calized channel, which is aimed at viewers 2-12 years old, is slated to launch on June 1 and will broadcast daily via cable and digital.

Programming will include a mix of international content from Nickelodeon’s animation portfolio, tween live-action favorites, and the famous “Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.” Nickelodeon Poland will also air original local productions and acquisitions to ensure a wholly relevant experience for local audiences.

The channel will be supported by a Polish language, rich media Web site (www.nick.com.pl), which will provide users with an online community and a wide range of interactive elements such as a video player, games, and downloads. Nickelodeon Poland will work in close partnership with Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products, which oversees an existing licensing business across the region, for Nickelodeon’s global franchises such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer.
