VDS Executive Vice President of Talent and Development Paula Kaplan, and Paramount Players President Brian Robbins – who co-founded Awesomeness in 2012 with Joe Davola – each joined Viacom directly from Awesomeness, a testament to that entity’s penchant for producing top-grade talent.
This September (сентябре) and October (октября), Nickelodeon Russia (Россия) will be premiering:

Below is Nickelodeon Россия's official press release announcing the exciting news!:
Опубликовано 13.09.2018
NICKELODEON РОССИЯ ПРЕДСТАВИТ 130 ЧАСОВ ПРЕМЬЕРНОГО КОНТЕНТА В НОВОМ СЕЗОНЕ
В сентябре Nickelodeon Россия покажет главную премьеру года: анимационное шоу «Эволюция Черепашек-ниндзя». В российской версии мультсериала героев озвучили популярные блогеры и звезды: Антон Комолов (Донателло), Евгений Чебатков (Лео), Gary (Микеланджело), ST (Раф) и Мари Сенн (Эйприл О’Нил). Шоу расскажет знакомую многим поколениям детей историю совершенно по-новому: в 2D-графике и с изменившимися персонажами и сюжетом. Действие переносится в мистический мир, где Черепашки-ниндзя получают сверхспособности и используют их для защиты Нью-Йорка от самых невероятных существ. Первая серия мультсерила «Эволюция Черепашек-ниндзя» выйдет в эфир Nickelodeon Россия 23 сентября в 11:00 по московскому времени.
Новые эпизоды будут ждать поклонников сериала «Я — Фрэнки». Его главная героиня — девочка-робот по имени Фрэнки — работает как новейший компьютер с мощной памятью, жестким диском и доступом в интернет. Фрэнки ходит в школу, как обыкновенная девочка, и никто, кроме членов ее семьи, не знает об этом секрете. Удастся ли Фрэнки найти настоящих друзей и стать своей в мире людей? Ответы на эти и другие вопросы зрители узнают из 22 серий, которые можно будет посмотреть на Nickelodeon Россия начиная с 8 октября в 16:50 по московскому времени.
Одной из самых ярких премьер этой осени станет комедийный сериал «Бюро магических дел». Новое шоу расскажет о приключениях девочки, которая случайно приобретает магические способности. Главная героиня открывает для себя тайный мистический мир и отправляется в школу волшебства. Здесь она сталкивается с серьезной угрозой как для магического, так и человеческого миров — героине предстоит объединить людей, фей и эльфов в одну команду, чтобы спасти всех от загадочной угрозы. Для дошкольников Nickelodeon Россия представит 5 сезон мультсериала «Щенячий патруль» и новые эпизоды анимационного шоу «Санни Дэй». Главные герои помогут детям развить лидерские навыки, научиться работать в команде и творчески подходить к решению любой задачи. Премьерные серии мультсериала «Щенячий патруль» на Nickelodeon Россия по воскресеньям с 16 сентября в 7:40 по московскому времени. Продолжение шоу «Санни Дэй» уже в эфире по выходным в 6:25 по московскому времени.
В новом сезоне мальчики и девочки увидят новые серии мультсериалов «Мистиконы» и «Мой шумный дом». Из шоу юные зрители узнают о том, как найти выход из непростых ситуаций благодаря смекалке и оптимизму. «Мистиконы» в эфире Nickelodeon Россия по будням в 13:05 по московскому времени со 2 октября. «Мой шумный дом» вернется с новыми эпизодами на телеканал с 22 октября и будет выходить по будням в 13:05 по московскому времени.
Чтобы познакомить аудиторию родителей и детей с премьерами, Nickelodeon Россия проведет специальные кинопоказы с крупнейшими операторами цифрового телевидения. Совместно с «Ростелекомом» телеканал организует бесплатный показ новых эпизодов шоу «Эволюция Черепашек-ниндзя» в 10 регионах России. Жители Волгограда, Екатеринбурга, Краснодара и Челябинска увидят серии 5 сезона мультсериала «Щенячий патруль» при поддержке «Триколора».
Специально для школьников телеканал Nickelodeon Россия подготовил распорядок дня, который поможет вместе с любимыми персонажами настроиться на новый учебный год после летних каникул. Скачать распорядок дня юные зрители смогут на сайте телеканала nickelodeon.ru1.
Популярность шоу Nickelodeon среди зрителей подтверждают рейтинги: Nickelodeon Россия остается лидером по доле телесмотрения аудиторией в возрасте от 4 до 17 лет среди тематических каналов и входит в первую пятёрку среди всех детских телеканалов в России2.
Как сообщила главный редактор телеканалов Viacom в России, руководитель каналов детского и семейного вещания Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. и Nickelodeon HD Мария Косарева, до конца 2018 года «Nickelodeon Россия» представит 130 часов премьерного контента. В сентябре в эфир телеканала выйдет мультсериал «Эволюция Черепашек-ниндзя». В октябре вернется сериал «Я-Фрэнки». Одной из самых ярких премьер сезона станет комедийный сериал с мистическим сюжетом «Бюро магических дел». По словам Марии Косаревой, этой осенью «Nickelodeon Россия» первым покажет пятый сезон мультсериала «Щенячий патруль» и новые серии «Санни Дэй». Также в эфир выйдут премьерные эпизоды анимационных шоу «Мистиконы» и «Мой шумный дом». Наконец, в ноябре «Nickelodeon Россия» отпразднует свой день рождения. По этому случаю готовится специальная праздничная программа.
[...]
В новом контенте Nickelodeon будет сделан особый акцент на теме технологий и гаджетов. По словам Марии Косаревой, это связано с тем, что опросы Viacom показывают: современные мальчики и девочки на «ты» с технологиями и увлекаются гаджетами: у 46% ребят в России есть собственный планшет, у 54% — собственный смартфон, а 67% пользуются несколькими устройствами одновременно (по данным Viacom International Media Networks, исследование «Дети мира», 2018 г.). Чтобы как можно больше зрителей узнали о премьерах канала, Nickelodeon проведет ряд активностей с крупнейшими операторами цифрового телевидения и запустит масштабную кампанию в поддержку премьеры анимационного сериала «Эволюция Черепашек-ниндзя». Мария Косарева напомнила, что Nickelodeon Россия является лидером по доле просмотров аудиторией 4—17 лет, а также входит в первую пятерку среди всех детских телеканалов в России (по данным Mediascope). «Отличные показатели достигаются за счет нашей экспертизы — благодаря исследованиям, которые проводит медиаходлинг Viacom International Media Networks, мы знаем предпочтения детей и можем предложить им подходящий контент высокого качества», — объяснила она.
[...]
ОЖИДАНИЯ И ТРЕНДЫ
Перечисляя отличия нового телесезона, Алексей Виноградов отметил, что после Олимпиады и особенно после чемпионата мира по футболу, который прошел в России, интерес российских зрителей к спорту и спортивным трансляциям стал выше. «Поэтому мы рассчитываем на рост аудитории Eurosport, — говорит он. — Кроме того, у нас есть планы по интеграции новых контентных форматов и технологических решений. Мы также следим за событиями на спортивных каналах России, США и Европы и выстраиваем свою программную политику в соответствии с тенденциями индустрии».
Мария Косарева сообщила, что сегодня большой популярностью среди юных зрителей пользуется контент с искрометным юмором и фантазийным сюжетом. Именно поэтому в новом сезоне на «Nickelodeon Россия» будет много магических преображений и остроумных шуток. Например, в мультсериале «Эволюция Черепашек-ниндзя» действие переносится в мистический мир, где главные герои получают сверхспособности. Помимо этого, новый сезон на «Nickelodeon Россия» будет отличать большое количество премьер в жанре игрового кино: «Бюро магических дел», «Старфолс» и «Я-Фрэнки». «Детям и родителям нравится, когда в съемках принимают участие актеры, так как на примере реальных людей хорошо усваиваются социальные и коммуникативные навыки», — объяснила Мария Косарева.

If the names Endless Mike; Artie, the strongest man in the world; or Petunia mean anything to you — or you want to know where Mr. Tastee goes in the winter — there's a chance you're a fan of Nickelodeon's iconic '90s series The Adventures of Pete & Pete.
This upended and surreal indie suburban sitcom followed Big Pete (Michael Maronna) and his little brother Pete (Danny Tamberelli) as they navigated life in the fictional town of Wellsville — most likely based on Wellsville, N.Y. — with their friends and family (including mom and the metal plate in her head).
It was one of the most original and creative shows for kids and teens on TV — running for three seasons from 1993 to 1996 — and featured musical acts and guest stars ranging from recurring characters like Adam West as Principal Ken Schwinger and Iggy Pop as Nona F. Mecklenberg's (Michelle Trachtenberg, Harriet the Spy) father to guest appearances from the likes of Blondie's Debbie Harry, Janeane Garofalo, J.K. Simmons and R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe.
If you've missed Pete and Pete, Maronna and Tamberelli are hosting a series of "90s Night with Danny Tamberelli & Michael C. Maronna" nights are venues across the USA in September. According to the description, their performances will blend audio, visuals and on-stage interactions for "optimal nostalgia." They will critique some old TV shorts, read scenes with audience members, play their favorite '90s tunes and host meet and greets.
