[size=20]First Digital Nick Series âWelcome to the Wayneâ Greenlit for TV[/size]
Nickelodeon has put in a 20-episode production order for comedy-adventure toon Welcome to the Wayne, making it the networkâs first digital short-form series to be greenlit for television broadcast. Along with the show, Nickelodeon is planning a companion app, âThe Wayne,â which will give users a deeper, hands-on experience of the showâs world. Both projects are set to launch in 2016.
Welcome to the Wayne, created and written by Emmy winning writer/composer Billy Lopez (The Wonder Pets, Phineas and Ferb), originally launched on the Nick App and Nick.com in August of 2014 as a series of four- to five-minute shorts, and follows the adventures of two 10-year-old boys exploring the crazy, unpredictable world of their New York City apartment building, The Wayne.
The app will be developed alongside the TV series, and will give users a completely interactive experience exploring the building, discovering new characters and locations, solving puzzles and unlocking clues to unravel a greater hidden mystery. New messages and clues will be communicated through videos, online games, photos and more.

Aug 19th, 2015
Nickelodeon has greenlit 20 episodes of social-media influenced animated comedy Pinky Malinky, the next original toon set to join the channelâs growing roster of internationally culled content. The show follows infectiously positive hotdog Pinky Malinky, who lives in the human world and must navigate school and life with the help of his two best friends and unique perspective. Using mockumentary and reality show tropes, Pinky and pals talk to the camera to share their absurd ideas about life as the optimistic meat product sets out to prove that being a âwienerâ is only one letter off from being a âwinner!â
Pinky Malinky is being produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank and is set to premiere in 2016. The series is co-created and co-executive produced by Chris Garbutt and Rikke Asbjoern (The Amazing World of Gumball) and executive produced by Scott Kreamer (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness â all three are members of Nickâs internal group of experienced creators and up-and-coming talent, Artist Collective.
In addition to the TV series, Pinky Malinky will keep fans engaged by sharing the charactersâ humorous experiences across social media and Nickelodeonâs digital platforms through original short form videos and other content, according to Nickelodeon president of content development & production Russell Hicks. âIn this fast-paced digital age, the online extensions in this brand-new series are another example of how Nickelodeon meets the needs of our kids who want to access content anytime and everywhere.â

All Those Classic Nickelodeon Cartoons You Missed Are Coming Back
by Britt Julious - 20h ago (September 13)
Get ready to have more âRugratsâ and âRen & Stimpyâ back in your life.
So an update on The Splat.
This is how things appear to be breaking down (for now):
What: Programming Block
Where: TeenNick
When: October 5, 2015
Time: 10:00 P.M - 6:00 A.M
This and this [September 15, 2015 | 07:25AM PT Brian Steinberg] as examples seem to shut down any possibility of The Splat being a channel.
October 5th @ 10:00 P.M.
Now the question is: âIs this the launch time for a programming block or a linear channel?â
They just love teasing us all. 
âŚ
EDIT: I guess we finally have the answer. Itâs a rebranded and expanded block on TeenNick.
