Since 1 December 2010 the Australian and New Zealand versions of the subscription channel have been the same. The New Zealand-specific version of Nickelodeon ceased broadcasting the day before.
The channel ceased broadcasting on Foxtel on 1 August 2023 as a result of free-to-air channel 10 Shake rebranding as "Nickelodeon" (while retaining the same schedule) and was replaced by Nickelodeon Global. The existing pay television channel continues to broadcast through Fetch in Australia, and on Sky in New Zealand. The Fetch feed was renamed "Nick", to differentiate it from the free-to-air channel.[2]
