What percentage of Nickelodeon do they own unless they're planning to sell it , Sky Comedy launched although they only own 25% of Comedy Central UK
I'm afraid I have no idea how much of Nickelodeon that they own. Yes, you're right about the comedy channels, maybe any agreement that they had had come to an end??

CNN isn't mentioned on BARB, so I've only mentioned other below.


Sky Kids brand already exists, but it's On-demand rather than a channel.

6 months to 7 yrs old is mostly a younger demographic than Boomerang is for, I'd imagine it's more 5-10yrs with it's lineup including the likes of Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes (though many adults would happily still watch those). Cartoonito is apparently targeting 2-6yrs according to a web search.

I'd imagine they might go streaming-only when HBO Max (or its equivalent, maybe the branding will have changed by then) eventually arrives when Sky's content deal expires.

Ratings: 4 Week Share in 2nd-8th August data.

TCM 0.16
Cartoon Network 0.14
Cartoonito 0.13
Boomerang 0.09

Nick Jr 0.23
Nick Jr 2 0.15
Nickelodeon 0.08
Nicktoons 0.07

Tiny Pop 0.28
Pop 0.22
Pop Max 0.02

CITV 0.18

CBeebies 0.82
CBBC 0.23

I've added all the other kids channels as a comparison Richard, and grouped them by broadcaster.

I've also randomly picked a week when the Disney channels were still around (20th-26th January 2020) to illustrate what level they were getting.

Disney Jr 0.09
Disney Channel 0.06
Disney XD 0.02
Cheers, I was just about to post these figures/a post from another forum member 'Omnidirectional':


'Here are the latest BARB figures for the pay kids channels (Monthly reach in 000s)

Nick Jr - 4,302
Nick Jr 2 - 2,600
Boomerang - 2,378
Nickelodeon - 2,359
Cartoon Network - 2,305
Cartoonito - 2,249
Nicktoons - 1,785

if anything, Nicktoons is underperforming, Nick Jr is on a roll, and the rest are around the same figure.'
