Interesting, but hasn't Nickelodeon Flanders recently lost its independence by merging it with the Dutch feed?

I'm glad CEE rebranded correctly. With the different logo animations, the lower thirds, the next bumpers, the next banners. It looks good. What I'd like to see is more idents. And the ad break ident updated. Not sure when Jr. and Toons will rebrand here as well. Also, not sure when and where TMNT will be airing.

To me these "Dutch feeds" look as boring as hell, generic and full of technical issues too.

Since when MTV Italy in particular has been directly managed by them, it has become even worse.

Only Paramount UK is actually "lucky" these days

UK channels barely even have technical issues because they look at the playout very often. Dutch feeds aren't as well managed, I guess.

Not just poorly managed, but promotions lack any buzz, it's just a "put some clips without specific audio because we're lazy to actually translate it into different languages".

UK feeds are independent and only have to care about themselves.
Dutch feeds are so generic and boring and with so little money, they look like some fast channels, or even worse at times.

Germany too (not Austria and Switzerland), I've noticed seems to have something that resembles a local team, it's not AS generic

Just because UK is independent doesn't mean that Dutch feed should be managed less. Just check the playout like a few times a week and call it a day. A win-win. And speaking of money, they should actually save their money if they even want to keep running their channels. Merge the feed with someone if they don't have money.

Viacom/Paramount has always been kind of careless or greedyish, but these days cost cut measures are extreme, you can watch Nick Commercial Light and expect the same stuff on other operations with the same very bland promos and all and almost no care goes into local events/holidays and so on.
Oh, and the fillers are terrifying: at least Nick Italian channels never have them, until they won't become merged with something else: I'm afraid they're just waiting for the AGCOM licenses to expire and to move the channels elsewhere.
I don't believe for a second Paramount couldn't do anything more, it's just managed very poorly.

UK is lucky because of a local team, Germany because of the channel being FTA and German-speaking territories being actually high in population and so on.

What hasn't been merged though?

Germany, UK? Italy merging with something else is coming soon, but Germany and the UK are going to stay, these feeds are too "strong".
Russia too used to have a healthy feed, until, you know...

Like I said, they should manage more often. If they want to keep their channels as alive as possible, they can do it if they want and have motivation. While I get they'd rather be lazy, just improve a little bit. That can help the channels.

Exactly. They made a German promo for the new episodes of Monster High, even though the whole show isn't even airing on Nickelodeon Austria.

Plus, to prove the point that they NEVER have a look at their playouts: The promo is still airing in nearly every break.

Possibly because they don't have many promos to air? (CN US plays the same 2 promos every ad break).

Right now, they have 4 promos (Nick All Stars, Tyler Perry's Young Dylan, Transformers Earthspark, Monster High). Nickelodeon CEE doesn't have the Young Dylan promo as they already premiered the episodes earlier this year, so they're left with 3 promos. What's the problem with that?

Then that expains why they air the same promos nearly every break. Just not enough promos. I see this trend recently on multiple channels and feeds. Not much to promote.

Nick Latin America continuity from today. Some things from the 2017 branding are still present (the banners, the "We'll Be Right Back/You're Watching" bumps and a few fillers) but everything else is rebranded.

Side note, they're rotating 3 different screenbugs all day: the regular one, a modified shaded variant of the regular logo, and the minimalist version used in the global feed. Very interesting (and messy).

Yesterday (September 4th) Nickelodeon Latin America finished properly rebranding, as they replaced the 2017 banners and the "We'll Be Right Back/You're Watching" bumpers with updated ones! This coincided with the local premiere for Rubble & Crew, which yes, was the same day as the UK lol



Also, some media outlets talked about the feed's new look, indeed acknowledging the rebrand date as Sep. 4 instead of August 29 ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

MBC will continue to air Nickelodeon content.

Unfortunately, old seasons are more repetitive and rerunnable on this channel, MBC3, especially Spongebob Squarepants.

Not to mention they are right now testing waters with Ukrainian dubs.
And speaking of that, Nick CEE (Polish opt-out, at least) re-aired Episode 2 ("The Chore Thing") from The Really Loud House, but I haven't checked whether it was dubbed into Ukrainian, or not.

Edit: Turns out, S1E2 was given the Ukrainian dub according to what I've checked via DVR.

I have to lay low for awhile. I need to take a break from this for right now, but I'll be back soon.
Bought Cat City (1986) on Prime today. Never seen it before, looking forward to watching it!
Super Metroid on the SNES turns 30 today in North America.
The sub-only anime releases in North America are the invention of the 2010s.
Not all of Family Guy has aged well (and he knows this - hell, he's friends with the PTC president now) but I genuinely think Seth MacFarlane is a really good guy.
