Nick Jr. is a cable television channel in Latin America owned by Paramount Skydance Corporation subsidiary Paramount Networks Americas based on the U.S. counterpart. The channel is aimed at a preschool audience.

Contents

Currently, the Nick Jr. channel features the same programming as the Nick Jr. block on Nickelodeon, as well as some shows previously seen on the block, such as Team Umizoomi and Bubble Guppies .

History

The block was first introduced in the fall 1990s and early 2000s as a programming block airing on Nickelodeon’s Latin American channel, on July 1, 2008, Nick Jr. was launched as a channel in the region.

On September 19, 2023, Nick Jr. delocalised and started to use some assets from EMEAA. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] This change also replaced end credits with short credits, indicating the show's name, production company and year, similar to the Nickelodeon channels in EMEAA. However, it is still retaining some localization, such as advertisements, localised text on selected trailers, and opt-outs for local programming, such as Os Chocolix in Brazil. [7]

According to a recent article posted by NaTelinha on October 7, 2025, Paramount announced that Nick Jr. will close in Brazil along with all its sister channels on December 31, 2025, due to high operational costs in the respective country, the dwindling pay TV ratings in Brazil and the Brazilian pay TV crisis, having the same reasons why its rival network Disney Junior Brazil and its sister channels closed in the respective country.
