Nick is a popular German TV channel that shows programs for kids and teens. It's part of the big international Nickelodeon family.
The channel first started on 5 July 1995. It closed down for a while in 1998 but then came back on 12 September 2005. Nick's main office is in Berlin, Germany.
You can watch Nick in a few ways. It's available through paid TV services. It's also a "free-to-air" channel, which means you can watch it for free with a satellite dish.
On 31 March 2010, the channel changed its name back to Nickelodeon. It also got a new logo and look, just like other Nickelodeon channels around the world. Since then, you can often choose to watch shows in English too, not just German.
Unlike some other Nickelodeon channels, Nick in Germany shows shorter credits at the end of its programs. These short credits usually just tell you the show's name, when it was made, and which company produced it.
