Aura (France)

Aura (originally known as Chrgd and later TeenNick) is a French television network that mainly airs programming aimed at ages 6-34. The network launched on June 15th, 2016 after being bumped up from its proposed Fall 2016 launch date.
In April 2017, it was announced that the network would rebrand as the French version of TeenNick sometime in 2017; the rebrand occurred on May 5th, 2017.
In March 2018, Viacom International Media Networks Europe sued then-Curiousgorge66 Studios subsidiary Jetix Cymru for using the TeenNick branding for a general entertainment channel not specifically aimed at teens; Viacom Europe and Jetix Cymru have since reached an out-of-court settlement, including a rename of the channel as Aura.
In November 2019, the channel was selected among six international networks to have a livestream simulcast in the United States courtesy of Flare+. NickFamily Stream carried the livestream from December 2019 until its shutdown in April 2020.
On November 29th, 2020, Aura announced that they were looking to either sell off or shut down the channel due to lowering ratings and the impending launch of a localized version of Flare+ in the country.
