Nick Jr. Schedule Changes: Lots of “Peppa Pig”, No “Little Bill”
In a desperate attempt to stop the 24/7 Disney Junior channel – which has constantly outranked the long-time Nick Jr. channel since being publically rated last April, Nick Jr. is making a large amount of schedule changes starting Monday.
For a ratings example, the week of February 10-16, the 24/7 Disney Junior channel averaged 421,000 total viewers in total day and 531,000 in primetime. Nick Jr. averaged 279,000 in total day and 357,000 in primetime.
The new schedule for Nick Jr. starting Monday, February 24 follows. Only one show is being completely removed from the line-up: Little Bill, while Peppa Pig is gaining a large number of airings – 10 times per weekday and 12 times on the weekend days – for a whopping 74 airings a week.
