History of Nickelodeon : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Nickelodeon Nickelodeon is an American basic cable and satellite television network owned by the MTV Networks Kids & Family Group, a unit of the Viacom Media Networks division of Viacom, which focuses on programs aimed at children and teenagers; it has since expanded to include three spin-off digital cable and satellite networks in the United States, and international channels in six continents. ==Early history (1977–1979)==
Nickelodeon's history dates back to December 1, 1977, when QUBE, the first two-way major market interactive cable television system was launched in Columbus, Ohio by Warner Cable (owned by Warner Communications (now known as Time Warner), and predecessor to Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment). One of the ten "community" channels that were offered at no additional charge to QUBE subscribers was C-3, which exclusively carried Pinwheel each day from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.〔http://www.qube-tv.com/qube-tv/GUIDE_PDFS/PAGE47-48.pdf〕 The channel was developed by Dr. Vivian Horner, who worked as director of research on the PBS series ''The Electric Company'' and created ''Pinwheel'' (one of Nickelodeon's earliest series, which spun off from the C-3 service), and Warner Cable CEO Gus Hauser.〔http://www.cablecenter.org/barco-library-hauser-oral-history/item/hauser-gustave.html〕 Nickelodeon was originally used as a loss leader for then-parent company Warner Cable. As the company saw it, having a commercial-free children's channel would prove useful in franchising its cable systems across the country, with that advantage putting them over rival companies such as HBO.
