Noggin started out as a cable TV channel. The channel's schedule was divided into two blocks: one for older children and teenagers, and one for preschoolers.[2] For its first three years, the older-skewing block made up most of Noggin's schedule, and the preschool shows were limited to the morning hours. In April 2002, the preschool block was extended to last for 12 hours each day. At the same time, the teen block was given a new name, "The N" (standing for Noggin).[3][4]
Sesame Workshop eventually sold its stake in Noggin in August 2002, but it continued to co-produce new content for the brand until 2009. In 2009, Noggin's channel space was replaced by the Nick Jr. Channel, but Noggin was relaunched as a streaming service in 2015.[5][6][7] Since 2020, the Noggin streaming service has produced its own exclusive series.
1999 TV channel
The Noggin channel launched on February 2, 1999 and closed on September 28, 2009. It started out mainly aimed at tweens and teenagers, with a few of its morning programs aimed at younger children. From April 1, 2002 onward, the channel devoted half of its schedule (6 a.m. to 6 p.m.) to preschoolers and the other half (6 p.m. to 6 a.m.) to its original older audience.
Original series
MTV Networks and Sesame Workshop created a company, Noggin LLC, to produce original content for their network in 1999. In 2002, Sesame Workshop sold its stake in Noggin LLC,[8][9] but it continued to co-produce content for Noggin.[10]
Reruns of series from Sesame Workshop's content library were shown as a staple of Noggin from 1999 to 2005.[23] Two syndication packages of Sesame Street episodes, titled Sesame Street Unpaved and 123 Sesame Street, were created specifically by and for Noggin LLC.[24]
In March 2015, the Noggin brand was relaunched as a video-on-demand streaming app. It has featured shows from the original Noggin channel as well as some exclusive shows and currently-running series from Nickelodeon's library.[43]
