John Flannery: From Notre Dame Track & Field to Programming Strategy at Nickelodeon
John Flannery '18 shares his journey from recruited track athlete at Notre Dame to Director of Programming & Content Strategy at Nickelodeon.
In this conversation, John opens up about his years on the track team and how that experience pushed him deeper into the Film, Television, and Theater major. He discusses doing a fifth year at Syracuse's Newhouse School and landing an internship at Showtime that turned into his first full-time role in the industry.
John walks us through his role at Nickelodeon in one of the most rapidly changing media landscapes. He explains how kids' viewing habits have completely shifted across YouTube, streaming, and gaming - making it nearly impossible to predict what works day to day.
He shares behind-the-scenes details about Nickelodeon's live sports strategy (including NFL games with SpongeBob commentary), competing against cultural juggernauts like Disney's Bluey, and why understanding the business side of media has become crucial to his career growth.
