  • Prepare to Loaf out Loud As Nickelodeon Delivers New Animation Breadwinners
    PREPARE TO LOAF OUT LOUD AS NICKELODEON DELIVERS NEW ANIMATION BREADWINNERS Expect hilarious escapades, high energy and booty-shaking music in plucky new series Breadwinners, premiering on Monday 22nd September at 4:30pm only on Nicktoons London, 20th August 2014 – New animated comedy Breadwinners follows SwaySway and Buhdeuce, two hilarious ducks who operate a bread delivery service out of their jet-fueled, Rocket Van, feeding hungry beaks everywhere. Breadwinners is an original production from the Nickelodeon Animation Studios and will premiere on Monday 22nd September at 4:30pm on Nicktoons. Throughout the series SwaySway, the upbeat leader of the flock and his loyal best friend Buhdeuce go on riduckulous adventures together. From eating a loaf of ‘Stank Bread’ and getting lost on the lower yeastside, to record-beaking attempts for most bread deliveries in one day, nothing will stop this duo from making a delivery all while shaking their tail feathers. Breadwinners will air regularly on weekdays at 4:30pm. For fans who can’t wait, the first episode will sneak beak on the Nick App on 15th September. In the series premiere, “Thug Loaf,” when SwaySway and Buhdeuce have to deliver bread to the bad part of Duck Town, they accidentally lock their keys in the Rocket Van and have to befriend a gang of Biker Ducks for help. The Nick App will also play host to the ‘Breadwinners Ducktionary’ where viewers can brush up on their beak lingo. Steve Borst (Teen Titans Go!, MAD) and Gary “Doodles” Di Raffaele (MAD, Metalocalypse) teamed up to produce Breadwinners which was discovered as part of Nickelodeon’s 2012 Animated Shorts Program.

  • H1 2019 Trends and Opportunities What’S Trending in Social TV: H1 2019
    What’s Trending In Social TV H1 2019 Trends and Opportunities What’s Trending In Social TV: H1 2019 The state of social media for TV has been strong so far in 2019. Total Fan Growth for TV pages across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram is up 29% in the first half of 2019 compared to the second half of 2018, while social engagement increased 15% during the same time period. For Facebook, that largely means TV pages continue to recover from the algorithm changes in early 2018 that significantly limited organic reach. As TV focuses on strengthening engagement with their fanbase as opposed to just growing it, Facebook response rate and video views were up in the first half of 2019, inching back to pre-algorithm change levels. It’s a similar story for Twitter, where the TV space needed to alter their strategies following a mid-2018 purge of fake and dormant users. While the volume of tweets from TV accounts was down in the first half of 2019, the “less is more” strategy has been paying off. In Q2 2019, the average number of video views for TV hit its highest peak since the beginning of 2017. Meanwhile, the success of Instagram Stories is something TV Pages are taking advantage of in 2019. The volume of Instagram Stories published by TV accounts increased by 176% comparing Q2 2019 to Q1 2018. TV has also seen substantial growth on YouTube halfway through 2019, with fan counts and video views on the platform up 45% and 28% respectively, comparing H1 2019 to H1 2018.

PUB DATE 1999-03-00 NOTE 42p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (82nd, New Orleans, LA, August 4-7, 1999). PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Childrens Television; Content Analysis; Preschool Education; *Programming (Broadcast); Television Research IDENTIFIERS Sesame Street ABSTRACT Following a content analysis, 85 children's programs were assigned a pacing index derived from the following criteria:(1) frequency of camera cuts;(2) frequency of related scene changes;(3) frequency of unrelated scene changes;(4) frequency of auditory changes;(5) percentage of active motion;(6) percentage of active talking; and (7) percentage of active music. Results indicated significant differences in networks' pacing overall and in the individual criteria: the commercial networks present the bulk of the very rapidly paced programming (much of it in the form of cartoons), and those networks devoted primarily to educational programming--PBS and The Learning Channel--present very slow-paced programs.
