The channel launched on satellite (as part of British Sky Broadcasting's Sky Multichannels package) on 1 September 1993, originally airing for 12 hours and showing both cartoons and live action series. Off air the channel would air static logos, schedule information and teletext. Live presentation followed in 1994, branded as Nick Alive! From October 1995 it shared space with Paramount Channel. When Sky launched in 1998, Nickelodeon was in the original channel line-up on Astra 2A, and the channel was aired for three more hours.

Nickelodeon India

Nickelodeon or Nick broadcast in India and neighbouring countries is an Indian children's television network based in Mumbai. It is the Indian equivalent to the American network and is part of Viacom 18. Nick India is available in four languages (English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu).

Background

Nickelodeon India is a television channel devoted to children in India and neighbouring countries. Nick India broadcasts many popular programmes, most notably Motu Patlu and Ninja Hattori-kun. In addition, there are educational shows for toddlers, like Dora the Explorer, that are featured on Nick India's pre-school channel, Nick Jr. Teen-oriented programming is broadcast on Teen Nick. This has been done so that the content can be divided into the appropriate age groups. This is also done so original Nickelodeon shows stay off the regular Nick channel as Viacom 18 does not care about them. When the channel was launched, it aired mostly original programs, like Rugrats, Aaahh! Real Monsters, As told by Ginger, Rocket Power, The Wild Thornberrys and other animated shows like The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, CatDog, Hey Arnold!, The Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom. The network also aired live action shows, such as Kenan & Kel, Drake and Josh, Clarissa Explains It All, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Nick Bites and many more. In 2011 the channel went downhill and stopped airing original shows, similar to Disney Channel India
