The Nick Jr. Channel, sometimes shortened to Nick Jr., is an American pay television channel owned by the Nickelodeon Group, a sub-division of the Paramount Media Networks division of Paramount Global. An offshoot of Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. programming block, the channel launched on September 28, 2009, in the space previously held by Noggin, and primarily targets children ages 2 to 6 years old. Its lineup features a mix of original programming, along with series from the Nick Jr. block; to avoid confusion between the two different entities, the channel has been identified on-air as the "Nick Jr. Channel" since March 2018 and on-screen until September 2023.
The Noggin brand was relaunched in 2015 as a streaming media service and acts as a separate sister brand. Programming from Noggin is distinct from those of Nick Jr.'s: it mainly carried pre-teen programs at its launch,[1] and the revived streaming service features a variety of exclusive series. From May 2021 to March 2022, the Nick Jr. channel aired an hour-long block of programming from the Noggin app every Friday.[2][3][4] The block, titled "Noggin Hour",[2] featured shows such as Noggin Knows and Kinderwood.[5]
Both the Nick Jr. channel and the Nick Jr. block are currently running, with the latter airing weekdays on Nickelodeon from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET (those hours vary during the summer months, other school break periods and on major national holidays), having traditional commercial breaks for certain programs.
As of November 2023[update], Nick Jr. is available to approximately 54,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2013 peak of 77,000,000 households.[6]
