TeenNick

TeenNick is an American pay television channel owned by the Nickelodeon Group, a subdivision of the Paramount Media Networks division of Paramount Skydance. Aimed primarily at preteens and teenagers, its lineup includes a variety of live-action series inherited from Nickelodeon. The channel launched on September 28, 2009, supplanting two defunct programming blocks which also targeted teenagers: the namesake TEENick on Nickelodeon and The N on Noggin. TeenNick's channel space was first occupied by Nickelodeon Games and Sports for Kids from March 1999 to December 2007, followed by a short-lived, 24-hour version of The N. Nick Cannon, the original host of TEENick, was described in publicity materials as the new channel's "chairman" and programming consultant.
