History

The block was first introduced in the 1990s and early 2000s as a programming block airing on Nickelodeon's Brazilian channel. On 1 July 2008, Nick Jr. was launched as a channel in the country. Simultaneously, the VOD web service NickTurbo Jr. launched. [1]

On 19 September 2023, the channel was delocalised and started to use some assets from EMEAA, in the same day as his Latin American counterpart. 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. [2]

On 7 October 2025, Paramount announced that it would close all of its channels in Brazil (including Nick Jr.) on 31 December 2025, due to high operational costs in the respective country, declining ratings for pay television in Brazil and the Brazilian pay TV crisis; same reasons which its rival network Disney Junior Brazil and its sister channels closed in the respective country.
