Nicktoons (formerly known asNick Premium from 2007–2010) is a Germanpay television channel owned byParamount Networks EMEAA.
Nicktoons was launched in December 2007 asNick Premium; it aired some of Nickelodeon's live-action and 1990s shows on the network.
In 2009, Nickelodeon announced that Nick Premium would be rebranded as Nicktoons. On 31 March 2010 at 6:04 am, Nick Premium was rebranded as Nicktoons. Some of the programs aired on Nick Premium were removed from the network after Nicktoons was launched. The network airs 24 hours a day. On 1 March 2012, NickToons Germany merged withNicktoons Global.
On 30 June 2014, Sky Deutschland removed Nicktoons from its platform. No reason was given for the decision. Sky, though, stresses in the statement that its focus lies on the expansion of its HD proposition. Nicktoons, however, had only been available in standard definition (SD). Nicktoons remains available in Germany on the cable networks ofUnitymedia andKabel BW and within the mobile TV offering ofDeutsche Telekom among other carriage partners.[1]
On 1 April 2020, the channel returned on Sky Deutschland as a replacement forDisney XD, which closed in Germany the same day.[2][3]
