Nickelodeon, together with Nick Jr., MTV, Comedy Central, MTV , MTV Live and Paramount Network are all ending their cable network services in favor of streaming here in Brazil.They went off air in the middle of a Sponge Bob episode and their content is now only available trough streaming.
>>151944154I blame Trump's hillbilly pal for the fucked up. Sorry for those who live in Brazil.
How popular is cable vs streaming in countries outside of the USA? How screwed are the viewers who no longer have access to their cable channels?
>>151944154ok
>>151944154Oh no! A 3rd world shithole got internet and wont watch tv anymore! Who cares?
>>151944455piracy here is rampant. we have pirate tv boxes that stream all cable network channels anyways so only the rich pay for it. people prefer4 streaming and piracy around here.
>>151944455I have no idea if children watch cable these days I thought all they did was stick to youtube kids in their parents' iphones

All of the following will be shutdown by tonight:>BET (France)>Club MTV (Europe, Middle East and Africa)>Club MTV (UK and Ireland)>Comedy Central (Brazil)>Comedy Central (Hungary)>Film Cafe>Game One>MTV (Brazil)>MTV 00s>MTV 80s>MTV 80s (United Kingdom and Ireland)>MTV 90s>MTV 90s (United Kingdom and Ireland)>MTV Base (Africa)>MTV Hits (France)>MTV Hits (Europe, Middle East and Africa)>MTV Live (International)>MTV Music (Italy)>MTV Music (UK and Ireland)>NickMusic EMEA>Nick Jr. (Brazil)>Nickelodeon (Brazil)>Nickelodeon (Greece)>Paramount Network (Czech Republic)>Paramount Network (Spain)
perdemo
>>151944890Why did France have BET in the first place?
>>151944421Nah, Disney Channel Brazil also shut down in 2025. Brazilians just don't want to watch cable anymore.
>>151944154YTV in Canada no longer broadcasts Nickelodean content for some reason, started happening since September so now the channels running fumes with whatever CN content they got left.
>>151944154I love after decades (almost 3) of support they do not even care enough to give viewers real closureNo forewarning, no closing goodbye message or thank you, not even the decency to just let the show finish airing then shut it down after credits. They started an episode and aborted after about 10 seconds in something that feels like a shitty creepypasta setupAnd it is not the first time (they infamously did this when Japan shut down), they just really do not care for the programs or viewers
>>151945159I don't believe this to be the case with Japan. After all, Japanese Disney XD viewers got a very nonmemorable closure and it shows. Most likely Nickelodeon jp staff weren't notified ahead of time or something else happened.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KnQi4vvDgI
