Earlier today, Viacom announced that they will be rebranding, what is currently MTV Hits, to NickMusic. NickMusic is being described as “a 24- hour music video destination for kids.”and will launch September 9.
Nick Cannon will continue to serve as the chairman at Nickelodeon and will be involved with the rebranding of NickMusic. Trendsetter is always impressed by Nick, as he’s the busiest (and one of the most successful) guys in the business, and he consistently blows us away. With his involvement here, there is no doubt this channel will thrive and bring more and more quality content to our TVs.
