Nickelodeon Southeast Asia is a satellite and cable TV channel for children and teenagers. Operated by MTV Networks Asia Pacific and owned by Viacom International.

In October 11, 2006, Viacom's subsidiary MTV Networks Asia Pacific set up a new unit to manage Nickelodeon's southeast Asia operations.[1][2] In April 1, 2011, Nickelodeon Philippines left the South East Asia feed and redirected broadcast to their new independent feed.[3]

Three different networks exist for the market; one for southeast Asia in general which features Malay, Mandarin and Thai-language soundtracks (along with the original English) and transmits in the PAL format, a Filipino NTSC channel, and a third network for Indonesia.

History

Nick logo used November 6, 1998 to February 12, 2010 in Asia.

In November 1998, Nickelodeon decided to reach the popular channel to the Philippines, Japan & Russia as an attempt to bring the popular channel to Asia. In 2003, it became a part of Nicksplat (Nickelodeon's headquarters in Asia).

In October 11, 2006, Viacom's subsidiary MTV Networks Asia Pacific set up a new unit to manage Nickelodeon South East Asia TV based in Singapore.[4] Nickelodeon was launched in Singapore and expanded its services in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Polynesia. In the present, Nickelodeon Philippines , Nickelodeon Pakistan, and Nickelodeon India started working independently. They started their new website, Nicksplat.com in 2003.

In March 15, 2010, Nickelodeon revamped their logo same as the United States and worldwide and started broadcasting newer Nickelodeon shows from the United States that represents the new Nickelodeon logo and airs latest episodes of current Nick shows.

In April 1, 2011, the Nickelodeon channel in the Philippines was replaced with a dedicated Filipino feed. In April 11, 2011, the lineup was changed prior to Nickelodeon Southeast Asia. The new schedule will put live-action programs in the primetime slot and will double the Nick Jr. block.

On July 1, 2011, the Nick Jr. block on the South East Asia feed was removed. This is because the current Nick. Jr channel which launched in Singapore's StarHub TV on May 18, 2011 was rated the number one channel for the highest average time spent to watch the channel by kids aged 4 to 14 for the first quarter of 2011 in Singapore. Due to the increasing preschool audience, there is also an increasing demand for a 24-hour preschool channel, therefore causing the removal of the block. The new Nick Jr. channel is available in South east asia .[5]
