TeenNick

TeenNick is an American pay television channel owned by the Nickelodeon Group, a subdivision of the Paramount Media Networks division of Paramount Skydance. Aimed primarily at preteens and teenagers, its lineup includes a variety of live-action series inherited from Nickelodeon. The channel launched on September 28, 2009, supplanting two defunct programming blocks which also targeted teenagers: the namesake TEENick on Nickelodeon and The N on Noggin. TeenNick's channel space was first occupied by Nickelodeon Games and Sports for Kids from March 1999 to December 2007, followed by a short-lived, 24-hour version of The N. Nick Cannon, the original host of TEENick, was described in publicity materials as the new channel's "chairman" and programming consultant. Cannon also hosted several shows on TeenNick, including TeenNick Top 10. As of November 2023, TeenNick is available to approximately 44 million pay television households in the United States, down from its peak of 75 million in 2013.
