NICKELODEON’S FIRST ORIGINAL BROADBAND SERIES,
NICK CANNON’S STAR CAMP, TO DEBUT SUNDAY, JULY 22, ON TURBONICK
New Reality Series from Executive Producers Nick Cannon, Quincy Jones and Quincy “QD3 Jones III – and Hosted by Cannon -- Follows Eight Kids through MegaStar Boot Camp
Performance Finale to Air on Nickelodeon in TEENick, Sunday, August 26
Los Angeles, Calif. – July 13, 2007 – Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids, will debut a new original series, Nick Cannon’s Star Camp, July 22, exclusively on TurboNick, the network’s broadband video player. Executive produced by host Cannon, Quincy Jones and Quincy “QD3” Jones III, the show selects and follows eight members of a new youth super-group hand-picked by Cannon as they literally learn how to be stars. The series of five 15-minute episodes will stream on TurboNick (www.turbonick.com) every Sunday, and the finale performance will air in Nickelodeon’s TEENick block on Sunday, August 26 (6 p.m. ET/PT).
“Streaming video has become a big part of how today’s multi-tasking generation of kids is experiencing entertainment. Several of our properties like Mr. Meaty and Avatar have developed a huge following online, so introducing an original series to air exclusively on TurboNick is the natural next step in super-serving our audience,” said Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President of Original Programming and Development, Nickelodeon Networks. “We’re especially excited to be launching this series in collaboration with top talent like Nick Cannon and Quincy Jones, who know how to connect with our audience on any platform.”
Developed to give a select group of kids the opportunity to showcase their talents, Nick Cannon’s Star Camp produces The Giggle Club, an eight-member all-star super group. After the cameras stop following the group as they learn the fundamental tools needed to make it in the music industry, plans for them include recording an album and performing in a live stage show tour, thereby fulfilling their dreams of stardom. To help get them there, Nick Cannon and Quincy Jones call on a “media dream team” of producer and director Debbie Allen and choreographer to the stars, Fatima Robinson. The group is put through a “megastar boot camp” with state of the art equipment and resources to hone in on their performance skills.
“There is so much untapped talent out there, particularly among young kids today. We wanted to find this talent and give kids the training necessary to mold them into the budding stars that they can be,” said Cannon. “I can’t think of a better network to be working with than Nickelodeon and a better way to reach today’s multi-platform kid audience than by airing this series on TurboNick.”
“I am committed to projects that have a positive influence on today’s youth,” said Jones. “Nick Cannon’s Star Camp is a perfect fit and a beautiful way to help create the next generation’s successful writers, actors, musicians and producers.”
