Nickelodeon, Nick for short, is the name of an American cable TV network well known for its innovative children's programming. Nickelodeon went on the air in 1979 and has continued to produce innovative programming, such as Pinwheel, You Can't Do That on Television, Double Dare, Clarissa Explains It All, Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocket Power, and My Life as a Teenage Robot. Starting with "You Can't Do That On Television", Nickelodeon also became known for its famous variation of synthetic green slime which was also used for Nick's Slime Time.

Later, UPick-live was launched near the end of the 20th century. It aims for voting for a show that is from Nickelodeon content. Nick J.G.G. is broadcasted on Japanese Nickelodeon.

Nickelodeon, owned by Viacom, has also spun off the following cable networks: Nick Too, Nick Games and Sports (Nick GAS), NickToons, and Noggin (a joint venture with Sesame Workshop). They also operate language- or culture-specific Nickelodeon channels for various markets in different parts of the world, and have licensed translated versions of some of their cartoons and other content to TV and cable stations (such as Kinderkanal of Germany, and Alpha Kids from Greece) in areas not directly served by Nickelodeon.

Its website nick.com was launched in 1995. Nick began to introduce info on shows, etc. Nickpoints was later introduced. Other websites like nickjapan.com were introduced later, with fewer games than nick.com.
