Disney and Nickelodeon Channels Across North America Shuts Down Due To Licensing Issues

It's happening again in another bombshell that unfortunately marks the deaths of many famous cable and streaming tv channels that has been happening since the beginning of this decade. Some of Disney and Nickelodeon's biggest names in cable TV are about to be no more.

In the USA,Paramount has announced that The N, TeenNick and NickMusic, three of Nickelodeon's sister networks will be getting the chop alongside one of Comedy Central's services and nine MTV channels, including MTV networks dedicated to 1980s, 1990s and 2000s content. It's currently unknown what date these Paramount USA channels will be axed, though one of Nick's competitors, Warner Bros. Discovery-owned HBO Family will also cease operations on August 15th.

Moving to the Great White North of Canada, Disney Junior Canada, Disney XD Canada, Nickelodeon Canada, ABC Spark and Disney La Chaine will be shut down on September 1st at the end of summer vacation. The reason for these networks going away is due to licensing issues with Corus Entertainment struggling to keep their contracts with Disney and Paramount running smoothly.. Additionally, Amazon.com SVOD Freevee will be axed in August and September 2025.

Don't worry, there are still a lot of cable networks available in this ever modern changing world of streaming television and network execs being lazy by cutting their seasons in halves instead of making a 26-episode season like they're supposed to. Disney Channel Canada, Cartoon Network Canada, Boomerang Canada, Nickelodeon USA, Nick Jr, Treehouse TV and YTV are not affected.

Sesame Street Finds New Home At Netflix As WBD Deal Nears Expiration Date

The long-running PBS Kids powerhouse Sesame Street has finally found themselves a new home with the over 250+-time Emmy winner set to make its broadcasting move to the classic SVOD video streaming website Netflix for its upcoming 56th season. The news comes in as Warner Bros. Discovery (Cartoonito/HBO Max) is about to end its 10-year contract with the PBS powerhouse following the end of its current Season 55 which ends on 9/11 2025.

Sesame Street is due to make its debut on Netflix in November 2025 with the launch of its upcoming 56th season (35 episodes) which will include a more fresher format shakeup for the iconic franchise for a whole new generation of viewers. This season marks the death of the show's magazine format after 56 years on the air. But don't worry, the new episodes will still contain your favorite miniseries including Elmo's World 2017 and Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck.

But wait, there's more! Netflix has also acquired broadcasting rights to over 100 hours of classic Sesame Street episodes from its nearly 5,000 episode catalog of all 55 seasons of the show made so far, including the 200 episodes that were illegally removed from HBO Max's own streaming service back in August 2022 when the first streaming service purges took affect. Netflix is also due to make console videogames and CD-ROM software for both the main show and its hilariously bad Roblox bootleg spinoff series Sesame Street: Mecha Builders which also ends in September 2025.

The show is still owned by PBS though and like the previous Warner Bros. Discovery contract from 2016 will air the episodes on linear television after a nine-month release window gap. The new episodes premiere on Netflix around November 2025 while the two recent seasons of the show, Season 55 (2025) and Season 56 (2025-2026) will premiere on PBS Kids and local PBS stations on cable platforms beginning around September 2025 and June 2026 respectively.
