Segments
From 2003 to 2005, the channel used different branding and structure depending on the time of day.

A new set of segments were rolled out on 11th August, 2003:
 * During weekdays, The Nick Jr. Breakfast would air from 6:00a.m. to 9:00a.m., the Lunchtime strand aired from 11:00a.m. to 1:00p.m. and Nick Jr. in the Afternoon aired from 3:00p.m. to 7:00p.m. The 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. timeslot was generally used for educational programming such as Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, Cindi and Friends and Rainbow.

These segments were last used on 30th October, 2005, and were dropped the following day following the channel's updated schedule. Bedtime Business was succeeded by The Jimmer Jammers.
