Nickelodeon is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel based on the American cable network of the same name owned by YTV Canada, Inc., a subsidiary of Corus Entertainment under a brand licensing agreement with the Paramount Media Networks division of Paramount Global.
As with all of its sister networks throughout the world, Nickelodeon airs programs aimed at children and young teenagers. Prior and still after to the channel's launch, YTV and Treehouse TV served as the main outlets for both Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. Channel programs under output agreements with Viacom. Both channels continue to premiere new original series from the U.S. networks as they are more widely distributed than the Canadian Nickelodeon channel, owing to their status as analog channels.
Nickelodeon is one of two Paramount-branded channels owned by Corus, along with CMT.
