History
The Walloon variant of Nickelodeon was officially launched on 14 July 2006, sharing its analog feed with MTV Wallonia's. It gains revenue through advertisement and product sells. According to the Centre d'Information sur les Médias, Nickelodeon Wallonia was the most watched channel among kids aged 4 and up. During this time, the channel premiered new shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Avatar: the Last Airbender.
In 2010, Nickelodeon Wallonia adopted the new US logo and rebranded its graphical package. In 2011, it switched its aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9. In 2014, Nickelodeon Wallonia premiered Rabbids Invasion, an original series of the channel, which premiered earlier that year on Nickelodeon France.
