Hair Salons SHUTTING DOWN?!? Nickelodeon's Sunny Day Accidentally Removed From Nick Jr Channels Worldwide

There's recently been some strange shenanigans going on the Nick Jr worldwide networks this past day, as ViacomCBS has sadly announced that their 2017 preschool smash hit Sunny Day has been accidentally removed from MULTIPLE Nick Jr channels across the world.

My guess is that some countries removed the program because the show contained discussion of topics that were not appropriate for viewers in those countries (international countries have different TV guideline rules than we do in the USA)

It's currently unknown if these networks will continue to air the remaining Sunny Day episodes on Nick Jr in the USA and worldwide. For now, the only ways you can wath Sunny Day before those countries gain their rights again is either on Nick Jr cable TV in Neww Zealand or on the nickjr.com websites and Nick Jr apps worldwide including the USA.

OINK! OINK! Peppa Pig Season 7 Now Airing on NOGGIN USA

Peppa and her friends re back for more adventures and splashing in mud puddles in their SEVENTH season of episodes now streaming on Noggin.

Episodes include:
Move to the Music
George Pig's Wooly Hat
Paraschute Jump - ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? The school roof has leaked again FOR THE FOURTH EPISODE THIS SERIES and this time to stop it from leaking, Peppa has her mom participate in a parachute jump to raise money for the bull construction workers to fix the roof. However, Peppa's daddy ends up having to do it twice since he accidentally crashed into the school roof.

Look out for Peppa Pig season eight, coming soon.

COPPA Takes Effect On YouTube

Note: This blog post is VERY serious.
COPPA has recently joined the management of the YouTube app and website. Because of this, this means that several features will have limited amounts of use, restrictions or unfortunately turned off. Here are a few rules to follow with this new change.

1. You need to choose an audience.
You must decide whether your channel and videos re marked for kids, general audiences or NOT made for kids. If its made for kids, this means you will no longer be able to write or reply comments on videos, use any info cards or end screens and not be able to add videos to saved later or playlists.

2. What happens if these videos are made for kids?
If you mark these videos as made for kids, then this means that they must include child actors, animated characters, educational songs/nursery rhymes, age-appropriate stories or any other toddler-appropriate content.

3. What happens if you made your video setting to general audiences?
As of right now, the only videos that can be allowed comments and end screens again are those set into the general audiences category which is intended for viewers age 13 and older.

However, YouTube accidentally put "marked for kids" on a few channels with content dedicated to all ages audiences. These include the Nickelodeon and Nick Jr channels, Sesame Street, PBS Kids, All That, SpongeBob SquarePants and the recently launched America's Most Musical Family and Henry Danger channels. I recently contacted YouTube two days ago and they told me that this was a minor glitch or conusion and they are trying to fix it as hard as they can and to keep their child audiences as safe as possible.

So anyways, those are just a few rules of YouTube's new COPPA restrictions. Please remember to use them wisely. Thank you for understanding.

Sincerely,
