History
Nickelodeon India was first started in 1999 by Viacom 18.[1]
When the channel was launched, it aired mostly original programs. Few of them are Klasky Csupo programs, like Rugrats, Aaahh! Real Monsters, As told by Ginger, Rocket Power, The Wild Thornberrys and other animated shows like The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Catdog, Hey Arnold!, The Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom. The network used to air live action shows as well, such as Kenan & Kel, Drake and Josh, Clarissa Explains It All, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Nick Bites and lots more. Recently, Nickelodeon is becoming more diverse from all of its international counterparts. The network continuously airs Nicktoon shows while broadcasting locally made shows and acquired ones from all over the world.
Viacom 18 formed a joint venture with India's Television 18 in 2007, bringing motion pictures and other programming to India. This included the production of local programming, such as Nickelodeon India.[2] The venture involved an investment of $90.5 million by Television 18.[3]
Programming
Nick India contains a lot of cartoon programmes that appeal to children such as SpongeBob SquarePants. Besides that, educational shows for toddlers like Dora The Explorer are featured in Nick India's pre-school block, Nick Jr. Anime are the main featured in Nickelodeon. The 2004 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards was aired "exclusively on Nickelodeon India".[4]
Nickelodeon India has not broadcast new programmes. Fanboy and Chum Chum, Fairly Odd Parents, TUFF Puppy and live shows like iCarly, House of Anubis and Big Time Rush. Fairly Odd Parents used to come on Nick India but it has been cancelled[citation needed]. Nickelodeon India is now airing Power Rangers Mystic Force, but only refers to it as a general series brand. However, pictures and descriptions of Power Rangers Samurai are shown on Nick India's website.
