Launched on March 4, 2001 as part of the American children's cable network Nickelodeon,[1] the block initially aired on Sunday nights from 6-9 p.m. ET/PT before expanding to Saturday nights from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT in 2005 (replacing the SNICK block that had been broadcast on the channel since 1992). It was originally hosted by Nick Cannon, and then later hosted by Jason Everhart (aka "J Boogie").
On February 1, 2009, the TEENick block, along with the N, and Noggin, were silently discontinued in preparation for the launch of the TeenNick and Nick Jr. channels on September 28 of that year. When the TeenNick channel was first announced in early 2009, its name was spelled "TEENick" like its predecessor.[2] The TEENick block's original host, Nick Cannon, became the TeenNick channel's chairman.
