Okay, so TeenNick's top show Degrassi premiered their big yearly promo
for the summer season and everyone's excited and then the executive
producer drops this bomb. The season will air at 10pm EST. An hour
later than the normal time from the past two years. Now, this may be
due to the show might be introducing more risque content, but also
keep in mind that ***@Nite is doing their own telenovela throughout
the summer, Hollywood Heights. That airs at 9pm on ***@Nite, and is
aimed towards the same audience as Degrassi. Hmm. Also, Degrassi
originally premiered at 8pm, until season 9 in which it moved to 9pm
Friday nights. Why? Nickelodeon was doing premieres of iCarly during
that time period. Hmm.
This has been a constant trend, and I think a huge reason TeenNick
hasn't found it's full potential. A lot of what holds TeenNick (also
with Nicktoons) back is Nickelodeon proper is essentially competing
for the same viewers. I suppose with Nicktoons it's gears for boys,
TeenNick for teen girls but those are two demos Nickelodeon already
did a good with, not like Disney who had to split off Disney XD for
the boys. Not to mention the fact for a good year Degrassi was the
only new program the network had.
So, while I get my thoughts together, how would you guys program this
network?
