Nickelodeon To Air Reruns Of HBOâs âGame Of Thronesâ, âReal Sexâ During Late Night Hours
Viacom Media Networks, who owns and operates childrenâs programming network Nickelodeon, has announced that the company has signed a deal with HBO to air reruns of the popular series Game of Thrones,Â as well as reruns of the once popular Real Sex series, which HBO aired from 1990 â 2009.Viacom CEO Thomas Bradbury said that the move will round out a great schedule of broadcasting for Nickelodeon. âDuring the late-morning up until early-evening hours Nickelodeon programming is obviously directed toward the childrenâs demographic, which left quite a void in the early-morning hours, which we will now be calling âTwilight Shift Programmingâ,â Bradbury said earlier today.Bradbury said that other programs will be added to aÂ four-hour block from midnight to 4am, but that no other programs have yet been made official. âEventually, we will be able to fill the four hour twilight time period with four different programs, but as of now, it looks like the block will consists of two hours Game of Thrones, and two hours of Real Sex.âAsked whether or not the adult related content in the programs would contradict their daytime programming, Bradbury stated that it simply would not be an issue. âWe do not believe anyone will find any harm in the programming, in fact we feel that customers will be greatly pleased, because now there will be something for everyone on Nickelodeon,â the CEO said. âOnce the kids go to bed, you can enjoy all the sex, beheadings, incest, boobs, and blood you crave, but without having to pay for an extra cable subscription.âNickelodeon is slated to begin airing the programs this spring.
