TeenNick is an American pay-TV channel that is operated by the Paramount Media Networks division of Paramount Global. Aimed primarily at teens and tweens,[1][2] its programming includes a variety of live-action series inherited from sister channel Nickelodeon. The channel launched on September 28, 2009, as the merger between two defunct programming blocks which also targeted a teenage audience: TEENick on Nickelodeon and The N on Noggin. Before its introduction as a channel, TeenNick's space used to be held by Nick GAS (from 1999 to December 31, 2007) and a short-lived, 24-hour version of The N (from December 31, 2007 to 2009).
When the TeenNick channel was first announced in early 2009, its name was spelled "TEENick" like the block it was based on.[3]
Nick Cannon, the original host of the TEENick block on Nickelodeon, was described in publicity materials as the chairman of TeenNick[4] as well as its programming consultant. Cannon also hosted several shows on the channel, including TeenNick Top 10.
As of November 2023[update], TeenNick is available to approximately 44,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2013 peak of 75,000,000 households.[5]
