Nickelodeon (Japan)

Nickelodeon was a Japanese television channel which was targeted mainly at children, teens and adults, operated by ViacomCBS Networks Japan K.K. (a subsidiary of ViacomCBS Networks EMEAA division of ViacomCBS). It originally launched in November 1998 as a cable and satellite television channel, but due to declining viewership, the television channel was taken off the air on September 30, 2009. The channel was revived for OTT media services from to January 30, 2018 to January 31, 2022.

Original
Nickelodeon stopped broadcasting on September 30, 2009 due to robust domestic and international competition.

Revival
The reason for the shutdown was to make way for the Nick+ service.

Probability of returning
Although it returned in 2018 as an exclusive channel for OTT streaming services, the reality is that it only lasted 4 years.

Although it has returned in a modern way, the fact that it has been discontinued makes it the only Paramount channel to have completely closed without being replaced.

Could Nickelodeon Japan be reborn in the future on traditional cable and satellite providers?
