Nick Jr. is a TV channel in Australia made just for young kids, like preschoolers. It broadcasts shows 24 hours a day.
Before it became its own channel, Nick Jr. was a special part of the Nickelodeon TV schedule. It was a "block" of shows that aired only in the mornings. This changed in 2004. That's when Foxtel launched Nick Jr. as a full channel that plays shows all day and night.
The channel is managed by Foxtel Networks. They run it under a special agreement with ViacomCBS. You can watch Nick Jr. not only on Foxtel but also on other TV services like Optus Television and FetchTV.
