Nicktoons was launched in December 2007 as Nick Premium; it aired some of Nickelodeon's live-action and 1990s shows on the network.
In 2009, Nickelodeon announced that Nick Premium would be rebranded as Nicktoons. On 31 March 2010 at 6:04 am, Nick Premium was rebranded as Nicktoons. Some of the programs aired on Nick Premium were removed from the network after Nicktoons was launched. The network airs 24 hours a day. On 1 March 2012, NickToons Germany merged with Nicktoons Global.
On 30 June 2014, Sky Deutschland removed Nicktoons from its platform. No reason was given for the decision. Sky, though, stresses in the statement that its focus lies on the expansion of its HD proposition. Nicktoons, however, had only been available in standard definition (SD). Nicktoons remains available in Germany on the cable networks of Unitymedia and Kabel BW and within the mobile TV offering of Deutsche Telekom among other carriage partners.[1]
On 1 April 2020, the channel returned on Sky Deutschland as a replacement for Disney XD, which closed in Germany the same day.[2][3]
