Nickelodeon will simulcast Saturday’s Kids’ Choice Awards across several cable networks as well as online, the network said Thursday.

The 28th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards will air simultaneously on Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons and TV Land, and will be streamed live on Nick.com and the Nick App beginning at 8 p.m., said network officials. The simulcast will mark the first time the annual event will air live outside of the Nickelodeon kids network.

Immediately following the Kids Choice Awards, Nick will air an episode of its new animated series Harvey Beaks, created and executive produced by C.H. Greenblatt (Chowder), said network officials.
