{{Main|Nicktoons (American TV channel)}}

'''Nicktoons''' is a [[pay television]] network that launched on May 1, 2002,<ref name=":2" /> as '''Nicktoons TV'''; it was renamed Nicktoons in April 2003 and rebranded as '''Nicktoons Network''' in September 2005 before reverting to its previous name in September 2009. The network airs a mix of newer live-action and animated shows from Nickelodeon such as ''[[Henry Danger]]'', ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'', ''[[The Loud House]]'', ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', and ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' alongside original series airing exclusively on Nicktoons.

==== TeenNick ====
{{Main|TeenNick}}
'''TeenNick''' is a pay television network that is aimed at [[adolescent]]s and young adults, named after the [[TeenNick#As programming blocks (2001–2009)|TEENick block]] that aired on Nickelodeon from March 2001<ref>{{cite web|last=Reynolds|first=Mike|title=New Nick Block Aims for Tweens|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-71874376.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105162615/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-71874376.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 5, 2012|work=Cable World|publisher=|access-date=February 25, 2011|date=February 19, 2001}}</ref> to February 2009. The channel merged programming from the TEENick block with [[The N (TV programming block)|The N]], a former block on Noggin. Although TeenNick has more relaxed program standards than the other Nickelodeon channels (save for Nick at Nite and the NickMom block on Nick Jr.) – allowing for moderate profanity, suggestive dialogue and some violent content – the network has shifted its lineup almost exclusively towards current and former Nickelodeon series (including some that are [[burning off|burned off]] due to low ratings on the flagship channel) that have stricter content standards. It also airs some acquired sitcoms and drama series.

'''NickMusic''' is a pay television network in the United States featuring music videos from artists appealing to Nickelodeon's target audience. It launched on the channel space formerly held by MTV Hits on September 9, 2016.

Like its sibling [[music video]]-only networks [[BET#Sister networks|BET Jams, BET Soul]], and [[CMT (American TV channel)#CMT Music|CMT Music]], NickMusic is based on an [[broadcast automation|automated]] "wheel" schedule that was introduced during the early years of [[MTV2]]. A new loop starts at 6 a.m. [[Eastern Time Zone|Eastern Time]], and is then repeated at 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. [[Lyric video]]s are sometimes substituted due to content concerns with the artist's actual music video.

[[File:MTV_Hits_Logo_2012.png|90px|left|thumb|Final logo for MTV Hits from March 26, 2012, until September 9, 2016.]]
The network launched on May 1, 2002, as ''MTV Hits'', with its programming composed entirely of music videos. As with [[BET Jams|MTV Jams]], the network was named for a daily program on MTV; in this case, ''MTV Hits'', which was that network's main [[pop music]] video program. The network composed of current hit music videos, along with a few older videos from earlier in the year, as well as a few from the late 1990s. As both MTV Hits and NickMusic, the network has maintained a commercial-free format, other than internal promotions for Nickelodeon or MTV and MTV-branded properties.

The network has no individual or original programs; ''TeenNick Top 10'', a program shared with [[TeenNick]], was cancelled in mid-2018. In electronic program listings, the titles of each 'block' merely delineate an hour in those listings and outside those titles denoting video theming, have no on-air mention. The network's specific theming to younger pop artists has also been underplayed as of 2024, due to various cuts at Paramount Global and the network's complete disassociation from further developing "triple threat" stars due to personnel and industry changes.
