NICK Nickelodeon is making deals with a number of independent producers for original programming for the station, including a music series and a drama series about ghost stories.
Rumours also suggest that some UK involvement with the game show 'Guts' is soon to occur.
While there is a slim possibility that Nickelodeon may produce its own UK version of the show, it is more likely to take a number of British children across to the show's American home in Florida. Ren and Stimpy, a 'Nicktoon' not yet seen on Nickelodeon, although broadcast in the UK by BBC2, will also come to the station. The previous agreement had been that the BBC would have rights to the show for two years, but rights to screen the series after the BBC showings end have been secured. A fresh round of speculation has begun involving Sky's subscriber centre at Livingston, Scotland. There have been a number of rumours that the centre is, or will be, equipped with CLI - 'Caller Line Identification', or Caller ID as it is known.
