Nickelodeon (Borundia)

Nickelodeon, branded on-air as Nick, is a Borundian children's pay television channel owned by a joint venture of and Selihat Holdings. It was branched from the mainstream Nesionytan feed in 2011 as its own independent Nickelodeon channel. It primarily serves northern Nesionyta. Nickelodeon is headquartered in the Shamiyar square of Banonkor. It competes with Kakinga TV, Minimax and the pirate Betix. Originally prelaunched as STV Kids in 2010, it was finalized as Nickelodeon after STV itself was bought by Viacom in May 2010.

Prelaunch
In 2004, Selihat Holdings' chairman, Hamoud Abdollahi Atek, argued that the children's television industry is very small in Borundia and needs improvement and expansion. At the time, Kakinga TV was the sole children's television channel in Borundia, and mostly aired content for younger children. Atek stated that it was necessary to cater to older children and launch a channel specifically for them, although Borundians could access satellite channels such as Cartoon Network Nesionyta and.

Selihat registered a trademark for "STV Kids" in 2006, but was declined for unknown reasons. Due to this, STV made an agreement with Viacom to air Nickelodeon shows in their channel during weekend mornings. In August 2009, Selihat again applied for a license for STV Kids, and this time it was approved. STV Kids was originally planned to be launched on August 15, 2010, but this was later delayed after Viacom acquired 40% of STV's stake in May of that year.

As Nickelodeon
As STV Kids' proposed lineup mostly consisted of Nickelodeon shows, Viacom and Selihat agreed to convert the channel into a standalone localized Nickelodeon feed. In December 2010, STV Kids was renamed to Nickelodeon, after the government of Borundia approved both entities' proposal to do so. At the time, the Bhikalar sub-feed of Nickelodeon was broadcasting in Northern Nesionyta. Its sister, Nick Jr., was also proposed to be launched at the same date as Nickelodeon. It was originally to be launched on March 30, 2011, but was delayed due to financial reasons.

On July 13, 2011, Nickelodeon's pan-Nesionytan feed halted operations in Borundia, with its feed of Nickelodeon being officially launched at exactly 3:00pm, along with Nick Jr. Its initial programming included popular Nicktoons such as ', ', ', ', and . Only these five programs were aired on the channel in its first two months, until more programming was added. It did not air any live action programs until August 2012.

By 2013, Nickelodeon Borundia expanded to the rest of the northern Nesionytan region, and began simulcasting with Nickelodeon's pan-Asian feed, adding its content to the channel. On May 10, 2014, Nickelodeon Borundia acquired the original series , which was taken off the channel after two months due to poor ratings. On August 12, 2016, due to power failure in the Selihat Television Center in the Shamiyar square, Nickelodeon, along with all other STV channels, were taken off the air for the whole day. Transmissions resumed on August 13.

On September 25, 2017, five days after the pan-Nesionytan feed, the channel rebranded and refreshed its graphics, aligned with the premiere of  in that country. It also introduced a Nuhin language audio track, replacing the English language track. In February 2018, Nickelodeon Borundia was removed from Gezirnusi cable and satellite providers for unknown reasons and was replaced with Nickelodeon Asia.
