Launched on March 4, 2001[1], the block initially aired on Sunday nights from 6-9 p.m. ET/PT before expanding to Saturday nights from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT in 2005 (replacing the SNICK block that had been broadcast on the channel since 1992). It was originally hosted by Nick Cannon, and then later hosted by Jason Everhart (aka "J Boogie").
On February 1, 2009, the TEENick block, along with the the N, and Noggin, were silently discontinued in preparation for the launch of the TeenNick and Nick Jr. channels on September 28 of that year. When the TeenNick channel was first announced in early 2009, its name was spelled "TEENick" like its predecessor.[2] The TEENick block's original host, Nick Cannon, became the TeenNick channel's chairman.
History
TEENick aired on Sunday nights from 6 to 9 p.m. ET/PT. In 2005, it was rebroadcast on Saturday from 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT (replacing the popular SNICK block that started in 1992). Saturday night editions were broadcast as "TEENick Saturday Night" until the end of 2006 where it rebranded as "TEENick" for both broadcasts. The inaugural host was Nick Cannon, followed by Jason Everhart (a.k.a. "J. Boogie"). TEENick's programming mainly consisted of live-action comedies, such as True Jackson, VP, The Troop, and iCarly, as well as occasional reruns of animated shows such as All Grown Up! and My Life as a Teenage Robot.
Meanwhile, The N was an overnight block on Noggin that launched on April 1, 2002, running from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. ET every day. Series that previously aired during Noggin's time as an all-ages channel — like A Walk in Your Shoes and Sponk! — migrated to The N. The block spawned several original series, including the animated comedy O'Grady and the live-action dramas Out There and South of Nowhere. The N was also the U.S. broadcast home of Canada's Degrassi: The Next Generation. Like the rest of the Noggin channel, The N's original shows were created with educational goals,[3] which was uncommon for teen programming at the time.
On August 13, 2007, Viacom announced that it would shut down Nick GAS at the end of the year, with a 24-hour version of The N taking over its channel space. The N's standalone network ran for less than two years, from December 31, 2007 to September 28, 2009. A block called "TEENick on The N" introduced several TEENick series into the channel's lineup, including Drake & Josh, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, and Zoey 101.[4][5] According to Polygon, "Nickelodeon began phasing out The N's programming and replacing it with TEENick, an entertainment block with no educational curriculum and zero involvement from Noggin. The N lost its footing by 2009, and both [The N] and its website closed down completely."[6]
Replacement
TeenNick is the successor to TEENick and The N. The TeenNick channel debuted on September 28, 2009, at 6 a.m. ET, accompanied by the debut of a new logo, designed by New York-based creative director/designer Eric Zim. Nick Cannon, who was the original host of the TEENick block itself,[7] was declared in publicity materials as the "Chairman of TeenNick."[8] Cannon had a major presence on the channel, appearing in network promotions, continuing to be associated in some way with the network until the cancellation of the TeenNick Top 10 in 2018.[9] Several shows from TEENick and The N's program libraries were carried over to the TeenNick channel, though the majority of the programming came from TEENick's library rather than The N's.
