Nickelodeon channel on Apple's QuickTime TV (QTV), a leader on the Internet
for web-based video and audio. Nickelodeon's QTV channel will bring to

links to nick.com and nickjr.com, and other interactive items of kids.
Also, the new NickTime TV will feature programming from Nickelodeon GAS,
the first streaming sports network for kids. "QTV is the perfect network
for Nickelodeon's kid-first style of entertainment," said Taran Swan,
senior vice-president of Nickelodeon Online. "Through outlets such as this,
we will continue to create fun and innovative experiences for kids,
everywhere they want us to be, from radio and print, to TV and the
Internet." Even bigger kids, you know Mom and Dad, will be able to surf
some fun from Nickelodeon's classic television network, TV Land, via QTV.
Tidbits from TV Land will include "60 Second Sitcoms," Retromercials, and
TV clips.
