For those keeping score at home, you'll need to be making some channel name changes on your scorecard. These make a lot of sense to me, I was never really sure which Nickelodeon channel was which (although my six year old was, which I guess is the point).
For the most recent week, on a Total Day average viewership basis, Nickelodeon was #1, Nick at Nite was #3, Noggin was #25, Nicktoons was #51.
MTV Networks division announced that all of its channels, broadband included, will be rebranded so as to be more easily associated with the Nickelodeon name, with preschool-focused Noggin renamed Nick Jr. and teen-targeting the N becoming TeeNick. (The animation-themed Nicktoons will keep its moniker.)
via Variety.
TeeNick? For sounds dirty for some reason and I hate when two words are crammed together through an overlapping consonant. And it really doesn’t work in this case; two Ns are desperately needed. Is it TEE-nick or TEEN-ick or tee-NICK or what? Blah.
Also, I thought there was a Nick Jr. already.
Nick Jr. used to be their. 9am-?? block. I think they dropped the name awhile back.
“Also, I thought there was a Nick Jr. already.”
There is, just not an exclusive channel with that name. Noggin airs Nick Jr. shows along with shows originally aired on other channels, like PBS.
The original Nickelodeon channel airs Nicks Jr from approx 8am-12pm (varies depending on what time zone you are in, plus they seem to periodically change it a bit- frustrating when your kids are used to getting to see a certain show at a certain time), then regular Nickelodeon shows (Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents, etc) until about 6pm, then Teen Nick shows until like 9pm, then Nick At Nite shows until like midnight, with the wee hours showing random Nick content.
Doghouse Reilly, all I can think of is Teaneck, NJ. But then I pronounce it wrong, I’m sure.
Jennifer, so basically Nickelodeon has all their various different derivative channels on at some point or other. Is there anything on Nick that can’t be found on one of their other channels?
Nickelodeon sucks ass. They have all these channels and all they air is original new crap. Especially nicktoons. Hello? Earth to nick!! We already see 24 hrs of spongebob, vs.. crap on Nick…air some old school shows on nicktoons already. Gee!!
You’ve got a point Anil. These shows except iCarly which is the real crown jewel sitcom on all of television is the only good thing they air right now. iCarly and Nick @ Nite that’s it.
It seems like after Rocket Power went off the air, the cartoons really got stale. They have no real popular cartoons like Rugrats, Doug, Hey! Arnold were back in the day. Spongebob came out in the 90s and really doesn’t count just because they continue to air that shit right now.
I would like to see them show those old school shows on Nicktoons or come out with a classic Nicktoons network like Cartoon Channel did with Boomerang.
Or just simply develop some better cartoons that are watchable for everybody.
