Nickelodeon (Salliland)

Logo as of 12 May 2023

**Nickelodeon** (Sallish: **Nìkìlódijon**) is a Sallilandic cable and satellite channel. The Sallilandic counterpart of Nickelodeon is not owned by Viacom and is instead wholly owned by PBV Sjajòqija with license to use the Nickelodeon brand and programming.

## History

After the establishment of Salliland in 1997, the Sallilandic Television Council was looking into deals to locally launch foreign TV channels. MTV Networks Kuboia planned to expand Nickelodeon Kuboia into Salliland with dubbed programming for 1999, but did not for unknown reasons. Dubbed or subtitled Nickelodeon shows instead aired on SRT 2 and PBV2, and later PBV Spark and other PBV-owned channels such as Disney Channel. On 1 June 2005, a feed of the Central European Nickelodeon channel was launched in Salliland but with English audio only and no Sallish audio track nor subtitles.

On 6 December 2005, plans were announced to launch the Kuboian channel, Nick Go!, as a block on Mega in Salliland. Presenters were hired in October 2007. The Sallilandic version was renamed to **Nickelodeon Go !**, and despite its name, it was a regular Nickelodeon block, based more on the American Teenick block rather than the Kuboian Nick Go! channel.

The block would launch on 14 April 2008, broadcasting from Monday to Friday from 13:30 to 17:30 and on Saturday from 07:30 to 11:30, with the one-off introductory special Réleślita ne Nickelodeon Go ! airing on 23 March 2008. Starting in January 2009, the weekday block was extended by an hour and 30 minutes, starting at 12:00 after *Morning Mixtape.*

In March 2009, it was announced that the block would be spun off into its own channel, named simply Nickelodeon, in the second quarter of 2009. On 1 July 2009, with the Up Kanal rebrand, a full Nickelodeon channel was launched in place of Jetix and the Nickelodeon Go! block stopped airing. A HD simulcast launched on 17 August 2009.

The 2009 Nickelodeon logo was launched in Salliland on 23 April 2010, alongside the SD channel converting to widescreen. The studio also received a makeover to match, and the "Nick" name stopped being used. In-vision continuity was dropped in September 2015.

## In-vision continuity

Nickelodeon Salliland used in-vision presentation from 14 April 2008 until September 2015. It was always pre-recorded despite being advertised as live.

### Studio set

The studio was shared between the Kuboian Nick Go! channel and Sallislandic Nickelodeon block. In September 2008, with the move of all transmissions from Kuboia to Salliland, the studio was redesigned with inspiration from the iCarly Studio from *iCarly*. A large Nickelodeon logo (Nickelodeon Go! until June 2009) was hung on the wall alongside pictures of the presenters and characters from Nickelodeon series - namely SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Tommy Pickles, Carly Shay, Timmy Turner, Drake Parker and Josh Nichols.

The studio featured orange "retro" couches, an orange coffee table doubling as a fish tank, and many plants. TVs were mounted all over the room, displaying placeholder videos of the generic idents. The studio also had computers running Windows Vista, which were used in promos for the website.

During December, the studio was decorated with a Christmas tree and other decorations.
