Nickelodeon To Likely Remain On Air Until At Least 2027

For several months, Paramount has begun reducing the amount of focus invested onto their linear offering. Nicktoons is a prime example as the channel has been overflowing their lineup with SpongeBob SquarePants and a spinoff to The Loud House, The Casagrandes.

The Loud House was getting the same amount of attention as abovementioned shows but no one knows at this point why it fell off the schedule more turn to its censorship at Nickelodeon while others turn to the current offering on Nicktoons mostly scrapped content.

NickMusic which has been more of a hit miss or hit run is the only thing giving Nicktoons life at this point. But with the amount of local music flooding the airwaves I'm sure MTV Base will do a better job pampering the existing lineup in the show.

As mentioned, Paramount seems to be cutting back on their linear channels. It's not only Nicktoons that has been affected but MTV, Comedy Central, BET and Nickelodeon appear to be tagging along as their websites had been wiped off the face of the earth.

Paramount had been gaining more exclusivity to Nickelodeon as the brand shuttered in Asia and watered down in Canada with Nicktoons suffering a similar fate in Latin America. As for Africa, Nicktoons is being treated like MTV Hits - non existent.

As much as the evidence of a potential closure keeps piling up. The sad part to all of that is the channel's licence in some parts of Europe primarily Scandinavia, Poland and Netherlands had been extended for another 5 long and boring years.

As seen on Paramount Africa's websites, most of their feeds had been redirected to these regions primarily Netherlands hinting at the possibility that Nicktoons even sister channels Nickelodeon and Nick Jr could remain on air for another 5 years although their duration is yet to be confirmed.

MultiChoice has halted a lot of channels during the year and this is me hoping that Nicktoons doesn't make it through 2027 unscathed as Da Vinci a channel which is more productive was almost crucified for the JimJam and Baby TV inspired Moonbug Kids.
