History

Nick Jr. (Australia) Nick Jr australia 2003 YouTube

Before Nick Jr. officially launched as a 24-hour TV channel, it was part of Nickelodeon's morning line-up which included such shows as Blue's Clues , Bob the Builder and Dora the Explorer.

On 21 January 2004, Foxtel announced a brand new digital service along with new channel line-ups which included Nick Jr. and on 14 March 2004, Nick Jr. officially launched to be the first 24-hour Australian kids channel to play shows suited for pre-schoolers.

For a few months after Nick Jr. became a full channel, it kept a 2-hour time slot on Nickelodeon in the mornings from 8:00am until 10:00am, but the time allocated to the block was far shorter than it was before it became a full channel.

The channel used the new Nick Jr. logo from Friday 26 March 2010. From 2004 until 2010, the channel used a localised logo with two Kangaroos with the tradition of 'Nick' (representing the adult) and 'Jr.' (as the child).

On 3 December 2013, Nick Jr. became available on Foxtel's streaming service Foxtel Go.

On 1 January 2014, Nick Jr. launched on Australian IPTV provider FetchTV.

The channel aired for a time as a 2-hour block in the afternoons on Sky Television in New Zealand, until this ceased in 2013.
