Splat

[JimWH]

I saw that Nickelodeon is launching Splat. This is a vehicle for its 90’s programming like Rugrats and Hey Arnold. I don’t know if it will be a separate channel or just a programming block on an existing one. If a new channel, what are the chances DISH will have it given their warm relationship with Viacom?

It's just a block.

Viacom must be cutting back, as long as they retained all the rights, it's cheaper to blow the dust off old programs and rebroadcast, than make new. Given the quality of most of Viacom's present programming, the stuff from the 90's should be refreshing.
