TeenNick
TeenNick is an American pay-TV channel that is operated by the Paramount Media Networks division of Paramount Global. Aimed primarily at teens and tweens, its programming includes a variety of live-action series inherited from sister channel Nickelodeon. The channel launched on September 28, 2009, as the merger between two defunct programming blocks which also targeted a teenage audience: TEENick on Nickelodeon and The N on Noggin. Before its introduction as a channel, TeenNick's space used to be held by Nick GAS (from 1999 to December 31, 2007) and a short-lived, 24-hour version of The N (from December 31, 2007 to 2009).

When the TeenNick channel was first announced in early 2009, its name was spelled "TEENick" like the block it was based on.
Nick Cannon, the original host of the TEENick block on Nickelodeon, was described in publicity materials as the chairman of TeenNick as well as its programming consultant. Cannon also hosted several shows on the channel, including TeenNick Top 10.
As of September 2018, TeenNick is available to approximately 63.314 million pay-TV households in the United States.
