"We are certain Bermudian kids will identify with Nickelodeon's fresh approach to programming.

"And parents will appreciate the channel's commitment to pro-social, non-violent values,'' she added.

Nickelodeon features real children in its programmes and has live-action comedy, pre-school programmes, animation and game shows.
