Should TeenNick be removed? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yes, because there's literally no purpose for this channel, and already on autopilot, and literally only two shows: Henry Danger and America's Funniest Home Videos (Alfonso ones hosting version).

Late night slots were commercial free. No ad revenue for it.

Rest of other shows iCarly, Sam & Cat, Danger Force (the show renewed for season 3, on hiatus for now), Paradise Run.. were off the lineup weeks ago.

The only thing other shows airing were only new to TeenNick, like That Girl Lay Lay, NFL Slimetime, Young Dylan, Nick News, etc.. things like that.

Paramount Plus is the only thing that has more selection of shows.

You have to wonder why a cable company would waste bandwidth on this channel. But Comcast here (Eastern time zone) still has Nick2, which is nothing more than the West Coast Nick feed.

Maybe these are "we'll throw this in" channels from Viacom, to Comcast.

Paramount hasn't been interested in consolidating down their channels. They could have closed out Pop also. They likely think the LGTBQ community needs Logo, so they are doing a public good with it.

I suppose with more channels = more ads so they keep them all.

Comcast/NBC was better at reducing their channel footprint, removing channels like Cloo.

That is a good thing. Pop is better than many channels simply because they air Scorpion.

I said Paramount Plus, I didn't actually say Paramount. Paramount Plus is a streaming site

https://www.paramountplus.com/

It has almost most of Nickelodeon shows, mostly from old and new.

update: didn't realize Paramount is a company (former: ViacomCBS)

I've never understood the Nick2 feed for the West Coast being carried everywhere (on Comcast, maybe more) for people not on the West Coast. It's the same shows, and more people watch On Demand these days, so it doesn't make sense, since Nick would *literally* be in the same Time Zone in the West Coast, would they not? I don't get what purpose Nick2 serves.

I'm guessing Nickelodeon is enough of a cash cow with endless SpongeBob and Loud House that they'll keep it and maybe the others get decent enough ratings it's good ad revenue and extra revenue for both Paramount/Viacom and the cable providers? Some food for thought. There are a number of cable channels that are a shell of their former self that I've wondered why they still exist.

Actually Nickelodeon nowadays is mostly spammed with movies, SpongeBob airings were slowly getting less. And Loud House get even WAY less airings. But SpongeBob used to be more spammed earlier this year, but things change when movies start to get more spammed every week that started few months ago.

Nicktoons network nowadays mostly SpongeBob and Loud House.

NickJr block on Nickelodeon mostly is PAW Patrol, Nick@Nite mostly consists Friends, as well as few other shows.

TeenNick is mostly Henry Danger and recently acquisition AFV.

Absolutely no way is TeenNick shutting down!

Hawkee · 10-23-2022, 04:18 AM

When TeenNick began life as The-N it was dubbed as the teenage version of Nickelodeon and since channels such as Disney Channel and Cartoon Network started to appeal to teens Nickelodeon followed suit and started copying them by developing a channel that would appeal to the crowd growing out of Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. that was a channel aimed at teens at the 13 to 17 age range and so The-N was born and from the time it debuted The-N was indeed successful and with a wide lineup of shows aimed at teens such as Clarissa Explains It All and reruns of sitcoms such as Moesha and the new at the time Degrassi series and Daria reruns The-N knew how to attract an audience well. But I think when The-N renamed itself TeenNick you could tell that they were changing direction and when Nick Cannon became president of TeenNick that's when they started changing direction by developing their own sitcoms and drama series such as Instant Star and South Of Nowhere and while Degrassi continued to be a strong hit TeenNick soon realized that they needed more success to survive and so they added The Splat block filled with reruns of classic Nickelodeon shows such as Double Dare Nickelodeon Guts Legends Of The Hidden Temple Roundhouse Hey Dude and other shows. But I think why TeenNick has added shows like America's Funniest Home Videos is because I think this marks the end of TeenNick and they will plan to turn TeenNick into another sitcom channel of Nick At Nite and TV Land and the TeenNick programming will move to Paramount+ in a few years

Most everyone has a mobile device with internet and Wifi and can watch any show current or past anytime they want now (paid, or for me, free).

I dislike the term ‘On Demand’. Demand is such a forceful term. “I DEMAND to watch this!” Or the jerk in the store who doesnt get their way DEMANDS to see the manager. DEMAND. It is an ugly word. How about REQUEST. Programming on REQUEST. Demanding is what Hitler used to do.

Svenfan1234 · 11-01-2022, 01:41 PM

Oh, and for comparison, TeenNick had only 37,000 viewers last year (!!), and even Logo got more viewers with 41,000 viewers (still terrible, but oh well, they're there for more ad revenue anyway!)

Oh, and Pop TV was doing pretty poorly but better than TeenNick at 161,000 viewers which is likely to fall drastically. It's what's going to happen to cable.

tenter · 11-01-2022, 02:42 PM

TeenNick were less commercial though , and somehow were playing some music videos though commercial breaks. Even late night slots were commercial free.

I don't see how Comcast or any cable company could retain these unwatched channels. And they must make next to nothing on ads.

With 37,000 viewers nationwide they probably can't sell the time.

tenter · 04-27-2023, 09:47 AM

Sorry to bump up thread, but literally TeenNick is airing LOT of Henry Danger airings, and some Danger Force airings.

AFV, iCarly, and Wipeout are off the lineup for good.

So should TeenNick be removed? Sorry if Im asking again. There has been less ads in late night slots.
