Oh My God, They Killed Moose! - Paramount and Nickelodeon Announce Death of Noggin SVOD App

 This past Valentines Day, Paramount Global has illegally fired and laid off 800 of their own staff, which spoils some very unfortunate news for Nickelodeon's Kidscreen and Webby-award winning Noggin app and Smart TV channel, which has been home to some of Nick Jr.'s biggest hits from over the last 35 years.

Nickelodeon and Paramount today have announced the tragic news today that its award-winning streaming app revival of its defunct Noggin TV channel will be shutting down after at least April 7, 2025, following the illegal layoff of their own staff, Big Boss and General Manager Kristen Kane, SVP of Learning and Impact Michael Levine, Creative Director Lasette Canody, Music & Sound Design Producer Christopher Cerf, teacher Emmanuel Carter, hosts Stephanie Wong, Christopher Jackson, Trinidad Richardson, Keith Alexander, Shana Sharp, Daryl McDaniels, Erin Joy McDwowell, Dan Kohler and Shana Sharp, and Board of Advisors Tammy Clegg and Jenny Radetszky.

The news comes as earlier this year, Nickelodeon has shuttered it s Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. apps and Paramount has killed their MTV, Comedy Central and Paramount Network streaming app counterparts.

CUrrently, Paramount+ does not have the following Noggin titles available yet on their platform: Alphabeats, Balloon Builders, Big Hearts Belong, Dance Squad, JoJo & Gran Gran, Kinderwood, Moose & Zee, Noggin Knows, Numberblocks, Pop Up Problem Solvers, School of YUM, Troop Dragonfly, What's The Word? and Wild Words.

When Paramount+ was launched in March 2021, Noggin was kept separate from the other closed Nickelodeon streaming services (NickHits, NickSplat on VRV, etc.) because of the app's availability to games, play-along episodes/videos, art and music lab activities and eBooks, including the recently launched Nogginville MMO that Paramount+ doesn't offer. It's currently unknown whether or not the Noggin interactive content including games and play-along episodes, ebooks, art and music labs and other content will be intergrated into Paramount+ anytime sooner or later once when the Noggin app and website shuts down forever.

Currently, no date has been put for the closure of the Nogin app yet and the full list of games, play-along videos, episodes and eBooks will be posted toi this blog around the time when the app fully shuts down forever after almost ten years on the app stores.

THank you Noggin SVOD for everything you've done and rest in peace.

RIP Noggin SVOD
