Idk if the folks at Nick@Nite would read this but here’s what i do to fix Nick@Nite
Firstly, With Streaming making the block obsolete in its present form - it’s time for a restructuring
1st - ditch the current logo, i get the change is meant for a unified brand and all but the logo in general (especially for a legacy brand like “Nick at Nite”) is what the late great Martin Lambie-Nairn would call “dull and worthy”, so it’s best to revert back to the iconic and flexible logo that people know and love that you folks unceremoniously retired (big mistake!)
2nd - revive the bumpers used in the 1992-1998 timeframe of Nick at Nite as they are timeless and give the block a personality and make new ones that keep that spirit going, the present bumpers set off a patronizing tone of trying too hard to be hip with the kids with the constant hashtags in reference to the shows
3rd - To fix the obsolescence of Nick at Nite in the age of streaming, reviving the old school branding is part of the plan
The big part is a big overhaul to the line up to return Nick at Nite to its roots with a new twist, Imports
I’m talking shows like The Avengers (no relation to Marvel’s Avengers), Two’s Company, Are You Being Served? and all that
Classic UK imports will give Nick at Nite an edge as you will likely not find these on a streaming site and even if they have - it’ll likely be on a service they refuse to subscribe to like ACORN TV or Britbox, so Nick at Nite has an advantage there
4th and final - To address the morning transition to Nick, Instead of giving Spongebob more air time - give kids some curiosity with shows like Animal Kwackers, The Sooty Show (mainly the Thames Television part of the Matthew Corbett era of Sooty), Super Gran and some cartoons like those from the Staflik and Spagetka and Krtek catalog(s)
Risky? perhaps but Nick@Nite as it is now is in risk of getting its plugged pulled and what i’m presenting is the best course for Nick at Nite going forward (also, no more ‘paid programming’)
