Nickelodeon Arabia

Nickelodeon Arabia was a satellite, free-to-air channel for Arab children, teens and adults. It was the Arab arm of Nickelodeon and the last remaining arm to retain the 'splat' logo that was used elsewhere in the world from 1984 to 2009.

It was the second channel in the joint venture between MTV Networks International and Arabian Television Network, part of Arab Media Group, the largest media group in the United Arab Emirates, after the successful launch for MTV Arabia (now known as MTV Middle East).

As of 2011, it was the only Nickelodeon channel not to change its logo after the parent company's 2009 rebrand. Since late 2010, the channel had been suffering a frozen broadcast, broadcasting its usual programmes repetitively without any evidence of upcoming updates. Its official website went down, and there were no clear indications or citations for why the channel was heavily neglected. Regardless, the channel remained live for many months in 2011.

On 8 September 2011, at one minute past midnight in U.A.E. time, and without a mainstream warning the channel went on an indefinite hiatus without any explanation. The broadcast signal initially displayed nothing but a static message indicating Nickelodeon Arabia's viewers to continue watching Nickelodeon programmes via the Nickelodeon block on MBC 3. The signal then reverted to a casual test card a few days later, and the channel was de-listed by various satellite television providers. A few months later, the signal itself disappeared completely.
