The Nick Jr. Channel (sometimes shortened to Nick Jr.) is a television channel that is based on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block. It is run by Paramount Global. While the original block started in 1988, the separate channel started on September 28, 2009. It is made for preschoolers and it mostly plays shows that began on the Nickelodeon weekday block.
Since May 2018, the channel has been specially labeled "the Nick Jr. Channel on TV. This is to prevent confusion between the weekday block and the separate channel.
