Nick Jr. is a part of Nickelodeon that plays shows primarily made for children under age 6. Nick Jr. always played weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., which made this programming block perfect for young children's viewings while older kids were in school. It was first launched in the late 1980s. In 1994, the host of Nick Jr., Face debuted. The current host, Piper O'Possum began its tenure in 2004.

Nick.com contains Flash games for most of its TV lineup.

Nickelodeon (Nick for short, launched April 1, 1979) is a cable TV network primarily for children and pre-teens, but also features shows for teenagers in TEENick. The first Nickelodeon channel was American, but there are now several channels in different countries such as South East Asia, Japan, Australia, and UK.

Nickelodeon has produced and aired many programs. The channel became known for its iconic green slime, originally used on the Canadian sketch-comedy show You Can't Do That on Television. It was then adopted by the station as a primary feature of many of its shows, a few gone off the channal, especially Slime Time Live, U-Pick Live, and Friday Night Slimetime.

Many adults know the service best for its Nick at Nite offerings of classic TV sitcoms in the prime-time and overnight hours.
