“As a television service provider, we have the opportunity to participate in and promote some national sweepstakes through ViacomCBS. Nickelodeon is one of those networks and if you have kids, odds are you have had Nickelodeon on at some point.  I have a nine-year-old so it’s on a lot right now at my house.  I’ve seen the Kids’ Choice Awards in past years and it’s super cool one of our members gets an all-expense paid trip for her family to see it firsthand!” added Brian Bissonette, Paul Bunyan Communications Marketing Supervisor.
