Bring your whole family to Nickelodeon’s action-packed, fast-paced, pie-in-the-face, over-the-top event filled with your favorite Nickelodeon games.

Featuring a variety of high energy games and physical challenges, Nick Live! gives kids and adults a chance to get on stage and be part of the action.  The two exuberant hosts of the show select participants from the audience to compete in a series of wacky games and cool challenges based on Nickelodeon’s most popular shows including Dora the Explorer and The Fairly OddParents.

Audience members are part of the fun too as they are divided into teams and cheer on their teammates who have been selected to go on stage. The captain of the winning team will receive Nickelodeon’s highest kid-honor: getting drenched with a bucket of green, Nickelodeon “slime.”

Co-hosted by KAT Country 103 and KHOP @ 95-1

Currently the number-one preschool show on commercial television, Dora the Explorer is a play-along, animated adventure series starring Dora, a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests. Dora explores her world just as preschoolers do everyday, and the show is designed to actively engage its audience in an interactive quest using a variety of learning techniques.

            The animated preschool show “Go Diego, Go!” a spin-off from “Dora the Explorer,” airs on Nickelodeon, Monday–Friday at 11 a.m. (ET/PT) and on CBS on Saturday mornings (check local listings).  Eight-year-old Diego, a bilingual animal rescuer and nature expert who has the ability to talk to animals, takes adventurous journeys inspired by the rich environments of Latin America and by the animals that make their homes in those habitats.

In each episode, Diego and his friends encourage kids to use scientific thinking and investigative strategies to help animals in trouble.
