Nickelodeon is divided into three programming blocks: 7am-3pm is Nick Jr., with shows aimed at preschool-aged children; 3-9pm is "proper" Nickelodeon; and after 9 it becomes Nick @ Nite, airing syndicated reruns of classic tv shows. In its early years, Nick relied heavily on exports from Canada (for live-action kids' shows) and Japan (for animation), but the creation of Nickelodeon Studios in 1990 led to more original content.
Nick is also the creator of the annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, an award show celebrating children's favorites in entertainment media.
Several other specialized cable channels have spun off from it, including TV Land (a spin-off of Nick at Nite airing tv oldies all day), Nick Jr. (also spun off as an all-day channel), TeenNick, Nicktoons, NickMusic, and Noggin.note There are also several Nick-branded channels on Pluto TV.
The network is currently owned by Paramount Global, who also owns CBS, MTV, VH1, Paramount Network, Comedy Central, Showtime and others.
