History

The French variant of Nickelodeon was announced in 2005,[1] and was officially launched on 16 November of that same year.[2] The channel's application to broadcast on the French digital terrestrial television was rejected by the CSA in favour of Gulli, a kids-oriented state-owned channel. It gains revenue through advertisement and product sells.[3] At the time, its market value was equal to €300 million.[3] According to a research conducted by ConsoJunior in 2006, Nickelodeon France was the most watched channel among kids between 4 and 14 years old.[2] During this time, the channel premiered new shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: the Last Airbender and Dora the Explorer.[2] Thereafter, during the first half of 2007, Nickelodeon increased its audience share by 113% over a year.[2] Due to this, some French celebrities such as Matt Pokora started to appear on the channel as hosts.[4]

On 26 January 2010, Nickelodeon France adopted the new logo and rebranded its graphical package.[5] On that same day, the preschool channel Nickelodeon Junior was launched.[6] In November of that same year, the network celebrated its fifth anniversary.[7] In 2011, it switched its aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9. In May 2013, Nickelodeon announced the release of 2 new videogames of Dora the Explorer, in association with 2K Games.[8]

From 28 June to 12 July 2013, the channel organised the Crazy Tour Nickelodeon on six malls in France.[9] On 6 September 2014, Nickelodeon France premiered Rabbids Invasion, an original series of the channel.[10]

On 19 November 2014, Nickelodeon 4Teen was launched, with its programming being centred on series for teenagers.[11]

On 22 September 2015, Nickelodeon HD was launched.[12][13]

In March 2016, Nickelodeon +1 was launched, replacing timeshift feed MTV +1.
