Nickelodeon (Germany), known on-air only as Nick, is a television channel for kids in Germany, part of the international Nickelodeon franchise. Launched on July 12, 1995, Nick Germany is based in Berlin. The channel is available on cable and an unscrambled, free-to-air (FTA) satellite signal.In 2010, Nick gets a new station logo and will be officially renamed back to Nickelodeon.
[edit] Incarnations[edit] 1995-1998Nickelodeon first came to Germany on July 12, 1995, as a joint venture between Viacom and a German media company called Ravensburger TV. Programming on this version, which used the full Nickelodeon name, featured a mix of Nicktoons, live action Nick shows, German-produced programming and imports from the United States and other European countries, and was on the air daily from 6AM to 8PM. The channel was available throughout most of Europe on an FTA satellite signal. However, due to competition with the state-run KI.KA children's channel and restrictions on cable carriage, plus financial problems with Ravensburger, Nickelodeon closed in Germany on June 1, 1998. Nick's programming then shifted to other channels (Super RTL and KI.KA in particular). [edit] 2005-presentThe current version of Nick signed on in 2005.The current Nick logo was dropped "elodeon". While there were plans to make it a pay service, as with other countries, Viacom offered the new Nick Germany as a FTA signal instead, due to complaints from many German satellite viewers. Most terrestrial and speciality channels in Germany are available unscrambled via satellite, with only a few channels (mostly premium movie channels) scrambled. Nick is on the air from 6AM until 8:15PM, when Comedy Central Germany takes over. During the morning hours, programming for pre-schoolers is presented, under the Nick Jr. name. In December 2007, a spinoff channel, Nick Premium, debuted for subscribers of the Premiere pay television service, as part of the Premiere Star tier. Nick Premium is on the air from 6AM to 8PM, sharing time with MTV Entertainment. From 2005 to January 2009, Nick was on 24 hours a day, with evening hours devoted to Nick Comedy, a block of comedy and sitcom programming, similar to Nick at Nite in the United States. This would later be replaced with Comedy Central Germany which began sharing hours with Nickelodeon beginning in January 2009, effectively replacing the block. [edit] Nick AustriaAn Austrian version of Nick is also broadcast, sharing time with an Austrian version of Viva. Programming is identical to the German version, other than commercials and promotions. [edit] Nick SwitzerlandA Swiss version of Nick for German-speaking viewers began on April 1, 2009, sharing time with an Swiss version of Viva. [edit] Programs broadcast[edit] Animation
