Nickelodeon Scandinavia is a children's channel broadcasting to the Nordic countries. It broadcasts programming from the similarly branded channels in the United Kingdom and the United States, such as Hey Arnold!, SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocko's Modern Life, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, The Wild Thornberrys as well as a few locally produced programmes.
It was launched in the 1996 as a part of the analogue Viasat package, only broadcasting in the morning, sharing one transponder on Sirius 1 (previously Marcopolo 1) with ZTV and one on TV Sat 2 shared with 3+ and other Danish channels [#endnote_start].
The channel is (as of 2006) broadcast on both of the satellite systems pointed at the Nordic region (From Viasat at Sirius 3 with Videoguard encryption and from Canal Digital at Thor 3 with Conax encryption), as well as in the Swedish DTT and most digital cable networks, and some analogue. Most cartoons are dubbed into local languages, and separate audio tracks are available on satellite. Non-cartoon series aimed an older audience is broadcast i English.
The channel only broadcasts between 6 AM and 6 PM, so it usually shares it's bandwidth with other channels. On Viasat it broadcasts on the same channel as Viasat Nature, Viasat Crime and Playboy TV. On Canal Digital, VH1 Classic is broadcast in the downtime, and in the Swedish DTT (Boxer) Star! i shown during the same time. Several cable networks pick the Viasat stream for Nickelodeon.
