Nick at Nite international versions facts for kids
.svg)
Nick at Nite is a special TV block that shows programs for older audiences, usually after kids' shows are over. In the United States, it mainly plays reruns of old TV comedies that used to be on during prime time.
However, many Nickelodeon channels in other countries don't have their own Nick at Nite. Instead, they either show kids' programs all day and night, or they have a different type of nighttime block. Sometimes, these international channels show reruns of older Nickelodeon shows instead of classic sitcoms.
