CurrentlyHowever, there ishas been a [[Network Decay|shift in programming]] from dramatic series with older teens to more light-hearted shows showcasing younger kids. The network is primarily known for being the American distributor of ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]'', as well as for off-network Nickelodeon live-action repeats, though they have recently been beefing up their original programming. It aired several Canadian shows like the afformentioned Degrassi, [[Instant Star]], and [[The Best Years]]
 
The network is also known for its "NickRewind" block (originally called '[[The 90s Are All That]]'), which showed reruns of [[Nostalgia Filter|Nickelodeon's 90s output.]] Oh, and on a thankful note, this block instantly became [[Cash Cow Franchise|a huge ratings success,]] [http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/07/nicks_new_90s_nostalgia_block.html multiplying the ratings for its time slot by 850%.] This block continued from 2011 until early 2022, when it was dropped after a few renaming attempts (first it was The '90s Are All That, then The Splat, then NickSplat, and finally NickRewind).

[[All That|Nick Cannon]] is the honorary chairman of the TeenNick channel and apparently has some authority over programming, as he conceived and hosted the first annual TeenNick HALO Awards, an awards show awarding teens making a difference. Cannon was ''also'' the first host of the original TEENick block way back when it first aired in 2001.

Despite the focus on teenagers, TeenNick used to be notorious for its zealous [[Media Watchdogs]]. The most infamous example of censorship was when they [[Missing Episode|complete excised two episodes]] of ''Degrassi'' revolving around [[Good Girls Avoid Abortion|a character getting an abortion]], only showing them years later. Reruns of ''[[Daria]]'' also suffered from [[Edited for Syndication|syndication cuts]], as did an entire season of ''[[South of Nowhere]]'' due to [[But Not Too Gay|its lesbian content and romantic scenes.]] This censorship has softened in recent years, as ''Degrassi'' has been shown without any editing. [[All That|Nick Cannon]] is the honorary chairman of TeenNick and apparently has some authority over programming, as he conceived and hosted the first annual TeenNick HALO Awards, an awards show awarding teens making a difference. The channel has recently launched a new block on July 25th called '[[The 90s Are All That]]', showing [[Nostalgia Filter|Nickelodeon's 90s output.]] Oh, and on a thankful note, this block instantly became [[Cash Cow Franchise|a huge ratings success,]] [http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/07/nicks_new_90s_nostalgia_block.html multiplying the ratings for it's time slot by 850%.]
 
The [[Tee Nick|TEENick]] programming block was born in 20002001 and aired Sunday nights from 6pm to 9pm EST. It later became the [[Spiritual Successor]] of the [[Snick]] block when [[Tee Nick]]TEENick Saturday Night took over SNICK's timeslot in 2004. [[There Is No Such Thing Asas Notability|It wasn't very notable]] or different than SNICK, except the programming was a bit more girl-orientated with occasional promos with fashion tips and such ([[Tee Nick]]TEENick Saturday Night was more boy-orientated). The block was hosted by J Boogie and lasted until 2009, when Nickelodeon phased out allthe theirname programmingto blocksavoid andconfusion later usedwith the nameupcoming toTeenNick re-brandchannel The-N,(which albeitwas withoriginally aannounced differentas spellingthe 'TEENick channel').
Also, it's "[[Teen Nick]]," [[Spell My Name With an "S"|not "Teenick,"]] though that's a common mistake.
 
When it launched as a channel in 2009, TeenNick took over the channel space held by The N ([[Noggin]]'s teen brand, standing for '''N'''oggin), which had recently moved from Noggin to its own channel on December 31, 2007. The N's original shows were phased out of the TeenNick channel's lineup fairly quickly, leaving only Nickelodeon reruns.
