International Nickelodeon Thread Part 16

[Perla Magica]

Well. It's the end.


Super! will close soon, as said by Claudio Plazzotta.

It was expected to happen.

 

[TVArchive]

They probably gonna air them in June?

As I understand it, this is the new Season 17. A very small fragment was shown in the video, but most likely I won’t be able to send the video because of the site’s rules.

I don’t know when the premiere of the new season is

Hmm, I remember the times when Nickelodeon Rus was given the world premiere of SpongeBob, but I don’t know why they did that.

Typical tactic. Most episodes came to the USA 1-2 years after production finished. There were gaps because production time for SpongeBob episodes is longer because of the Korean outsourcing.

 

[LopezPoJ]

I miss watching Primo and Dancing Sushi too.

Those also aired in LatAm (y'know, back when we still had our own feed, unlike today)

 

[LopezPoJ]

Copyright banners haven't been changed - they're still airing with English titles.

I hope this means they're no longer updating them and therefore, they're considering phasing them out entirely. As i said earlier (International Nickelodeon Thread Part 16), my problem with it is that they often attribute each show's copyright to a literal vanity logo like "Schneider's Bakery Productions" or "United Plankton Pictures, Inc." (or worse, to the people handling the Global feed compound itself, i.e. "Nick International") instead of "Viacom International Inc.", which seems quite "illegal" to me, like if they tried to embezzle money intended for royalty payments.

New episodes of SpongeBob have arrived in Moscow. Alexander Gavrilin is dubbing them today.

Hmm… I thought they stopped dubbing SpongeBob episodes in Russia. Because as far as is known now Nickelodeon now dubbing new shows and episodes in Kazakhstan and also in Latvia (but that's not certain). Or they will divide the dubbing of content like in 2010-2013 when the dubbing made in Russia and Ukraine.

 

[MagiaDiWinx]

Some Ukrainian actors have been blackballed for working in Russian dubs (I do think it went further than that but we're not going to discuss that here) so they aren't going to do that.

Could it be earlier, judging by the fact that they still used the 2009 era

 

[zakawer2]

Okay, so Paramount still commissions Russian dubs for the programming aired on its linear channels (Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Nicktoons and possibly MTV if MTV has Russian audio), while Warner Bros. Discovery completely stopped doing that for its TV channels Cartoon Network and Cartoonito (and probably also the ex-Discovery channels too) in favor of using recording studios from other countries (e.g. Latvia). I see.

I think they are starting to close channels from now in order to also save money at the same time, so that when the WBD merger finishes, the "hole" in debt won't be that high anymore.

Prepare for more channel shutdowns.

All I can say is that "the former friend that became my enemy" also had consequences on television broadcasting.

PlusPlus mostly broadcast Ukrainian dubs (lectors, full dubs, and M&E dubs disguised as lectors). The Russian language was discouraged in phases: first in 2018 by reducing the language from mid-morning to around 10pm, then in 2022 by banning it altogether (all that exists in Russian in 2022 is just simultaneous interpretation on the FreeDOM channel, and audio tracks on the web feed of the United News Marathon).

However, cable companies were still carrying channels in Russian, minor ones based on panfeeds. Nickelodeon IIRC was in Russian even after the war, but I think its presence was reduced? Nick UA Pluto TV was set up as a Pluto TV channel in some European markets and a satellite feed to cater the early wave of refugees. But this also exposed the flaws: only a narrow amount of shows were dubbed and readily available. The Loud House's Ukrainian dub wouldn't come until 2023 on 1+1 Video and only season 6 (instead of dubbing from the beginning). Avatar, TPoM and Legends of Awesomeness were all lectored.

Recently, some Nick Jr. cartoon was dubbed in Kazakhstan or somewhere else. Before that, the channel had been dubbed only in Moscow (if we count from 2022). Maybe they have started shifting their resources to other countries. In 2025–2026, there was a Kazakh announcer voicing the promos, and now there is a new announcer from Latvia

MTV if MTV has Russian audio)

MTV in Russian has not existed since December 2022. They shut down the local version (MTV Russia/CIS) and replaced it with MTV Europe in English. I don’t know whether this channel still exists in the post-Soviet region in 2026 after the mass closures. I haven’t checked

Warner Bros. Discovery completely stopped doing that for its TV channels Cartoon Network and Cartoonito (and probably also the ex-Discovery channels too) in favor of using recording studios from other countries (e.g. Latvia)

Their situation is the opposite. They voice overs the cartoons in Latvia, while the promos are made in Moscow. The voice-overs are terrible, but they have gotten somewhat better compared to 2022. Possibly, when Regular Show comes out, there will be a full dub (without English voices in the background), judging by the promo

but I think its presence was reduced?

Yes, since 2026 there have been no Paramount channels in Ukraine, just like in Greece. In total, there are four European countries without Paramount channels.

 

[RandomMe]

I wonder if PlusPlus still airs Nick shows. Last I checked, they aired them at a limited scale.

Does MTV at least have Russian subtitles, even if it doesn't have Russian audio?

Yes, since 2026 there have been no Paramount channels in Ukraine, just like in Greece. In total, there are four European countries without Paramount channels.

Let me guess—Ukraine, Greece, Cyprus and Russia?

Recently, some Nick Jr. cartoon was dubbed in Kazakhstan or somewhere else.

In March, Nickelodeon released the series "The Marsupilamis", which, incidentally, was dubbed in Kazakhstan. Nick Jr. also released the new season of "Paw Patrol", which was also dubbed in Kazakhstan. Furthermore, Nick Jr. recently began airing the series "Mr. Crocodile", which was dubbed in Russia; the dubbing was likely done back in 2025.

There is nothing in Russian. In the 2000s, they planned to add the Russian language to MTV Europe for Belarus, but they ended up not adding it

Belarus instead of Cyprus

Nick Jr. also released the new season of "Paw Patrol", which was also dubbed in Kazakhstan. Furthermore, Nick Jr. recently began airing the series "Mr. Crocodile", which was dubbed in Russia; the dubbing was likely done back in 2025

Little by little, Paramount is moving its dubbing out of Moscow. Or this may be related to kids cartoons from Nick Jr.

About that...

Not including the northern part of Cyprus, which (by possibly legally dubious methods) somehow might be unofficially receiving the exact same Paramount channels that officially operate in Turkey, I think Cyprus doesn't have any Paramount channels to my knowledge anymore. They've officially only been served by the same set of channels as Greece.

About that...
