On 18 January 2018, the American channel Spike was rebranded as Paramount Network by Viacom Media Networks to closely associate with the Paramount Pictures movie studio. On some platforms in the Netherlands, and in Flanders Spike keeps on time-sharing daily between 21:05 and 5:00 with Nickelodeon, which is 2.5 hours longer than before 12 December 2016. Nickelodeon became a 24-hours channel again. On 12 December 2016 Spike launched as a 24-hours channel on Ziggo in the Netherlands, followed by KPN, Telfort, XS4ALL, Caiway and T-Mobile Thuis 3 months later. This brings the American Spike channel for the first time in the Netherlands and Belgium. It started broadcasting at night and broadcasts from 21:00 to 2:30 on Nickelodeon, replacing TeenNick in its time slot.

On 18 August 2015, Viacom announced that Spike would launch in the Netherlands and Flanders on 1 October 2015. On, the channel was renamed by Paramount Network. Until 6 January 2021, the channel was also available in Flanders. As of 12 December 2016 the channel is broadcasting 24 hours a day in the Netherlands. Initially it only broadcast daily between 21:00 and 2:30, time-sharing with Nickelodeon. The television channel aimed at an audience of mainly men.

It was the third Spike channel next to the US and UK version of the channel. The television channels launched as Spike on 1 October 2015. Paramount Network is a Dutch free-to-cable television channel in the Netherlands, based on the American rebranded Paramount Network. Looking back to Paramount's highest-grossing film- Titanic-may give us some insight into the Viacom's future in the world of peak TV: Only the most engaging brands will survive, while the weaker ones sink.(downscaled to 16:9 576i for the SDTV feed) One could also see successful shows coming out of tentpoles like Transformers, Mission or Impossible, or a Baywatch reboot to follow the Baywatch film. Netflix has already shown how transferrable Marvel characters can be to TV, and Paramount would be smart to follow that lead. For example, Paramount has been involved with projects featuring Marvel characters Thor, Iron Man and Captain America. Last quarter, alone, it had an operating loss of $180 million, and operating income dropped 23% year-over-year.Ī network devoted to Paramount properties will help the studio build a multiplatform brand. In 2016 it saw flop after flop (think Ben-Hur and Star Trek Beyond ) and had the smallest market share of all major studios. In 2016, Spike averaged only 704,000 total viewers, while other unscripted-focused channels like HGTV, Discovery and Food Network averaged 1.583 million, 1,402 million and 1.057 million, respectively. "That's coming from consumers dictating what they want to watch, and they don't want to pay for what they’re not watching."Īnd, compared to other cable networks, consumers aren't watching Spike. "Ca ble and satellite companies are downsizing bundles," says Verna. With streaming bleeding audience from cable- in 2017, one in five US adults will not watch traditional pay TV programming, according to eMarketer-and viewers choosing skinny bundles over larger cable packages, many of Viacom's less popular networks are just not experiencing high enough demand. The idea of cutting the not-so-good TV is a long time coming, but hasn't yet been necessary for many of the larger TV companies that can still use sports offerings for leverage to sell large channel packages. "If you have a lot of underperforming channels, cable owners don’t want to pay a premium," says Verna, adding that the "ultimate teen and millennial channels of the 90s" have not been able to keep up with the digital world. Adjusted operating income dropped 7% for the networks last year. Comedy Central and MTV, two brands that had clear messages and audiences, have lost their cache and ratings as a younger generation turns to smaller screens (phones and computers) over the small screen. From a value perspective, the numbers aren't there: The package of 25 networks that Viacom offers to cable providers is the most expensive one that does not include sports (the remaining appointment-viewing content) , but it hasn't delivered the viewers to make it worth it.
