Nicktoons (Latin America)

Nicktoons was a Latin American subscription television channel of American origin, owned by ViacomCBS (currently Paramount Global), in which the same cartoons of the sister channel Nickelodeon were broadcast. It began broadcasting on February 4, 2013, although since December 20, 1996, it was broadcast as a programming block within Nickelodeon.

In September 2020, the channel was removed from almost all providers in Latin America and was manually replaced by NickMusic.

Why was it replaced?

 * Little availability: The channel was only distributed in very few providers, which made it have a low audience since the most used in the region are Movistar TV and DirecTV. Well, it has nothing to do with it being replaced.
 * They were broadcasting modern Nickelodeon series that no longer aired instead of those from the 90s and 2000s: Tooncast is doing very well for that, but not to Nicktoons because it was since 2014. To doing it seems like Boomerang in its current version.
 * Because the arrival of Paramount+ was coming: Streaming services have caused reruns channels to no longer be profitable, since with a streaming service you can watch any old series in any place. We are surprised how Tooncast is still on the air despite the arrival of HBO Max in Latin America.
 * ViacomCBS wanted to take advantage of the popularity of music in the region: In 2020, music was having a lot of popularity in Latin America and ViacomCBS was not going to be left behind, although they already had music channels in the region such as MTV and VH1 Megahits, they wanted to bring the existing channel NickMusic to Latin America. Since they needed a space to put the new channel and since it was going to cost a lot of money, the best thing they did was to replace Nicktoons and VH1 Megahits with NickMusic in order to save money.

Probability of returning
Due to its replacement by NickMusic, it is impossible for Nicktoons to return to the region in the future. Even more so, ViacomCBS has already launched its own streaming service (Paramount+) in the region, so now you can watch all the nicktoons that are no longer broadcast on Nickelodeon without the need for a reruns channel.

It's worth noting that Nicktoons since 2014, has gotten worse.
