Nick Jr

Nick Jr. is an American cable television channel, designed for preschool aged children. Owned by Viacom, Nick Jr. first aired in 1994, as a joint project between Viacom’s Nickelodeon television channel and the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), an American non-profit organization responsible for a number of educational children’s programs. The programming block originally aired on Nickelodeon between the later morning and early afternoon hours.http://www.johnnorrisbrown.com/classic-nick/history.htm

The channel was targeted at a pre-teen demographic, airing as “Noggin” on February 2, 1999. Noggin’s programming received low ratings, and the channel was relaunched in 2002, this time as a channel for young children. Viewers were greeted by Noggin’s mascot Feetface, and later Moose and Zee, as they hosted short segments and introduced programs.http://www.nick.com/all_nick/everything_nick/history_home.jhtml Noggin originally ran 24 hours each day, but after the launch of The N, Noggin’s block of teen programs, the channel began airing only 12 hours per day. During its 12 hour block, Noggin aired episodes of original and syndicated children’s programs, including: Allegra's Window, The Backyardigans, Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, Franklin, Gullah Gullah Island, Little Bear, Oobi, Sesame Street, 64 Zoo Lane, and Wonder Pets.http://www.nick.com/all_nick/everything_nick/history_home.jhtml

In an attempt to extend the Nickelodeon brand, Nickelodeon representatives announced that Nick Jr. would replace Noggin, on February 24, 2009. Nick Jr. launched on September 28, 2009, running on a 24 hour scheduling block. Nick Jr. airs classic Nickelodeon and original Nick Jr. programs.http://www.nick.com/upickdaily/tv/upd_21477642.jhtml
