List of TV channels |
Nick [ nɪk ] (until June 28, 2017 Nickelodeon) is a private television station for children. The name Nickelodeon ( English for inexpensive film or vaudeville theater , jukebox ) is borrowed from the name of the first American cinemas , which were called nickel odeons because of the entrance fee of five cents (= 1 nickel) . Alternatively, it is derived from the English term nickelodeon ( German for the jukebox ), machines that used to play short pieces of music (especially at fairs) against the insertion of a coin.
There are around 30 offshoots of Nick worldwide, including back in Germany since September 12, 2005 , and a year later also in Austria .
United States
The station started on December 1, 1977 to broadcast its program regionally under the name Pinwheel ( wind turbine ). From April 1, 1979, the television program in the United States could be received nationwide and was renamed Nickelodeon at the same time . In the early days of Nickelodeon there was no advertising , instead short clips were shown in which a pantomime performed tricks against a black background. Over the years, Nickelodeon became more successful, not least because of the Nicktoons.
Nickelodeon produced animated series (the so-called Nicktoons), shows for children and live action - series (like Zoey 101 , Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide , Drake & Josh ). The Nickelodeon Group was originally owned by the Warner AMEX Satellite Entertainment Company ( WASEC ) and is now part of Viacom International Media Networks , a subsidiary of the US media group Viacom .
In 2009, Nickelodeon underwent a realignment. As a result, among other things, the channel The N was renamed to TeenNick , Noggin became Nick Jr. and new logos were presented. Since September 2009, as with MTV , there is only one worldwide station design that runs on all stations in 172 countries under the name "Nickelodeon". In the following months, the realignment began to be followed around the world. On June 28, the station began to be renamed Nick.
Currently (as of July 2018) there are the following nick channels in the USA:
- Nick
- Nick at Nite (in the evening on the same program space as Nickelodeon)
- TeenNick (until September 2009: The N )
- Nick Jr. (until September 2009: Noggin )
- Nicktoons
- Nick Music
Logos
The first Nickelodeon logo adopted the font from the Pinwheel logo, all other logos were completely new designs. The colorful “Splash” logo, which was in use around the globe in various versions for around 25 years, was decisive for the success of Nickelodeon. Due to the renaming, the new logo only shows the word Nick.
