Noggin is an American children's television brand owned by Nickelodeon, a division of ViacomCBS. The brand was originally launched as a cable television channel on February 2, 1999, and has since evolved into a streaming service and educational brand.

History

Noggin was created as a joint venture between Nickelodeon and Children's Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop). The channel was initially aimed at pre-teens and teenagers, featuring a mix of educational and entertainment programming. Over time, Noggin shifted its focus to preschool-aged children.

In 2002, Noggin introduced a programming block called "The N," which targeted teenagers. This block eventually became its own channel, TeenNick, in 2009. Following this change, Noggin rebranded to focus exclusively on preschool content.

Programming

Noggin's programming includes a variety of educational and entertaining shows designed for preschoolers. Some of the notable shows that have aired on Noggin include:

• Blue's Clues
• Dora the Explorer
• Little Bear
• Oswald
• Franklin

Streaming Service

In 2015, Noggin was relaunched as a subscription-based streaming service. The service offers a library of classic Noggin shows, as well as new original content. The Noggin app is available on various platforms, including iOS, Android, and Amazon Fire TV.

Educational Content

Noggin places a strong emphasis on educational content, with a focus on early childhood development. The service includes interactive games, videos, and activities designed to help children develop skills in areas such as literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning.
