Don't forget to times change. Children want different things and fresh ideas. Nickelodeon just needs a new lift. I will admit they are trying to get their ratings back. Anyway looking at ratings for show 2.8-4.0 is average for children's tv. Also there are more ways to watch episodes now with youtube and other video sites. I don't think that the ratings include who record the show to DVR. All Nick needs to do is a network revamp or something and soon it will be back to a pop[ular network again. Yes, I agree some of the decisions they are making might not be good ones now but its something. Nickelodeon is a boys station and when disney started going with boy related programs everyone started going over their.

With the Direct TV issue I have seen people say they would block all of the networks for viacom. All networks have there ups and downs over a time period. Plus people in thier teens are going to say a network is bad cause they don't like the shows on there. Somebody does like them somewhere.

Studing Television (children's tv) I have seen many shows to me some of them are good and will grab a child's attention and some won't. Nick ios right now going through a tough time for shows and need to find what will work.

If I was president of Nickelodeon I would make some big changes but keep in mind that children of different times are going to want something different.
