in Japan, to make our 'must-see' content available when, where and how consumers want to view it." When the new channel launches in the first quarter of 2018, it will bring the Nickelodeon content back to the nation of 127 million for the first time since 2009. With its re-entrance into Japan, Nickelodeon will have a home in every major international market that it is able to enter, with the exception of China.
