Current sister channels Nick Jr. Channel Nick Jr. Channel (sometimes shortened to
Nick Jr.) is a pay television network aimed mainly at children between 2 and 6 years of age. It features a mix of current and former preschool-oriented programs from Nickelodeon, as well as some shows that are exclusive to the channel. The Nick Jr. Channel launched on September 28, 2009, as a spin-off of Nickelodeon's preschool
programming block of the same name, which had aired since January 4, 1988. The channel replaced
Noggin, which was relaunched as a
streaming service in 2015, and acts as a separate sister brand.
Noggin's programming is distinct from the Nick Jr. channel's; it mainly carried preteen-oriented programs at its launch, and its 2015 streaming service features a variety of exclusive series. On October 1, 2012, the Nick Jr. Channel introduced
NickMom, a four-hour nighttime block aimed at parents, which ran until September 28, 2015. While traditional advertising appeared on the channel during the NickMom block, the network otherwise only runs programming promotions and
underwriter-style sponsorships in lieu of regular commercials.
Nicktoons Nicktoons is a
pay television network that launched on May 1, 2002, to February 2009. The channel merged programming from the TEENick block with
The N, a former block on Noggin. Although TeenNick has more relaxed program standards than the other Nickelodeon channels (save for Nick at Nite and the former NickMom block on Nick Jr.), allowing for moderate profanity, suggestive dialogue and some violent content, the network has shifted its lineup almost exclusively towards current and former Nickelodeon series (including some that are
burned off due to low ratings on the flagship channel) that have stricter content standards. It also airs some acquired sitcoms and drama series.
NickMusic NickMusic is a pay television network in the United States featuring music videos from artists appealing to Nickelodeon's target audience. It launched on the channel space formerly held by MTV Hits on September 9, 2016. Like its sibling
music video-only networks
BET Jams, BET Soul, and
CMT Music, NickMusic is based on an
automated "wheel" schedule that was introduced during the early years of
MTV2. A new loop starts at 6 a.m.
Eastern Time, and is then repeated at 2 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Lyric videos are sometimes substituted due to content concerns with the artist's actual music video. The network launched on May 1, 2002, as
MTV Hits, with its programming composed entirely of music videos. As with
MTV Jams, the network was named for a daily program on MTV; in this case,
MTV Hits, which was that network's main
pop music video program. The network composed of current hit music videos, along with a few older videos from earlier in the year, as well as a few from the late 1990s. As both MTV Hits and NickMusic, the network has maintained a commercial-free format, other than internal promotions for Nickelodeon or MTV and MTV-branded properties. The network has no individual or original programs;
TeenNick Top 10, a program shared with
TeenNick, was cancelled in mid-2018. In electronic program listings, the titles of each "block" merely delineate an hour in those listings and outside those titles denoting video theming, have no on-air mention. The network's specific theming to younger pop artists has also been underplayed as of 2024, due to various cuts at Paramount Global and the network's complete disassociation from further developing "triple threat" stars due to personnel and industry changes.
Former sister channels •
Nickelodeon Games and Sports for Kids (commonly branded as
Nickelodeon GAS or
Nick GAS), was a pay television network that launched on March 1, 1999, as part of the suite of high-tier channels launched by MTV Networks. It ran a mix of
game shows and other competition programs from Nickelodeon (essentially formatted as a children's version of, and Viacom's answer to, the
Game Show Network). The channel closed on December 31, 2007, and it was replaced by a short-lived 24-hour version of Noggin's teen-oriented block The N. However, an automated loop of Nick GAS continued to be carried on
Dish Network due to unknown factors until April 23, 2009. •
NickMom (stylized as
nickmom) was a programming block launched on October 1, 2012, airing in the late night hours on the Nick Jr. Channel. The block aired its own original programming aimed at parents until 2014, then began to carry acquired films and sitcoms. Due to Viacom's 2015 cutbacks involving acquired programming and low ratings, the NickMom block and associated website were discontinued in the early morning hours of September 28, 2015. •
Nick 2 was the off-air brand for a secondary
timeshift channel of Nickelodeon formerly available on the high-tier packages exclusively on cable providers as a complement to the main Nickelodeon feed, repackaging Nickelodeon's Eastern and Pacific Time Zone feeds for the appropriate time zone (the Pacific feed was distributed to the Eastern and Central Time Zones, and the Eastern feed was distributed to the Pacific and Mountain Time Zones) resulting in the difference in local airtimes for a particular program between two geographic locations being three hours at most, allowing viewers a second chance to watch a program after its initial airing on the Eastern Time Zone feed or to watch the show ahead of its airing on the Pacific Time Zone feed of the main channel (for example, the Nick at Nite block would respectively start at 9:00 p.m (Sundays-Fridays) and at 10:30 p.m (Saturdays) Eastern on Nick 2 Pacific or 12:00 p.m. (weekdays) 10:00 a.m (weekends) Pacific weeknights on Nick 2 Eastern). Nick 2 would never broadcast in high definition, but the exception is through Xfinity's IPTV services. The service existed from around 2000 until November 2018, launching as
Nick TOO. The timeshift channel was originally offered as part of the MTV Networks Digital Suite, a slate of channels exclusive to high-tier cable packages (many of the networks also received satellite carriage over time), and was the only American example of two feeds of a non-
premium service being provided to cable and
IPTV providers. A
Nick TOO logo was used on the channel until 2004, when MTV Networks discontinued using a customized branding on the feed (a logo for Nick 2 was only used for identification purposes on
electronic program guides as a placeholder image); most television listings thus showed the additional channel under the brandings "Nick Pacific (NICKP)/Nick West (NICKW)," or "Nick East (NICKE)."
DirecTV and
Dish Network also offer both Nickelodeon feeds, though they carry both time zone feeds of most of the children's networks that the providers offer by default.
Viacom Media Networks discontinued the Nick 2 digital cable service on November 22, 2018, likely due to
video on demand options making timeshift channels for the most part superfluous. Both time zone feeds continue to be offered on
Xfinity as well as satellite providers, unbranded. •
NickRewind (TeenNick block) On July 25, 2011, TeenNick began airing ''
The '90s Are All That, renamed The Splat'' in October 2015, a block of Nickelodeon's most popular 1990s programming, targeting the network's target demographic from that era. After several name changes, the block's final name was "NickRewind" and focused on programming from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s (mainly the latter two), and aired nightly. On January 31, 2022, the block was discontinued, with TeenNick's overnight programming mainly consisting of regular reruns.
