Nickelodeon to Launch 'NickMom' Primetime Block

Nickelodeon announced Wednesday the launch of NickMom, a
multiplatform content destination for mothers that includes a primetime nightly
programming block on Nick Jr. and an interactive Web site.

The programming block, launching in 4Q '12, will feature
original long- and short-form humor-based series that includes talk shows, docu-series,
standup and sketch comedy and more during its 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. nightly timeslot.
Nick Jr. will air two hours of the original content, followed by repeats. Nickelodeon already has 30 projects in development for NickMom, as well as deals with Eyeworks USA, Mad Cow, Annabelle Gurwitch, Hugh Fink and others.

The NickMom Web site will preliminarily launch Nov. 14 as
a blog on Nickelodeon's ParentsConnect.com Web resource before evolving into its own mom-focused
site with interactive media, such as

editorial,
photos, videos, gaming and community.

"Today's moms who grew up with Nickelodeon have a
renewed relationship with us through their kids, and now we have something for
them as adults in NickMom," said Cyma Zarghami, president, Nickelodeon
Networks, a division of Viacom. "This generation of moms is very different than
any one before it and we are very excited to offer a destination that is unique
in today's entertainment landscape with content that taps into the
Nickelodeon's comedic DNA."

Nickelodeon has also secured two charter sponsors for NickMom in General Mills and Reckitt Benckiser.
