SpongeBob SquarePants, Paw Patrol to the Rescue for Foxtel

Australia - The end of HBO's hit drama Game of Thrones may have come at a difficult time for Foxtel. But as the pay television provider confronts its financial challenges, it can at least still rely on the enduring appeal of SpongeBob SquarePants and his Nickelodeon stable-mates like Paw Patrol.


Foxtel owns 35 per cent of a joint venture with US media giant Viacom's children's brand, Nickelodeon, which has continued to prosper in a media landscape where subscription TV is being turned on its head by video streaming.

Nickelodeon Australia Management Pty Ltd reported a profit of $26.7 million for the year ending September 30, 2018 - up from $25.9 million - on revenue totalling $45 million, documents obtained by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age show.

The joint venture has paid distributions totalling $53 million (AU) to its venture partners, Foxtel and Nickelodeon’s parent Viacom, over the past two financial years.

More Nick: Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand to Premiere 'SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout' on Saturday 13th July 2019!

The venture encapsulates all of Nickelodeon’s businesses in Australia including pay TV, merchandising, events like SLIME CUP and Crash the Bash with cricket's Big Bash League, and licensing deals with hotels and theme parks like SeaWorld, where it has a Nickelodeon Land theme park.


Ben Richardson, Senior Vice President (SVP) and General Manager (GM) of Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Australia and New Zealand, says the company's ambition is to go everywhere its audience is. Photo: Dominic Lorrimer.

“Obviously kids and families are a hugely important demographic to Foxtel but … they don’t create their own content or brands," Ben Richardson, the head of Viacom’s operations in Australia and New Zealand, tells The Sydney Morning Herald.

"We're a house of many brands and we just want to capture, from birth onwards, that journey."

Pay TV is the source of most of the Nickelodeon joint venture's earnings, but Mr Richardson said it does not define the future focus of the business.

"Our intention and ambition is that we have to be everywhere were our audience is," says Richardson. This means following the company's under 39 year old demographic to the epicentre of digital disruption.

YouTube and Instagram are old territory for Nickelodeon and Viacom brands that range from Paw Patrol - the top pre-school brand, which gives its licensed merchandise a big impact in retail - to MTV, Comedy Central and South Park.

Its next frontiers are gaming platform Twitch, short form video app Tik Tok, and messaging app Discord.

"That's the game," says Richardson of the constant challenge to work out which platforms its audience is jumping to - and how to monetise it.

“The revenue streams are increasingly diverse when it comes to digital platforms," he says.

On social media platforms, one noticeable trend is advertisers seeking "brand safety" by integrating with a branded presence.

"Brand safety concerns have made advertisers more cautious more targeted," says Richardson.

"We’re seeing increased interest from clients wanting to advertise within our branded YouTube space ... that’s something that is really starting to find some momentum this year."

But the big money remains with Foxtel and other subscription platforms.

“Our first exclusive window is always going to sit within that pay window,” he says.

The expansion of streaming opportunities merely expands the windowing options for the company which began with the question of "how long do you wait before it comes out on VHS?’ and goes into big box retail," says Richardson.

In the series premiere, “Ryan’s Kickin’ Playdate/Ryan’s Viral Playdate,” Ryan is put to the test with challenges ranging from stacking pancakes to catching slimy frogs before meeting his highly skilled playdate.

'Double Dare' Season 2 to Feature 'SpongeBob SquarePants Week' & 'WWE Superstars Week'

Originally published: Saturday, March 16, 2019.

Who lives in a Pineapple under the sea, and is about to take on Nickelodeon's legendary Double Dare obstacle course? SpongeBob SquarePants!


It has been revealed that Nickelodeon has just filmed a sponge-tastic SpongeBob SquarePants Week of it's hit game show, Double Dare!

Credit: Twitter /@i3zKO.

Update (6/21) - Marc Summers has announced on Instagram that Nickelodeon USA will be hosting a special "SpongeBob Week" in July 2019! According to Zap2it, "SpongeBob Week" will begin on either Monday, July 8, 2019 or Tuesday, July 9, 2019.

Update (6/23) - Drake Bell and Guava Juice will take part in "SpongeBob Week Game 2"!

In "SpongeBob Week Game 1", two four-person teams compete in a series of challenges for the chance to advance in the first-ever SpongeBob Week Tournament; only one squad will swim its way onto the obstacle course and into the next games to play with their favorite celebrities.

It's currently unknown who'll be taking on all the super sloppy and slimy challenges in the week of SpongeBob SquarePants-themed episodes of Double Dare - it could be the show's voice cast, famous SpongeBob fans, SpongeBob superfans, or a mixture of all three. It could also feature the cast of SpongeBob SquarePants itself! It's not impossible, Cat and Dog from CatDog was a panelist on a episode of Nickelodeon's Figure It Out in the '90s - and got slimed! Maybe we'll see Fred take on the famous Double Dare obstacle course!


It's also currently unknown when Double Dare's SpongeBob SquarePants Week will air, however, it's thought that SpongeBob SquarePants Week will air in either May or July 2019, as part of Nickelodeon's "The Best Year Ever" celebrations to mark SpongeBob SquarePants' landmark 20th anniversary.

The “Best Year Ever” kicks off Friday, July 12, with the premiere of “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” an original mixed live-action and animated special. In the one-hour special, it’s SpongeBob’s birthday, and Patrick and SpongeBob journey to the surface world and come across a few familiar characters during lunchtime rush at The Trusty Slab restaurant. Meanwhile, the Bikini Bottom residents set up a surprise party for SpongeBob. The special which feature for the first time the celebrated voice talent behind SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, Squidward and Plankton playing live-action doppelgänger versions of the animated characters they voice. The “Best Year Ever” will lead up to the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, coming summer 2020.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Week of episodes will form part of Double Dare's recently wrapped second season, which will also includes: the recently aired Kids' Choice Awards Week (March 11-14) and the upcoming WWE Superstars Week (which is speculated to air around the time of Wrestlemania 35 on April 7, 2019; two of the teams in one episodes will be Little Giants vs Generation Yes), Halloween Week (airing sometime around Halloween), and Holiday Week (Christmas Week; airing sometime around the holidays).

Update (3/22) - Nickelodeon will host Double Dare WWE Superstars Week between Monday, April 8 - Thursday, April 11, 2019! The news was announced by Double Dare legend Marc Summers! One of the child contestants taking part in the special week will be Steven Weitz.

Double Dare season two episodes were taped at CBS Studios-Radford in California between February 27-28, 2019, as well as March 2, 4-5, and 7-8, 2019. Three episodes were filmed per day. There are thought to be 20 episodes in total for season two.

A major difference between Double Dare seasons one and two is, season two features a new tournament-style to it, where "Game 1" is 4v4, then "Game 2" and "Game 3" split up half of the winning team to celebrity contestants, and "Finals" is where the winners from 2 & 3 face-off against each other.

In additional news, On Camera Audiences, which distributes tickets to watch and be in the audience of television shows being filmed, is reporting that Nickelodeon has already commissioned Double Dare season three, which is set to go into production in 2020! The news has yet to be confirmed by Nickelodeon.

First Look at Swiper the Fox in 'Dora and the Lost City of Gold'

Paramount Pictures has unveiled a first-look at the CG-animated Swiper the fox from Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Paramount Players and Nickelodeon Movies' upcoming live-action Dora the Explorer movie inspired based on Nickelodeon's beloved animated preschool series of the same name! In the film, Swiper is voiced by Benicio del Toro (Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Avengers: Infinity War).

The appearance of Swiper has been met with mostly positive reviews, Twitter users saying that he looks better than Sonic from the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which due to a largely critical response from fans, have made the producers redesign the character for the movie.

In the popular Dora TV series, Swiper appeared in nearly every episode to steal Dora's hard-won artifacts. The pint-sized adventurer then uttered one of the show's signature catchphrases, uttered three times, "Swiper, no swiping." Whenever Swiper is been caught in the act, he utters his iconic catchphrase, "Oh, man!". Swiper is voiced by Marc Weiner (Weinerville, Figure It Out) in the series, who will also star in the movie as the voice of Map!

Dora and the Lost City of Gold is released in movie theatres across the U.S.A. on Friday, August 9, 2019, followed by a worldwide roll-out soon after.

In Dora and the Lost City of Gold, having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora (Isabela Moner) for her most dangerous adventure ever – High School. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots (her best friend, a monkey, voiced by Danny Trejo), Diego (Jeffrey Wahlberg), a mysterious jungle inhabitant (Eugenio Derbez), and a rag tag group of teens on a live-action adventure to save her parents (Eva Longoria, Michael Peña) and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold.


Dora and the Lost City of Gold is directed by James Bobin, produced by Christopher Robin producer Kristin Burr, who is joined by longtime Bobin associate, executive producer John G. Scotti (The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted, Alice Through the Looking Glass) as well as executive producers Julia Pistor (The Spiderwick Chronicles, A Series of Unfortunate Events) and Eugenio Derbez. Tom Wheeler wrote the story, and Nicholas Stoller and Matthew Robinson penned the screenplay. Walden Media is co-financing and co-producing the film with Paramount.



11-time Emmy and four-time BAFTA nominee director James Bobin (Alice Through the Looking Glass) has assembled a cast of diverse superstars to star in the movie, including: Isabela Moner (100 Things to Do Before High School, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Transformers: The Last Knight) as Dora, Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives, Overboard) and Michael Peña, who play the parents of the titular character; Eugenio Derbez (Overboard, Instructions Not Included; How to Be A Latin Lover), who plays Alejandro, a mysterious jungle inhabitant who tries to protect the teenagers from the marauders; Jeffrey Wahlberg (Future World, Ballers, Counterpart, Reefa) in the role of cousin Diego; Nicholas Coombe (Spy Kids: Mission Control, Midnight Sun) as Randy, a fellow high schooler who develops an immediate crush on Dora; Madeleine Madden (Picnic at Hanging Rock, Tidelands) as the school’s snooty class president, Sammy; Academy Award nominee Adriana Barraza (Babel, Amores Perros, Thor, The 33) as Dora’s grandma, Abuelita Valerie; Temuera Morrison (Green Lantern, Moana), who will play the role of Powell; Q’orianka Kilcher (The Alienist), who will play Inca Princess Kawillaka; Pia Miller (Home and Away) as Dora's aunt Mami; Madelyn Miranda, who portrays Young Dora; Benicio del Toro as the voice of Swiper the fox, Danny Trejo as the voice of Boots the Monkey; and Marc Weiner (Dora the Explorer, Go, Diego, Go!, Dora and Friends: Into the City, Weinerville) as the voice of Map.

Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana Investigating 'Bachelor' Alum Melissa Rycroft's Illness in the Dominican Republic

The Bachelor alum Melissa Rycroft's mysterious illness is at the center of an investigation at the Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana hotel resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, where she was recently vacationing with her family.


Update (6/23) - Melissa Rycroft has made a full recovery.

Nickelodeon Resort staff told TMZ Friday that they are still in contact with Rycroft and have hired an outside firm to look at their cleaning and sanitary practices to see if there is a link to her illness.

Sources close to Rycroft said she did not spend her entire trip at the resort, so it is not clear if her illness was contracted there or elsewhere in the Dominican Republic. The site also reports that she took extra precautions by not drinking tap water and staying away from the hotel mini bar. She did have some drinks from the drink cart and drinks at other bars at the resort.

Notably, Rycroft, 36, is the only member of her family who got sick. Her husband, Tye Strickland, only drank beer during the trip, so one theory is Rycroft drank tainted alcohol. The couple are parents to Ava, 8, Beckett, 5, and Cayson, 3, and all three did not get sick either.

The resort is treating Rycroft's illness as an "isolated incident" and they are taking "all possible measures to ensure a safe and healthy vacation environment, exceeding preventative measures and enforcing strict sanitation protocols."

Rycroft got sick during the second day of their trip. Her representative said earlier this week she "got an upset stomach on the second day of vacation, but it passed. Once they come home, she got severe cramping. It has lasted for over a week, and she's currently getting tested for possible parasites and any other infections. She's assuming it's something food borne, but no one else in her family is ill."

The former Dancing with the Stars contestant has kept fans up to date on her health on Instagram. On Thursday, she shared a selfie from her couch, confirming, "I'm not dead" in the caption.

Rycroft's illness came a few weeks after Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran said her brother John died while vacationing in the Dominican Republic in late April. Corcoran said John suffered from an existing heart condition.

Rycroft is a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader who appeared on The Bachelor Season 13 and Dancing With The Stars Seasons 8 and 15.

Lawton, OK Firefighter to Appear on Nickelodeon’s 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader’

Lawton, Oklahoma - A Lawton Firefighter is back in the spotlight, this time on national television. On Monday, June 24th, viewers can catch Sonny Puletasi on Nickelodeon’s Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader!


Puletasi gained attention after taking Drake’s “In My Feelings” Challenge, with a dance at the fire station last July. It quickly went viral and caught the attention of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader producers. He got the call last month, asking if he was interested. He then applied, and shortly after, he and his family found themselves on a plane to Hollywood.

“It was overwhelming and fun at the same time," said Puletasi. "It was fun working with the producers, the kids, and John Cena. It was a blast.”

He couldn’t give too much away about the show, but challenges you to play along with him.

“Try to answer the questions before I answer," he said. "Let’s see if you’re really smarter than a 5th grader.”

He’s never been on national television before, and says he was proud to represent Lawton.

“I went on the show with my fire shirt," said Puletasi. “I think I represented our Fire Department and the City of Lawton well. It was fun.”

Another viral star to take part on Nickelodeon's reimagined Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader series was Sister Mary Jo Sobieck, whose viral Chicago White Sox first pitch is up for a 2019 ESPY Award. Sister Mary Jo, a theology teacher at Marian Catholic High School in south suburban Chicago Heights, received a nomination earlier for "Best Viral Sports Moment," for her impressive pitching during the high school's night at Guaranteed Rate Field last August.

Be sure to tune in to Nickelodeon at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) / 6:00 p.m. Central on Monday, June 24th to see if Sonny truly is smarter than a fifth grader! Good luck Sonny! :)
