Nickelodeon (formerly 10Shake)

There are some reason not to make Nickelodeon HD, starting with bit rates. It is already MPEG 4 and would need to triple the current bandwidth allocation and the bits would have to come from the other channels. I think 10 would get a lot more out of switching 10 Peach from MPEG2 to MPEG 4 and making it HD. It is such a popular multi and the switch would not need to take as many bits from other channels because of the change from MPEG 2, it would only need to add about 1 Mb/s to run in HD.

Would it be possible to make 10 Peach and Nickelodeon both HD? If 10 peach was switched to Mpeg4.

@Nicholas

I’m like a broken record but yes, MPEG2 really needs to be phased out

Yeah I agree… Older equipment has been babyed enough, time to rip the band-aid off and making all channels H.264, particularly when parts of the world are starting to look at using HEVC, and here Australia is still using bloody MPEG2

Nick@nite changing to Nickelodeon at about 3am

Nick@nite changeover to Nickelodeon

3am seems a little early. Would have thought they would have done sort of like a 6pm to 5am and 5am-6pm situation.

Also noted in the ratings thread plus:

@TV.Cynic

yesterday’s share, though still modest, was the second highest Thursday share ever achieved on LCN 13.

[Brownshoes]

The Nick fast channels on 10play are great. The nostalgia coming in strong for this 30yo

[MichaelPower]

Lol it’s not aimed at you though.

[TV.Cynic]

Another good result for Nick on Friday.

@TV.Cynic

Nickelodeon was again up on the previous week’s share achieved by 10 Shake; again still a modest result but the second highest Friday share ever for LCN 13.

[David]

Lol it’s 95% the same schedule as 10Shake was. Is it just the name that’s tricked people into tuning in?

[TV.Cynic]

Could include some of those who used to watch the channel on Foxtel.

[David]

They found it pretty quickly then.

They found it pretty quickly then.

kids are fast adopters

Any search that queries where Nickelodeon is or went to or how to watch comes up with several sources pointing to channel 13 on FTA.

Shame all the older stuff is so cropped.

Grab of now compared to an old US TV rip.

Disappointing to see nick@nite having nothing to do with its original format. Even the states have kept the format going all these years later.

[yourfbiagent]

Definitely better than Shake’s previous lineup of endless MTV Cribs, Workaholics. A bit bummed about the fact it is still mostly The Middle, and Graham Norton, and not similar to the US nick@nite as you have stated.

[hitmachine]

Looks like I was incorrect, the states dumped the Nick@nite as we know it for its own channel. Still, no reason why 10 couldn’t do a better job of night programming.
