Children’s entertainment giant Nickelodeon intends to follow the example of HBO and unveil a direct-to-consumer subscription service in February, the chief executive of Nickelodeon’s parent, Viacom, said during a call with investors Thursday morning.

In several of my favorite podcasts, the hosts have discussed how their children get much of their entertainment from Netflix and Youtube. Nickelodeon can only hope that they don’t get left behind.
