Origins (1988-2009) 2009-2018
The Nick Jr. Channel launched on September 28, 2009. It is named after the long-running Nick Jr. block which is seen on the main Nickelodeon channel. When the channel launched, it replaced the channel space previously held by Noggin. The Noggin brand was eventually relaunched as a streaming service in March 2015. From its launch in 2009 until 2015, the channel would have a different "theme" each month. A short, animated music video was produced for each theme. In addition, selected episodes of the channel's programs that were related to a certain theme (such as pirates or music) were shown. Examples included "Wild Safari" (animals) and "Spooky Tales" (Halloween). Most Nick Jr. programming is aimed at preschoolers aged 2 to 5 years old. A late-night programming block aimed at parents, NickMom, aired on Nick Jr. from October 1, 2012 to September 28, 2015. As of August 2013, the Nick Jr. channel is available to approximately 76,389,000 pay television households (66.89% of households with television) in the United States.
2018-present
On May 21, 2018, the channel refreshed their imaging with new interstitial pieces and updated curriculum notices, and began to promote themselves as the "Nick Jr. Channel" audibly and visually to avert confusion with the Nickelodeon block. The Dora the Explorer episode "Dora Rocks!" was the first program to air with this look. FuboTV (an internet television service founded in 2015) added Nick Jr. to their live TV service, along with VH1, MTV, CMT and more on April 30, 2019. Nick Jr. programs can also be found on its Nick Jr. Pluto TV channel.
Noggin Hour block
From May 2021 to May 2023, the Nick Jr. Channel aired an hour-long block of programming from the Noggin app every Friday. The block, called Noggin Hour, featured shows like Noggin Knows and JoJo & Gran Gran. Noggin interstitials played during commercial breaks, and a purple screen bug reading "On Noggin" was shown toward the beginning of each show. On days when the block ran for more than an hour, the NickJr.com schedule listed the block under an alternate title: "Noggin Presents." on the "Noggin Hour" block, with the special screen bug in the top right.
The Nick Jr. Channel's schedule primarily consists of reruns from Nickelodeon's preschool programming library, along with a few original series exclusive to the channel. Such content includes Blue's Clues & You!, PAW Patrol, Peppa Pig, Bubble Guppies, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Santiago of the Seas, Ryan's Mystery Playdate, Baby Shark's Big Show!, and The Adventures of Paddington.
In a similar manner to its sister channel Nicktoons, the channel is sometimes used to premiere remaining episodes of ended shows that originated on the main Nickelodeon channel.
High-definition feed
An HD feed of the channel was launched on August 1, 2013, broadcasting at 1080i 60 lines. As of 2017, many cable providers, along with DIRECTV, U-verse TV, and Verizon FiOS, carry the HD simulcast feed and downscale it to letterboxed 480i for the standard definition feed.
Nick Jr. on Demand
Nick Jr. on Demand is the network's video-on-demand service, which is available on most subscription providers. It carries Nickelodeon's preschool programming.
Nick Jr. on Pluto TV
