Eras

Like any other television network, Nickelodeon has routinely gone through many different iterations and rebrands throughout its life, usually lasting for some years and containing multiple (and quite unique) assets. This page lists all known eras and on-air identities that the channel has used over the past few decades.
Dedicated era pages are still in progress!
