Nickelodeon (Pakistani TV channel)
Pakistani feed of Nickelodeon
Nickelodeon Pakistan or Nick Pakistan, was a Pakistani pay television channel. It was the Pakistani feed of Nickelodeon, which is operated by domestic media company ARY Group's Digital Network subsidiary under a brand licensing and programming agreement with Paramount Networks EMEAA. The network transmitted over the AsiaSat 7 satellite to cable and satellite viewers in Pakistan and features some portions of the schedule dubbed or subtitled in Urdu, along with some content directly imported from its Indian sister network (owned by Viacom 18). It also occasionally licenses Western market children's films.
The channel was available as a free to air channel until it became encrypted on satellite in 2015. Unlike its Indian counterpart, which it replaced, this feed regularly airs Nickelodeon-related content, as the Indian feed has recently been airing local content more often due to the localization strategy.
History
On 23 November 2006, ARY Digital Network launched Nickelodeon Pakistan, with a brand licensing agreement with Viacom. Prior to the launch of the localized Pakistani feed of Nickelodeon, the Indian feed was provided in Pakistan. It mainly broadcast content in English, along with some programming aired in Hindi rather than being dubbed in Urdu. This caused PEMRA to temporarily suspend Nickelodeon's license in 2016, although the channel later resumed broadcasting.
In 2010, Nickelodeon Pakistan was rebranded to match with the network's worldwide imaging at the time, including its logo.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as pakistani feed of Nickelodeon. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7026678. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2006, 2016 and 2010.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
