CYNTHIA TURNER’S
Cynopsis: Kids!
01/19/06
Good morning. It’s Thursday, January 19, 2006 and this is your first early morning Kids! briefing.
Advocacy groups, led by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said they intend to file suit against Viacom’s Nickelodeon and the Kellogg Company concerning the marketing of junk food to young children. CSPI, and Boston-based Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood along with two parents, will petition courts to prevent “the companies from marketing junk foods to audiences where 15% or more of the audience is under age eight,” on TV, the internet, on food packaging, in print as well as through various promotions and contests to reach younger kids. The suit will be filed in Massachusetts where the consumer protection laws require 30 days advance notice to defendants in cases of this kind. CPSI conducted its own analysis last fall of Nickelodeon’s and Kellogg’s advertising content and placement. Following that analysis, they report report:
- “Of 168 ads for food that appeared on Nickelodeon during [its] review, 88% were for foods of poor nutritional quality.”
- In two issues of Nickelodeon magazine, there were seven full-page food ads, which the CPSI said, “…were for junk foods.”
- Of 80 Kellogg foods found in the supermarket with kid-friendly on-package marketing, CSPI finds 84% were for nutritionally poor foods.
- CSPI found 21 kid-friendly web sites for Kellogg products, all of which highlighted junk foods.
- And of 92 child-oriented branded items Kellogg had for sale on the web, 82% had a logo or mascot from a junk-food brand.
This is not the first time that the CPSI has threatened to sue organizations (e.g. movie theater popcorn, convenience stores among others) over nutrition and nutritional information related issues.
Nickelodeon issued a statement responding to queries from the press about the would-be lawsuit, explaining the company had not been served any legal papers as of yet. Moving on from there, Nickelodeon took the opportunity to lay out its recent initiatives to inform and encourage kids to make healthy food/activity/lifestyle choices, and point out its work with advertisers and consumer products on this issue.
- Its new (fall 2005) partnership with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a joint initiative between the Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association to combat childhood obesity, which includes a full media/public awareness campaign across multi-media platforms, as well as through its Let’s Just Play campaign. Additionally, Nickelodeon reiterated its commitment of $30 million in airtime over the year to support the initiative that will include PSAs with President Clinton and Gov. Huckabee, and messaging through short and long form programming.
- The network also discussed the premium ad rate it offers to advertisers “to encourage them to advertise their healthier items to kids.”
- On the use of its characters to market food, the network also laid out some of its newer licensing partnerships that include: Grimmway Carrots (SpongeBob, Dora, and LazyTown-on packages); Boskovich Spinach (SpongeBob on packages); LGS Specialty Sales-clementines/mandarin oranges/tangelos/Minneola oranges – SpongeBob, Dora, The Backyardigans, and Blue’s Clues are on these fruits; Produce for a Better Health Foundation, and its 5 A Day brand, that will include retail programs supporting eating five fruits/veggies daily (will include characters on pamphlets and in-store signage); and athletic/sports products like Wilson tennis racquets and Franklin sports balls.
As for Kellogg marketing, it released a statement in which it said, “We have a long-standing commitment to advertising in a responsible manner and our messages accurately portray our products.”
MORE KIDS STUFF
Channel One, the news/public affairs content provider in US middle & high schools, has launched One Step to a Better Me, a programming initiative that aims to educate US teens about the importance of a reasonable diet and lifestyle. The year-long effort is sponsored by Subway restaurants. The One Step to a Better Me spots will feature advice/how-to’s/tips from experts (e.g. nutritionists) on topics including portion control, organized/non-organized physical activity and snacking. A one minute tip will air each week through the end of the school year, as part of the Channel One News broadcast. Additionally, ChannelOne.com offer interactive features focusing on eating/living healthier and feature-length programs on the topic is slated to air as part of the initiative. Meanwhile, ChannelOneNetwork.com, the teacher/parent-centric web site, will feature lesson plans for teachers to integrate related information into class curriculum.
Satellite TV broadcaster DirecTV will toss its bib into fray with its own family friendly programming tier, which is being called the DirectTV Total Choice Family package and will be comprised of 40+ channels. Slated to bow in spring 2006 the channel offerings will include: broadcast channels as well as cable offerings- Boomerang, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, PBS Kids Sprout, CNN Headline News, and NASA TV and other public interest channels, among others. Additionally, later today EchoStar Communications is expected to announce its entry into the family programming package arena for Dish, its satellite broadcaster.

For those who have been protecting their backs from the weight of the almost 2.5 pound US hardbound, 672 page edition and of Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince, take heed. Scholastic will release the paperback edition of J.K. Rowling’s sixth Harry Potter novel on July 25, 2006. The paperback Half- Blood Prince will have a first printing of 2m copies, and somehow or other the edition also rings in at 672 pages but they are smaller pages.
