Background

The Southeast Asian version of Nickelodeon (broadcast from Singapore) was made available to the viewers on Sky Digital and UHF in New Zealand in January 2000.

[edit]

The channel broadcast for 24 hours a day. Nick Jr. was a block on the channel, broadcasting from 9:30am to 2pm from Monday to Wednesday, 9:30am to 2:30pm on Thursday and Friday and 6:30 to 8am on weekends.[1]

Closure

[edit]

According to the NZPA, MTV Networks New Zealand (which consists of Nickelodeon, MTV and Comedy Central) announced in September 2010 that it would close its New Zealand offices from 1 December 2010, with the networks' portfolio continuing to run from the MTV Networks Australia's Sydney offices.[2] This meant that Viacom's television channel operations in New Zealand were to be overseen from Australia, with both Nick Jr. and MTV Classic announced to launch in New Zealand.

On 1 December 2010, the Australian version of Nickelodeon replaced the New Zealand version.[3]
