According to Professor McNamara, children’s television was the “niche television” in that it was the first genre a network branded itself around (McNamara). The first experimentation with branding began in cable television with Nickelodeon. Sarah Banet-Weiser, author of “The Nickelodeon Brand: Buying and Selling the Audience,” states that Nickelodeon successfully branded itself as the network of “kids’ empowerment,” which was crucial to building a loyal audience of children (Banet-Weiser, 235). The channel’s consistent branding was valuable to its success because it allowed Nickelodeon to produce unique content for an audience that had not been recognized, and it allowed advertisers who targeted children to have a more direct reach to their targeted demographic. Since the emergence of Nickelodeon, branding has become prevalent in cable, broadcast and streaming television as a method to develop core audiences, redefine programming strategies, and attract niche sponsors. As Banet-Weiser writes, “Combined with the continued reach of the cable industry into more and more niche channels...the brand identity of channels...have achieved a new economic significance” (Banet-Weiser, 235). The significance of brand identity makes it crucial for networks to establish clear and cohesive
