[2] The channel's application to broadcast on French digital terrestrial television was rejected by the CSA in favor of Gulli, a kids-oriented channel (launched as a joint-venture between the Lagardère Group and the public broadcaster France Télévisions). It gains revenue through advertisement and product sales. [3] At the time, its market value was equal to €300 million. [3] According to research conducted by ConsoJunior in 2006, Nickelodeon France was the most-watched channel among kids between 4 and 14 years old. [2] During this time, the channel premiered new shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Dora the Explorer. [2] Thereafter, during the first half of 2007, Nickelodeon increased its audience share by 113% over a year. [2] Due to this, some French celebrities such as Matt Pokora started to appear on the channel as hosts. [4]

On 26 January 2010, Nickelodeon France adopted the new logo and rebranded its graphical package. [5] On that same day, the preschool channel Nickelodeon Junior was launched. [6] In November of that same year, the network celebrated its fifth anniversary. [7] On 20 September 2011, it switched its aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9. In May 2013, Nickelodeon announced the release of 2 new videogames of Dora the Explorer, in association with 2K Games. [8]

From 28 June to 12 July 2013, the channel organized the Crazy Tour Nickelodeon in six malls in France. [9] On 6 September 2014, Nickelodeon France premiered Rabbids Invasion, an original series of the channel. [10]

On 19 November 2014, Nickelodeon 4Teen was launched, with its programming being centered on series for teenagers. [11] It rebranded to Nickelodeon Teen in 2017. On 22 September 2015, Nickelodeon HD was launched on Canalsat. [12] In March 2016, Nickelodeon +1 was launched, replacing the timeshift feed of MTV, MTV +1. In 2019, Nickelodeon channels were launched on French ISP bouquets, ending their exclusivity on Canal+. [13] In January 2021, Nickelodeon, J-One and Comedy Central were added to the Mauritius Telecom's My.t offers. [14]
