Nick Toons, formerly Nick Toons TV, is a British digital television channel launched on 22 July 2002. It is a cartoon-based sister channel to Nickelodeon. The channel airs cartoons, these are commonly known as Nicktoons. Unlike the United States version, it has been ad-supported since it launched and also it does not broadcast 24/7. When the channel dropped all of the old Nicktoons programmes, some of them were moved to Nicktoonsters when it launched on 18 August 2008. A Text Font From The 2014 Branding Was Used For The Tots Break Logo At Parkdean Holidays.
On June 17, 2009, it was announced that a one hour timeshift of Nicktoons, called Nicktoons Replay would launch on 20 July 2009. The name and format will be similar to the one hour timeshift of Nickelodeon, called Nick Replay that launched on 1 September 1999. [1]

Toonz2Nite
In 2004, when Nicktoons TV extended their hours, the 19:00 - 22:00 slot was called 'Toonz2Nite' (extended further to 11PM in November 2005). This had a separate, distinct presentation from the main channel, and the programmes shown were generally aimed at older viewers. The launch line-up consisted of The Fairly OddParents, The Angry Beavers, Invader Zim, Ren & Stimpy, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and Rocko's Modern Life. At various times, Yakkity Yak, Rocket Power, Hey Arnold!, SpongeBob SquarePants, As Told by Ginger, and Danny Phantom were also shown in this slot. The Toonz2Nite branding was dropped in early 2006.
