edit   Introduction Shortcuts: P:NICK P:NICKELODEON Nickelodeon, often simply called Nick and originally named Pinwheel, is an American cable channel owned by MTV Networks, a subsidiary of Viacom International. The channel is primarily aimed at children ages 7–17, with the exception of their weekday morning program block aimed at preschoolers ages 2–6. Since 2006, it has been run by MTVN Kids & Family Group President Cyma Zarghami. It is ranked as the #1 cable channel as of 2011, and had been promoted as "The First Kids' Network," as it was the first American television network aimed at children since the Pinwheel days. Nickelodeon broadcasts day runs on Sunday-Thursdays from 7 a.m.-8 p.m., Fridays from 7 a.m.-9 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. (Eastern and Pacific Time). Since 1985, it shares its channel space with Nick at Nite, a night time channel that airs sitcom reruns during the interim hours. It is treated as a separate channel by A.C. Nielsen Co. for ratings purposes. The two services are sometimes referred to under the collective name "Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite", due to their association as two individual channels sharing the same channel space. The network's pre-history began on December 1, 1977 when QUBE, the first two-way interactive cable TV system was launched in Columbus, Ohio by Warner Cable (owned by Warner Communications, and an ancestor of Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment). One of the specialized channels available to subscribers of the QUBE system was Pinwheel, a cable channel offering children's programming. Pinwheel was re-launched as Nickelodeon on April 1, 1979, and despite its prior history on the QUBE system under the Pinwheel name, it has declared that 1979 is the network's official launch year. It began airing on various Warner Cable systems, beginning in Buffalo, New York and quickly expanded its audience reach. More about Nickelodeon and its programs... Show new selections edit   Selected article The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie is an American film written and directed by actress Polly Draper and stars her prodigious sons, Nat Wolff and Alex Wolff, who portray members of a fictional rock group. It tells of the boys' struggles with their fame and an internal dispute that causes the band to temporarily break up. The cast keep their full names on-screen, though Allie DiMeco portrays Nat's female interest Rosalina; the siblings' actress cousin (Jesse Draper) plays the group's gullible babysitter Jesse Cook; and the siblings' jazz pianist father (Michael Wolff) portrays their accordion-playing dad Mr. Wolff. Draper shot the film in the style of a mockumentary—a parody in documentary format—that depicts the daily activities of the characters. It was emboldened by Nat's genuine band, The Silver Boulders, which he created in preschool with his friends—David Levi, Thomas Batuello, and Joshua Kaye—who all portray themselves in the film. Nat composed and performed all the music, though one song was by Alex. ...Archive/Nominations More... edit   Selected picture Credit: Jj98 A lego model of SpongeBob SquarePants as seen at Legoland California in 2009. ...Archive/Nominations More... edit   Did you know... ...that 2.2 million people participated in the U.S. 2008 Kids Pick the President event held by the Nickelodeon TV network? ...that the Rugrats episode "A Rugrats Passover" fell under controversy from the Anti-Defamation League over the designs of two characters featured in it? ...that the children's anime series The Littl' Bits has aired in Japanese, English, Spanish, Polish, German, and Italian? ...Archive/Nominations More... edit   WikiProjects Main projects WikiProject Nickelodeon Sub-projects Avatar: The Last Airbender task force of WikiProject Television • Nicktoons work group of WikiProject Animation • SpongeBob SquarePants work group of WikiProject Animation Related Projects WikiProject Animation • WikiProject Biography • WikiProject Comics • WikiProject Film • WikiProject Fictional characters • WikiProject Media franchises • WikiProject Music • WikiProject Television • WikiProject Video games What are WikiProjects? edit   Selected biography Stephen McDannell Hillenburg (born August 21, 1961) is an American animator, writer, producer, actor, voice actor, and director best known for creating the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.
