Nick Junior is an Indian children's pay television kids channel which is devoted to toddlers. The channel is the Indian equivalent to the original American network and a part of the Nickelodeon franchise.

History

The channel was a block on Nick India then Viacom 18 launched it as a separate channel in fall of 2012.[2]

Viacom 18 launched TeenNick and Nick Jr. as a single channel on 21 November 2012. Nick Jr. airs in the daytime while TeenNick aired at night, similar to what the USA Noggin (now known as Nick Jr. Channel) does with it's teen block The N (now known as TeenNick). However, TeenNick was discontinued since 1 February 2017, which made Nick Jr. a 24-hour channel, also similar to what USA Noggin did with The N, but The N has its own 24 hour channel now replacing Nick GAS channel on December 2007.
