Nickelodeon is not a pay-TV network

The network is not a pay-TV one. Nickelodeon has always been basic cable, which means you get all things you would get in basic cable (meaning limited commercials mostly), but it's not commercial-free. Pay-TV means no commercials. That doesn't mean no interruptions (Disney Channel has promo breaks, but they have no commercials; I would not be surprised if Disney Channel, like HBO, Cinemax, Starz, does occasionally air promo break-free movies. 2603:9001:A000:2AC:BD87:C5B9:662F:DCEC (talk) 17:31, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect, Nickelodeon never has meant to be commercial-free 189.216.183.9 (talk) 20:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what I said. And that's why I said it was basic cable. It's not pay TV at all. RobertFL1991 (talk) 19:58, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This also goes for their outer networks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9001:A000:2AC:BD87:C5B9:662F:DCEC (talk) 17:31, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect. Please see pay television… Pay does not, and never has meant commercial-free. Nick is a subscription-based channel, where fee-for-service is paid indirectly via multichannel television subscription fees. Networks negotiate their rate for carriage with the cable operator, and that rate is incorporated into the subscribers' cost. Basic cable is a set of channels where networks have contractually required operators to carry their content on the operators' base level of service – requiring operators to carry, and users to pay for, often large and expensive bundles of channels. For example, ESPN alone adds roughly $10 USD to subscribers' bills, while most channels cost $0.50, ^[1] and C-SPAN costs less than $0.05^[2] -- dsprc ^[talk]

@Dsprc Um, nothing in that definition says it's not commerial-free. "Since pay-television networks are usually devoid of commercial programming" (or something to that effect) is said.

Plus here it says it's basic cable. Nickelodeon makes its money off advertising. RobertFL1991 (talk) 19:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indoctrination of small children

I was just watching a Blues Clues show with my great grandson when a counting segment came on with a totally indoctrinated same sex and queer countdown came on. I was appalled and mad to see this be pushed on a children’s show that he loves. We will no longer be watching this show or purchasing any merchandise. I should have expected this from Nickelodeon though. But not in my house for my family. Pushing this agenda is sick. 47.188.229.156 (talk) 17:33, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
