Nickelodeon Canada to Shutter on September 1
Corus Entertainment has announced that Nickelodeon Canada will be closing down on Monday, September 1, 2025. The channel is owned and operated by YTV Canada Inc., a subsidy of Corus, under license from Paramount Global.
Nickelodeon will be one of several kids channels that Corus will be closing on Sept. 1, with the Canadian versions of Disney XD, Disney Jr., La Chaine Disney (Disney French), and ABC Spark also scheduled to shutter on that day. Corus has told distributors that the channel closures are due to financial pressures, reports Cartt.ca,
It's currently unknown whether Nickelodeon's sister channels, YTV and Treehouse TV, and Corus streaming service STACKTV, will continue to carry Nickelodeon programming.
Launched on November 2, 2009, Nickelodeon Canada primarily airs a mix of both contemporary and older original programming seen on its U.S. counterpart, with most of Nickelodeon's current programming airing on YTV and Treehouse TV. The channel also features a commercial-free (ad-supported on the weekends), Nick Jr.-branded block of preschool programming during the daytime hours. In order to fulfil Canadian content guidelines, Nickelodeon also airs programming sourced from other Corus-owned networks.
