    ViacomCBS Channels Coming to YouTube TV

    ViacomCBS has struck a deal with YouTube TV to bring 14 of its channels to the popular streaming service.

    YouTube TV is one of the newer TV streaming services, joining Sling TV, fuboTV, Hulu With Live TV and others. The service has quickly become a favorite with a well-rounded combination of channels, features and price. One glaring omission was some of the ViacomCBS stations, such as Comedy Central, MTV, CMT, Paramount Network and more. With today’s announcement, that omission has finally been fixed.

    BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land and VH1 will be available this summer, with BET Her, MTV2, MTV Classic, Nick Jr., NickToons and TeenNick coming on at a later date.

    “We are thrilled to have reached an expanded agreement with YouTube TV that recognizes the full power of our newly combined portfolio as ViacomCBS,” said Ray Hopkins, President, U.S. Networks Distribution, ViacomCBS. “Google has been an excellent partner, and we look forward to bringing even more of our entertainment networks to YouTube TV subscribers for the first time.”

    “We’re excited to launch ViacomCBS’ portfolio on YouTube TV this summer, ” said Lori Conkling, Global Head of Partnerships at YouTube TV. “Our expanded partnership delivers on our promise to offer a premium portfolio of content to our YouTube TV subscribers, as well as across the YouTube platforms.”

    The announcement is good news for current YouTube TV subscribers and will likely help the service gain even more.

  • Nicktoons MLB Out Now On 3DS

    Earlier today 2K Play, Nickelodeon, and Major League Baseball announced that Nicktoons MLB 3D is now in stores. The first baseball game designed exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system, Nicktoons MLB 3D combines the talent and tenacity of baseball’s best players with the spunk and sponginess of Nickelodeon’s Nicktoons characters, adding a new dimension of fun and depth to the baseball gaming genre.

    Players can step up to the plate with an outrageous roster of Nicktoons characters, including sophomore sluggers SpongeBob SquarePants, ZIM, Ren Hoek, Patrick Star, GAZ, and Aang, as well as rookie players Jimmy Neutron and Hiro Mightypaw, who are new to the Nicktoons MLB franchise. They’ll take on – or play side-by-side with – 175 top players from all 30 MLB clubs.

    In addition to updated rosters and logos from last season’s Nintendo DS version – including the Miami Marlins’ colorful new uniform – Nicktoons MLB 3D features 15 ballparks like the all-new Ook Park of Monkey Quest fame and Chase Field, the site of the 2011 All-Star Game. New gameplay modes allow players to create a custom All-Star match-up in Showdown; use the augmented reality (AR) feature to enhance their cutter in Frosty Freeze Toss; blast line drives at oncoming boulders in Rock ‘N Roll and more. Nicktoons MLB 3D also supports wireless two-player action for the ultimate in head to head competition.
