On this day 11 YEARS AGO, the Nick Jr USA channel was first launched onto the screens. The channel kept its Moose & Zee characters and Melinda Beck animation design for the channel's first three years. Since March 2012, all of Nick Jr's programs have been just out of vision commercial break announcers with no invision hosts showing up in sight.
Some of the highlights of the channel's run include broadcasting its first (and so far only) Mega Music Fest children's concert, The Fresh Beat Band Concert special in 2013, the network television premiere of Yo Gabba Gabba Live in 2011 and being the USA broadcaster of Thomas & Friends from 2017 to 2019.
The most terrible thing that has happened to the channel is once again airing programs for adults for no reason on an unsuccessful programming block called NickMom. Thankfully that adult block trash (my opinion) is gone from the channel after 2015 and Nick Jr is now 24 hours a day and 7 days a week again, which has continued to this day.
Happy 11th Anniversary Nick Jr Channel USA!
