That would be awesome!

I can't see Nick creating an entirely new channel just for classic shows, especially since they are already struggling. My guess is TeenNick will be rebranded to "The Splat." They already have "The 90's Are All That" block and air reruns of newer Nick shows.

Here's the entire article, the ads on that site are a nightmare.

Rumors that Nickelodeon will break out all the old favorite Nicktoons and series from the 1990s for a new TV network to be called The Splat appear to be true.

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Viacom, the parent company of Nickelodeon, quietly debuted a website and social media campaign teasing “The Splat is Coming” on Friday. However, few other about the new network or when it will launch were provided.

The new website features links to its social media sites along with the hashtag #thesplateiscoming and “follow us to be the first to find out.”

The announcement came in conjunction with the 90s Fest in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday.

Posts on the new network’s social media sites as well as on the verified Nickelodeon Twitter account do not indicate which retro cartoons and series will be featured, but they could very well include favorites like Aaah!!! Real Monsters, Are you Afraid of the Dark?, Rocko’s Modern Life, Doug, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Hey Arnold!, Clarissa Explains it All, and All That, among others.

A verified Twitter account for The Splat started promoting the network as well.

I didnt watch any of those shows. I will say how can The Splat come about when they cant even get Nickelodeon and TVLand right?

That's really cool...I think I've mentioned this here before, but I wish Viacom would create a streaming app for its classic shows, not just Nick.

I've heard that The Splat is coming in October in Nickelodeon. Unconfirmed, but my guess is it may probably be replacing Nick@Nite.

robyrob · 09-16-2015, 08:29 AM

this is just a programming block on an existing channel isn't it?

There's conflicting information. Some sources are calling it a channel while others are calling it a block. A block seems to make more sense as entire channel probably wouldn't be profitable.

The article does say Nickelodeon launches a new network, not a new block. Nickelodeon's already full of pre-school cartoons. We need something for the 20-40 age generation that watched these older cartoons in the 90's. Can't wait to see the Ren and Stimpy episodes of the haunted house and the salve episode.

I'm glad reruns of these old Nick show's will be airing again Nickelodeon shows was alot better back then than the teen crap that airs on there today,

It can work perhaps as a subchannel (I.E. Buzzr, AntennaTV, etc.)

But this would explain why they suddenly went out of their way to shut down Nick Reboot, as it was up and running for a good couple of years doing exactly what "The Splat" will do without Viacom bothering them.

Hey everyone I got a update about when the press release will come for this and it will be in coming week or the next coming week and how i do know?? Well i'v been working hard to contact someone from viacom/nickelodeon and i did. I left a email and voicemail yesterday to Dio McCollin and she called me this morning and she didn't much to answer but that and she will email a distribution of it as soon as it comes out!! I also tried to talk to Russel Hicks-President
Content Development and Production at viacom/nickelodeon and i believe hes in charge of this, But anyways i i tried to call him and his assistant answered and said he just got back from vacation and that he's really busy with calls so he left my name and number down and what the call is regarding to so he can give me a call back sometime today or tomorrow and hopefully we will see what he says and his assistant only told me yea he knows about the splat and it has to do with reboots and that's all his assistant was able to tell me.
