Nickelodeon (Arabia), is a satellite, free-to-air channel for Arab children, teens and adults. It is the Arab arm of Nickelodeon.

It is the second channel in the joint venture between MTV Networks International and Arabian Television Network, part of Arab Media Group, the largest media group in the United Arab Emirates, after the successful launch for MTV Arabia.

[edit] Programming

The animated shows featured on Nickelodeon in Arabia are all dubbed into Arabic, and by far there is currently no means of switching between audio languages. The live-action shows are only subtitled in Arabic, but this only applies to the TEENick shows. Any other feature produced by Nickelodeon Arabia's own studio is also in Arabic.

Currently, most of the shows are outdated, old series, although they are considered fairly never-before-seen by most of the Arab audience, in either their English or Arabic formats. There are even several series yet to debut on Nickelodeon Arabia, with exemption of The Fairly OddParents, which apparently already settled on the Middle Eastern Disney Channel. Another unlikely-to-air show would best possibly be Invader Zim.

Like most Arab channels, Nickelodeon does feature censorship, but this is by far limited to simply scenes of French kissing, although any mention of said kisses are retained. This is similar to the censorship on MTV Arabia.
