[edit] History

[edit] 1995-1998

Before Nickelodeon Germany ever existed, a television special, called "Nickelodeon Goes to Germany", aired June 25, 1995 on MTV Germany (which was currently MTV Europe), featuring short snippets from the pilot episodes of Nickelodeon's shows that children would expect a week later. The special can currently be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTR9XpgCLVg.

The original version of Nickelodeon was launched on July 2, 1995 as a block on VH1 Germany. Nickelodeon was on the air from 6:00AM until 8:00PM, when VH1 took over.

Nickelodeon closed on June 1, 1998, due to advertising problems and competition with Der Kinderkanal, and was replaced with MTV2 Pop.

[edit] 2010

From March 30, 2010 German speaking Nickelodeon adopted the international Nickelodeon Branding on-air, online and offline. Nick Germany was renamed Nickelodeon Germany (although some previous idents said Nickelodeon) and Nickelodeon Premium was rebranded NickToons.

[edit] 2011

From June 1, 2011, Nickelodeon Germany will start broadcasting in HD.

[edit] 2012

New logo was used from January 2012. It is now pushed out like the logo used on the website. Along with the launch of the new logo, there are now new idents and bumpers which currently do not have bumpers. These bumpers are from the US and the UK.

[edit] Nick Austria

An 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 Switzerland

A Swiss version of Nick for German-speaking viewers began on April 1, 2009, sharing time with a Swiss version of Viva. Originally, it was a block on SF2.
