Nick Jr. is a television channel in the United Kingdom and Ireland operated by Nickelodeon UK, a joint venture between Viacom International Media Networks Europe and BSkyB. The channel is aimed at pre-school children.
History
Nick Jr. was first broadcast in the UK and Ireland from 1993, during the daytime hours on the main Nickelodeon UK channel. In 1999, the slot was spun off into its own channel, initially broadcasting on channel 606 on Sky, and from 06:00-12:00 alongside Sky Sports 3 on analogue satellite, although this schedule would sometimes be altered if sports were being covered in the early morning. Analogue transmissions ceased some years later. When it first properly aired it was presented by Face. In 2001 MTV Dance started broadcasting during its downtime hours after it was spun off from MTV Extra. MTV Dance acquired its own separate channel in 2002 and both channels have since extended their broadcasting hours. As of 2 August 2010, Nick Jr. broadcasts 24 hours a day, offering a lineup of 'Nick Jr. Classics' including classic programming such as Rainbow, Bagpuss, Mr. Benn, and the like, between 20:00 and 22:00.
The shows are sometimes presented by a number of anthropomorphic characters. The morning show, between 07:00 and 09:00 is presented by Helena Dowling, and is called "Wake Up World".
A version of Nick Jr. for Ireland was launched in 2006. This version, like Nickelodeon Ireland, shares the same schedule as the UK feed, but has Irish adverts. On the 30 April 2010 Nick Jr. introduced a new logo as seen the US.
A 1 hour timeshift named Nick Jr. +1 launched on 2 October 2012 replacing Nicktoons Replay.
The channel will launch a 4D version named Nick Jr 4D on the 24th of August 2013 at 3:00pm, so viewers will get like wet and get wind blown at their face.
