Recap To The Month: Could Nicktoons Africa Be On The Chopping Block As More Nickelodeon And Nick Jr. Enter The Channel?

A few years ago, Nick Jr. rolled out a dedicated preschool block on Nicktoons featuring shows such as Paw Patrol, Dora The Explorer, Blaze And The Monster Machine and Peppa Pig. Initially serving as a 4 hour block at launch was halved over the years.

We believe the viewership for the channel plummeted as most of their demographic view brands like Cartoon Network and DreamWorks and the other having to make the channel look almost identical to Nick Jr. and limiting the amount of older kids programming.

Of course, there's a lot of complications with the Nick brands across Africa. Nickelodeon Africa is accessible even on rival platforms while in South Africa the brand is viewed as a premium channel same goes for Nick Jr. but with Nicktoons it's where the rolls have been reserved.

That could explain why the channel offered less repeats from Nickelodeon at one point and why currently there's a Nick Jr. The increase in hours for the block is probably another way to give these

Here's the schedule for the channel as follows on weekdays:

Interesting to note, Nicktoons is still The SpongeBob SquarePants and Casagrandes Channel. We believe this may have to do with the fact that The Loud House has been deemed inappropriate in other countries so they went for the runner-up.

Also interesting to take into account, Nick Jr. has got more airtime 45 minutes to be exact as if anyone cares about the 3am slot but it does leave as even more curious to the shift in programming for the channel.

Could it be possible Paramount is ready to retire the brand as most of the offering Best & Bester and The Twisted Timeline Of Sammy And Raj will likely be forgotten in the next couple of months or a year with the others already viewable through Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.

NickMusic and Zulu SpongeBob SquarePants basically the only original aspect to Nicktoons could as well be transmitted through Nickelodeon if Paramount ever learns to put their thinking caps on.
