Now TV adds kids channels

BSkyB’s OTT service Now TV has added kids channels Nickelodeon and Nick Jr to its programming line-up.
The channels will be part of Now TV’s Entertainment Month Pass for £4.99 (€6.30) a month.

The move will make shows including Peppa Pig, Dora the Explorer and Paw Patrol from Nick Jr and Sam & Cat, SpongeBob SquarePants, Victorious, and The Thundermans from Nickelodeon available to younger Now TV viewers.

“The Now TV Entertainment Month Pass already gives viewers access to a fantastic selection of live and on demand shows and now with the addition of Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. there is even more for the whole family to enjoy – perfect for the end of a long summer’s day out,” said Gidon Katz, director of Now TV.

“Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. are two of the leading entertainment channels for kids in the UK and this summer with weekly films, summer stunts and all the regular favourites, we’re sure that families will love their addition to the Now TV roster,” said Tina McCann, director of Nickelodeon UK and Ireland.
