Nicktoons is an American digital cable and satellite television channel that is owned by Viacom Kids & Family Group, a unit of the Viacom Media Networks division of Viacom. The channel broadcasts original animated series from sister network Nickelodeon, known as Nicktoons, along with other original animated series and foreign animated programs from Nickelodeon's international networks 24 hours a day. As of February 2015, approximately 66.5 million American households (57.2% of households with television) receive Nicktoons. == History == Nicktoons was launched on May 1, 2002, as Nicktoons TV, part of the digital cable-exclusive MTV Digital Suite, in order to entice cable operators to pick up the network and give them a marketing advantage over satellite services. However, by early 2004, Nickelodeon management changed course and offered it to digital satellite services DirecTV and Dish Network. The network was originally marketed as commercial-free, with comedic promos involving Nickelodeon Animation Studios, two-minute cartoon shorts from foreign markets, and former program promotions which had previously been used on Nickelodeon taking up commercial time. By June 6, 2005, as the network's distribution increased, the network began airing regular advertising. On September 28, 2009, the network's logo changed as part of Nickelodeon's universal rebranding effort that also saw Nickelodeon's first logo change in 25 years, and name changes for sister networks: The N to TeenNick and Noggin to Nick Jr.〔(Nickelodeon Unveils New Logo ), ''Variety.com'', July 29, 2009〕 In conjunction with this, the "Network" identifier was dropped, leaving the network to be rebranded as Nicktoons for the second time. On May 2014, it was rebranded with a new logo and bumpers. Nicktoons HD launched on August 13, 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DIRECTV HD Channel Anticipation (Official Q3-13 Thread) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official AVS National HD Channel Lineups - Cable/DBS/Fiber/IPTV - Updated 8/3/13 )〕 Like Viacom's other HD channels, any programming produced in 4:3 SD is pillarboxed on this feed.
