Cartoon Network Isn't Teletoon/ViacomCBS

Examples that aired on Teletoon and YTV in Canada are on their own pages.

### Was once this, but later subverted or zig-zagged

* The first four to five seasons of *The Fairly OddParents* can be excused from this trope due to the fact that Nelvana had international distribution rights to those seasons at the time of this example's original writing. However, seasons six and onward play this straight if on a network unrelated to Nickelodeon in any way.
* *Peppa Pig* once aired on Cartoon Network with a US dub. Later, Nick began airing it, in the original British version.

### Subversions/Aversions

* As a rule of thumb, most Nickelodeon shows (especially Nicktoons) that air on TV in other countries often avert this trope by default. That said, some shows still play this completely straight outside of the US.
* Likewise, most of the Dan Schneider shows created for Nick. That said, some shows he was involved in still played this straight in Canada: *Zoey 101*, *All That* (original series), *The Amanda Show*...

### Downplayed

* Buffy the Vampire Slayer and What I Like About You never broadcast on the *main* Nickelodeon, instead being syndicated on TeenNick, the latter *only* because its star used to be associated with Nick.
* Sister, Sister used to broadcast on both TeenNick (back when it was The N) and Disney Channel between 2002 and 2004.

### Completely straight

* In Canada, Pelswick aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In the US, it aired on *Nickelodeon*. And then Nick's license expired and went back to Nelvana.
* Speaking of Canada, Nickelodeon's bad track record of sending live-action series over to Family Channel (not that one) means Nickelodeon might get its own page if every single example of this were documented.
* *Rugrats*, *Caitlin's Way*, and *Are You Afraid of the Dark?* aired on different Disney Channel feeds in some countries.
	+ Ironically in Germany, this also happened with three series that air on CN stateside yet air on that Nick feed: *Adventure Time* (yes, *the full series*, though Nick only aired season 3 onward), *The Amazing World of Gumball* (a CN UK production), and *Johnny Test* (which wasn't originally intended for Cartoon Network that got uncancelled by that network). And that's just the CN shows that air there.
* Double Dare (*Family* Double Dare, to be exact) and Hi Honey, I'm Home! (the first season) didn't air on the Nickelodeon channel space in the US when it came to premiering new episodes. Instead, Family Double Dare aired on Fox, and Hi Honey, I'm Home! aired its first season on ABC, the latter moving exclusively to Nick@Nite starting with its second season.
* *SpongeBob SquarePants*: In Italy, *SpongeBob* aired on Boing, while in Russia, it aired on 2x2, *an adult-oriented network*.

### Justified

* One of the few reasons why Nick shows are caught on non-Nick networks in Japan was because the Japanese version was shut down after a while. Said channel recently got re-launched in the 2010s, but without all the Nick US series.
* Nobody can ever forget that first MTV broadcast. It was repeated on VH1 Classic in 2006, and afterwards, upon relaunch, MTV Classic *aired the first hour again*.
	+ In particular, The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star was the first music video played on MTV. So, in a nutshell, their video was rerun on VH1 Classic, and rerun again after VH1 Classic was retooled into MTV Classic.

### "Why Don't We Have That" examples

* Did you know that MTV Classic was *not* the first? The first television block/television channel launched under that name did so before *2006*. MTV Classic US came in August 2016 and slipped in the ratings ever since. By mid-2020, Nielsen no longer reported the ratings of the US version.
* Nicktoons, as mentioned in the main page, is a US service that isn't available in countries like Southeast Asia and Canada (though there's a reason why Canada does not have a Nicktoons channel).
