History
On 31 October 2022, Paramount Networks UK & Australia acquired the remaining stake in Nickelodeon UK Ltd. including its Nickelodeon-branded channels from its partner Sky, bringing the British Nickelodeon channel under Paramount Networks UK & Australia's control as Sky was planning to launch its in-house children's channel Sky Kids as owning Nickelodeon UK would have restricted Sky from launching it.[2]
On 22 June 2023, Paramount Networks UK & Australia announced its rebranding of its Australian free-to-air television channel 10 Shake under the Nickelodeon brand as the unit had brought the Nickelodeon name in-house and added Nickelodeon content on free-to-air linear television for the first time with them ending its long-standing partnership with Foxtel
