Nickelodeon (Pacifican TV channel)

Nickelodeon is a children's pay TV channel in Pacifica. It is considered a part of the international Nickelodeon brand and had launched in 1996.

History
Nickelodeon launched on Satellicom on 16 December 1996 as one of the first channels on the satellite provider before expanding onto DirecTV, Eureka and Télécâble Ménard later in the year or in early 1997. Before then, most programmes aired on either Penta or NTC. The channel initially had Nick at Nite as a block from 10pm to 6pm PT, along with Nick Jr. as a morning block from 7:30am to 2:30pm. The former became a channel indirectly under Penta, with the shows' programming moving there.

In 2003, it rebranded with both the international idents shown around most parts of the world and the branding used in the US. The feed later changed their logo in February of 2010. The current branding was introduced from 2017 onwards.

Programming
Most programmes aired on this feed come from the American one, though some programmes from Europe and Asia end up on this channel as well.

Programming blocks
Nick Jr: preschool-oriented block that airs from 7:15am to 2:30pm. During this time, most school-age kids are generally at school during this time period. A now-24 hour separate channel was launched in 2002 and once timeshared with TEENick until 2005.

New Friday Night: Primarily airs new or recently-new Nicktoons and other animated programmes from 7:30 to 9:30pm PT.

SNICK: Short for "Saturday Night Nickelodeon," it has remained as a Saturday primetime block since the channel's launch in 1996. This block primarily offers a mix of Nicktoons and Nickcoms targeted towards preteens and adolecents.

Nick at Nite: Formerly broadcasted as a nighttime block from 10:00pm to 6:00am PT. Most of its shows moved to Penta after 2004.

Events
Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards Pacifica: A local version of the Kids' Choice Awards was hosted in various places in Bedford, Columbia and Marquette between 1998 and 2012 (note that it was only offered in English, though during some years a dubbed version would broadcast on non-English audiotracks). Pacifican voters have had the ability to vote in the American equivalent of the Kids' Choice Awards beginning with the 2013 hosting.
