Nickelodeon is personalized for kids to express themselves through Nick at Nite and Nick Jr..
Nickelodeon (commonly referred to as Nick) is an American cable television network owned by Viacom International, founded in 1979 as Pinwheel. The Pinwheel name was used until 1981. The channel is found in many different countries, including Nick UK and Australia. Nick is also split up into several blocks, such as Nick at Nite and Nick Jr..The channel focuses on kids from ages 7 through 12.
Nick at Nite is meant for older kids who have outgrown the channel and Nick Jr. focuses on kids ages 2 through 6. Every morning, Nick Jr. goes through the hours of 9am to 2pm (Summer hours may vary). Every night on Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite goes through the hours of 9pm to 6am Mon-Thu and on Sunday (can also start at 9:30PM on Sunday if Nick News is aired), and 10pm to 6am on Friday and Saturday.
This Magazine is a children's magazine published by the Nickelodeon cable TV channel. It was first published in 1990 at a cover price of $1.95 and was distributed for free at participating Pizza Hut restaurants, but production ceased after the second issue.
The magazine returned to production in Summer 1993. Originally published on a quarterly basis, it switched to bi-monthly with its February/March 1994 issue. It then went to 10 times per year starting March 1995 and as of July 2007, The Magazine has had 133 issues. It is still published monthly except for the June/July and December/January (formerly January/February) issues.
In spite of being related to the network it is named after, Nickelodeon Magazine covers all sorts of topics for kids, whether inside the network or outside. It contains informative non-fiction pieces, humor, interviews, comics, pranks, and recipes (such as green slime cake).
The magazine's mascot is Zelda Van Gutters, a Lakeland Terrier dog who appears throughout the magazine making smart alecky comments. On the table of contents, Zelda introduces herself as the magazine's "roving reporter". She is also the star of the magazine's regular photo comic strip "Ruffing It".
In May 2006, the magazine got a makeover in the form of a brand new logo, but the insides such as the comic book stayed the same.
