1+1 media and Paramount launch Nickelodeon channel with Ukrainian-language content
1+1 media and Paramount Global announce that Nickelodeon is now available for viewers to watch in Ukrainian
This long-awaited initiative will bring favourite children's TV characters to life in Ukrainian for the first time through content localisation. Starting from 1 June, the channel will be available on a number of platforms with a Ukrainian track, including OTT, Viasat satellite packages and cable networks.
The channel will showcase a localised version of the world-famous Nickelodeon brand, which has been wowing audiences around the world for over 40 years with its exciting shows created for preschoolers, children aged 6 and over and teenagers. Ukrainian children and their parents now have access to a huge number of top-notch shows and programmes in their native language, which are ideal for family viewing. In addition to such global mega-hits as SpongeBob SquarePants and Puppy Patrol, viewers in Ukraine can already watch fully localised popular series such as all five seasons of Dangerous Henry, as well as the first seasons of Danger Squad, Nate Almighty, Casagrande and the highly anticipated SpongeBob SquarePants spin-offs Camp Coral and The Patrick Star Show.
By the end of 2023, viewers can look forward to an impressive line-up of more than 200 premiere episodes of new series, including Transformers: New Spark," "The Expendables," "Middlemarch," "School of Monsters," "Star Trek: Prodigies" and "Rock Island Mysteries".
"The launch of Nickelodeon with Ukrainian-language content is a landmark event in the history of Nickelodeon in Ukraine, bringing favourite children's characters closer to the Ukrainian-speaking audience. Thanks to our productive cooperation with 1+1 media, we are preparing more than 500 hours of outstanding shows in Ukrainian, and the library of localised content will be replenished every day. We are very excited to communicate with our viewers in their native language," Paramount Global said in a statement.
"Our important task is to ensure that Ukrainian children have access to high-quality thematic content in the Ukrainian language. The projects in the Nickelodeon portfolio offer not only entertainment content, but also combine an important educational function that meets our goals. At the same time, they can be a source of much-needed inspiration. We are grateful to our international partners for their thorough work and high-quality adaptation," 1+1 media commented.
