The N
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The N is a television channel in the United States aimed at teenagers, running from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. EST. The channel is owned by Viacom and was launched on April 1, 2002. During the day, the channel is known as Noggin, which is targeted toward pre-schoolers. The channel was founded as Noggin by Viacom and Sesame Workshop, with the latter eventually selling their stake in the company to Viacom.
Initially, The N ran completely commercial free, like most of Viacom's other digital cable channels. The channel broke programs only to run self-promotion spots for the channel and other shows on it, and occasionally to run music videos. In May 2004, The N began running commercials for products targeted at the channel's market.
The N is known to edit its programming. Many music videos shown on the N are edited as well. Even Viacom-controlled programming such as Daria has been further edited in The N reruns, compared to the original MTV airing. Two Season 3 episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation did not air due to the subject of abortion. Finally, in August 2006, they premiered on the N as a one-hour special during a marathon.
