Nick Jr. is a Dutch pay-TV preschooler's network and is part of the Dutch Nickelodeon network. After the transition of Kindernet to Nickelodeon in 2003,[1] Nick Jr. became a programme block on Nickelodeon in the morning.[2] Nick Jr. was to launch as a separate channel on 1 January 2005, but due to some capacity issues, it finally launched a few months later on 1 May.[3]

Identity

Upon the channel/block's rebrand to it's current name in 2004, it launched its own package, which had a specific jingle and song played in idents. These idents usually consisted of children playing around or dancing, this time in the outdoors, and the logo appeared in a white circle on a plain brightly-coloured background at the end. Sometimes these idents would take up half the ad breaks, or sometimes they appeared in next bumpers. Promo endboards were added as well. Before closing down at 6:45 a.m. (12.05 p.m. at weekdays), it would air the short closedown bumper featuring some characters from Nick Jr. shows and an announcement telling viewers to resume watching at 6 a.m. (5 a.m. after mid 2005) (8.30 a.m. if it's 6.45 a.m. on weekdays), before transitioning to Nickelodeon.

During the significant rebrand of 5 January 2006, Now with normal next bumpers. In addition, the ident package that had been used since 2004 was dropped, as the international versions of Nick Jr. launched a 2D-3D animated pop-up-book-style ident package, with two animals (a parent and a child) forming the Nick Jr. logo, very similar to the package of Nick Jr. on CBS from 2004 to 2006. This package was designed by British animation studio Studio AKA. At night, special idents were played, which either consisted of existing daytime-setting bumpers converted into a nightly backdrop, or night-specific bumpers that only played during that time. At the end of regular Nick Jr. programmes on Nickelodeon, showed a sign-off ident telling viewers to come back at 5 a.m./8:30 a.m., and transitioned to Nickelodeon.
