Noggin (brand)

Noggin is an American entertainment brand launched on February 2, 1999. Currently a streaming service, Noggin features educational series and games for children ages 5 to 12. Originally co-founded by Paramount and Sesame Workshop, Sesame left the company in 2002. Paramount retained ownership until 2024, when it sold the brand to Noggin's former CEO, Kristen Kane. From 1999 until 2009, Noggin was a cable television channel. The channel featured a daytime programming block for preschoolers and an overnight block for teenagers called "The N." From 2015 to 2024, Noggin was a streaming service, featuring both classic Noggin series and new original series. In August 2025, Noggin was relaunched as a new streaming app. The new 2025 app features an entirely original library instead of legacy programming from the brand's previous iterations. Noggin has received positive critical reception throughout its history, primarily for its older-targeted series. In 2003, Noggin received a Peabody Award for its series A Walk in Your Shoes. From 2004 to 2008, Noggin won three Webby Awards for its website. Noggin received a Writers' Guild of America Award and three GLAAD Media Award nominations for Miracle's Boys and South of Nowhere, both made for its teen-aimed programming block, The N.
