Nickelodeon (a.k.a. Nick) is a South Korean cable TV channel aimed at children, teens and adults. It is the South Korean version of American Nickelodeon.

In South Korea, some original programmes from Nickelodeon, like Rugrats, Rocket Power, The Wild Thornberrys, SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer, were terrestrially shown on EBS, except The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius that made debut on MBC. The Korean version of those programmes were produced by the broadcasters themselves.

JEI TV (a cable and satellite TV channel owned by JEI Corporation), after making agreement with Viacom, ran a Nickelodeon TV block for years. It started with TV programmes that were not shown on terrestrial channels. But later, they aired their own Korean dub of what were shown on EBS. Those another dubs were produced by Arirang TV. This caused a nation-wide controversies in South Korea.

With the launch of SkyLife satellite TV platform, a Southeast Asian version of Nickelodeon made available exclusively to the platform's subscribers. However, after an agreement between On-Media (Then owned by Orion Group) and MTV Networks Asia, a dedicated South Korean version of Nickelodeon, initially branded as Nick, with experimental broadcasts began on August 1, 2005, was officially launched exclusively on cable TV on late 2005, along with a Nickelodeon block on Tooniverse. Nickelodeon SEA on SkyLife was shut down on the days before or after August 1, 2005.

In around November 2006, it became a subsidiary of C&M Communication, along with MTV Korea, when On-Media sold its share of On Music Network (now MTV Networks Korea). But a Nickelodeon block on Tooniverse continued to go. The channel officially became Nickelodeon in 2010, with new logo that unveiled months ago in the U.S.

In September 2011, SBS, a South Korean commercial terrestrial broadcaster, became the official South Korean partner of Viacom. With this, Nickelodeon became a part of SBS.[1][2]
