Nickelodeon Poland Premieres '44 Cats' and 'RBUK'

Nickelodeon Poland (Polska) premiered the brand-new CG-animated preschool series 44 Cats on Monday 1st July 2019 at 9:00! Created and directed by Iginio Straffi, the founder of Italian content powerhouse Rainbow Group, the makers of Winx Club and Regal Academy, and produced by Rainbow in collaboration with Antoniano Bologna and Rai Ragazzi, following launch, new episodes of 44 Cats continue to air regularly weekdays at 9:00am on Nickelodeon Polska. The series is locally titled 44 Kotów in Poland.

Update (14/7) - Nickelodeon Polska premiered the Spongebob Kanciastoporty 20th anniversary special “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout” on Friday 12th July 2019 at 15:30!

Set in the world of animals, 44 Cats (52 eps x c. 13') follows the daily adventures of Lampo, Milady, Pilou, and Meatball – four adorable kittens who are part of a music band named The Buffycats.

The protagonists live and play in the Clubhouse, a garage beside old Granny Pina’s house. Their adventures explore the themes of friendship and altruism: the four cats love helping others and always find creative solutions to everyday hitches and help other cats in need. The series promotes positive attitudes and conveys educational messages dealing with important themes such as tolerance, diversity and solidarity in a funny way.

This eagerly anticipated show made its world debut on Rai Yoyo in Italy on Monday 12th November 2018. Nickelodeon International acquired the broadcast rights to the series in May 2018, and will roll the animated series out on Nickelodeon channels and branded blocks around the world, excluding Latin America, throughout 2019.

44 Cats is inspired by the very popular Italian kids song "44 Gatti", which, in 1968, won the 10th edition of the Zecchino d'Oro and has since entered the collective imagination of Italians.

44 Cats is the first Rainbow Group production jointly developed with Bardel Entertainment, the Canadian animation studio it acquired in 2015, and jointly produced in collaboration with Antoniano Bologna and Rai Ragazzi, and combines great music and edutainment with high quality animation. The series also marks Rainbow’s (Winx Club, Regal Academy, Club 57, Mia and me, Maggie & Bianca Fashion Friends) inaugural foray into preschool programming.

Rainbow inked a licensing deal for 44 Cats with Thai Group’s Hong Kong-based company, Toy Plus in August 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Toy Plus will develop a variety of products including interactive plush, figurines, play sets, musical toys and more based on the music, creative play patterns and collectability featured in the series. The line of merchandise debuted in Hong Kong in October, and is slated to become available for purchase around the world in fall 2019. Media Service Zawada represents the property in Poland.

Following its launch on Nickelodeon Polska, 44 Kotów will also air on TVP ABC from September 2019.

Rainbow has also secured a new licensing deal for 44 Cats with holistic lifestyle company Artsana Group. Under the agreement, the company will develop a range of licensed 44 Cats-themed infant educational toys for infants and a nursing line under its Chicco brand, the largest infant brand in Europe. The deal also includes apparel and accessories collections by Prenatal and Chicco. Products are expected to hit retail shelves later this year and will be supported by a dedicated, high-level marketing campaign delivered jointly by Rainbow and Artsana Group, which is also based in Italy.

Additionally, Rainbow has tapped The Joester Loria Group (JLG) to represent the 44 Cats animated series in the U.S., and Bandai America has been appointed by master toy partner Toy Plus to distribute their full range of 44 Cats toys in the U.S., Canada and Australia markets. A collection including figurines, play sets, plush, and musical toys will debut at retailers early next year. Simba Dickie Group’s is the exclusive distributor for Europe and the Middle East.

44 Gatti become the most watched Italian-produced cartoon of 2018 when it debuted on Rai Yoyo on Monday 12th November 2018, recording record ratings of 527,000 viewers and a 2.71% audience share, helping Rai Yoyo to continue to be the most watched children's channel in Italy! Since its debut, 44 Gatti has also held the record for the highest viewing share amongst children aged 4-7 years, reaching 16% and an average audience of 350,000 viewers in the 19.15 timeslot.

Na rowerze w różnym wieku. Córka i tata na podium

Na rowerze można jeździć w różnym wieku. Pokonywanie trudnego terenu przychodzi łatwiej starszym zawodnikom, ale najmłodsi adepci nie rezygnują. W Piszu, gdzie rozegrano zawody z cyklu Mazury MTB, trzymaliśmy kciuki m.in. za Kacpra Siergieja.

Jedenastolatek nie zdecydował się na jazdę na „dorosłym” dystansie, lecz walczył w specjalnym wyścigu skierowanym do dzieci. W ramach Nickelodeon Race rozegrano trzy biegi. W swoim młody mławianin ścigał się z dziesięcioma konkurentami. Walka o czołowe lokaty okazała się zacięta. Nasz cyklista przekroczył linię mety jako szósty.

Kacper nie był jedynym naszym młodym zawodnikiem w Piszu. Swoją kategorię wiekową wygrała Michalina Grędzińska, a wysoko w klasyfikacji generalnej uplasował się Marcel Rudziński.

Podczas imprezy zorganizowanej w malowniczej Puszczy Piskiej walczyli także dorośli. Na odcinku Expert pojechał Paweł Rudziński. Jeździec ekipy Twister Team uplasował się na dwunastym miejscu – w kategorii wiekowej EM3 był siódmy.

Za to Bartosz Grędziński przebił się na podium. Zmagania na dystansie PRO ukończył w grupie wiekowej M3 na trzeciej lokacie. W generalnym zestawieniu ustąpił pola czterem rywalom.

In the 20 years since SpongeBob first went to air, pollution and extreme changes in temperature have put the reef in more danger than ever. That's why Nickelodeon wants kids to join them to help raise awareness of one of the world's greatest natural assets! Kids can play an active part by signing up to become a Junior Citizen Of The Reef today at nick.com.au/reefsquad.

SpongeBob SquarePants was created by marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg, who sadly passed away in November 2018 following a battle with ALS. A fitting legacy for Hillenburg would be for his beloved character to help protect the reefs in our ocean.

It's SpongeBob SquarePants' 20th anniversary, and to commemorate 20 years of SpongeBob SquarePants, YTV in Canada will be hosting a Sponge-Tastic two-day on-air birthday bash over to celebrate 20 years of one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created!

It’s SpongeBob’s birthday in “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” an original mixed live-action and animated special which features for the first time the celebrated voice talent behind SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, Squidward and Plankton - Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Clancy Brown, Carolyn Lawrence, Roger Bumpass and Mr. Lawrence, respectively - playing live-action doppelgänger versions of the animated characters they voice! In the one-hour special, Bikini Bottom is getting ready for a very special day: SpongeBob's birthday! To mark the occasion, Sandy, helped by the inhabitants of the underwater city, decide to organise a surprise birthday party for SpongeBob. In order to keep the birthday boy away from the preparations, Patrick and SpongeBob go on a crazy trip to the surface world, where they come across a few familiar characters during lunchtime rush at The Trusty Slab restaurant. The special will also feature special guest stars David Hasselhoff (Baywatch, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie), Kel Mitchell (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger), Jack Griffo (The Thundermans) and Daniella Perkins (Knight Squad). (#254-#255)

Donning his famous lifeguard attire, Hasselhoff guests as himself in the special, where he runs into a little trouble in an ocean kayak and on the beach.

E4 in the UK to Start to Air 'School of Rock' from Monday 15th July 2019

The British free-to-air (FTA) television channel E4, the sister channel of Channel 4, will start to air School of Rock, Nickelodeon's hit live-action musical comedy series inspired by the hit movie of the same name, from Monday 15th July 2019 at 7:30pm! Following class introductions, new episodes of School of Rock will continue to air weekdays at 7:30pm. Each all-new episode will also encore in a special marathon Sundays from 8:30am beginning Sunday 21st July 2019.

The gifted students of William B. Travis Prep School are in for the lesson of a lifetime in Nick's School of Rock!

When their teacher suffers an unfortunate skateboarding spill, Mr. Finn, a down-on-his-luck musician, steps in. Little do the group of overachieving rule-abiding students know - their new substitute actually rocks!

With their musical talents combined, this class of classically-trained musicians forms a band complete with headbanging beats and face-melting solos. But if they want to live the rock star life, they'll have to band together, take risks and rock out to reach new heights all whilst keeping the whole thing a secret.

Throughout the school year, these middle-school classmates find themselves navigating relationships, discovering their unknown talents and learning lessons on loyalty and friendships. With Mr. Finn's help, they'll discover that working together isn't just cool, it rocks!

In the series premiere of School of Rock, "Come Together", the class are introduced to their substitute teacher Mr. Finn, who quickly gives his students nicknames!

School of Rock stars Breanna Yde (The Haunted Hathaways, The Loud House) as Tomika, Lance Lim (Speechless, Fresh Off the Boat) as Zack, Jade Pettyjohn (Henry Danger, Rufus 2) as Summer, Aidan Miner as Lawrence, Ricardo Hurtado (Malibu Rescue) as Freddy, Tony Cavalero (Splitting Adam) as Mr. Dewey Finn, and Jama Williamson (Parks and Recreation) as Principal Mullins.

The series features guest appearances from Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy, Ghostbusters (I'm Not Afraid)), Kendall Schmidt (Big Time Rush), Kira Kosarin (The Thundermans), Lilimar Hernandez (Knight Squad), Jack Griffo (The Thundermans), and JoJo Siwa. Episodes will include musical performances by the cast covering hits "What I Like About You" (The Romantics), "Lips Are Movin" (Meghan Trainor), "The Kids Are All Right" (The Who), "We're Not Gonna Take It" (Twisted Sister), "Shut Up and Dance" (WALK THE MOON), "Heart Attack" (Demi Lovato) and more.

School of Rock is developed by Jim and Steve Armogida (Crash & Bernstein, Grounded for Life), who also serve as Executive Producers with Jay Kogen (The Simpsons, Henry Danger). The 2003 movie of the same name was written by Mike White. Its director Richard Linklater and producer Scott Rudin serve as series Executive Producers, along with Eli Bush (The Newsroom, Ex Machina).

School of Rock originally ran for 45 episodes over three seasons between 2016-2018.

Fans can find out more about School of Rock at nick.co.uk/schoolofrock, on the Nick Play app, and at channel4.com.

The news follows Channel 4 acquiring the rights to Comedy Central's 10-part scripted comedy series The Other Two, which is currently airing on E4.
