I got NEWS! D:
Nickelodeon in Canada will be bringing shows such as Fanboy and Chum Chum and The Troop to Canada for the first time, beginning Nov. 2.
Corus Entertainment, which already owns YTV and Treehouse in Canada, plans to launch the new children's channel with a series of crossover shows shared with its other specialty channels.
Corus has struck a deal with MTV Networks, a unit of Viacom, for exclusive access to animated and live action Nickelodeon programs, which are aired in more than 300 million homes across Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. MTV Networks has a significant stake in Corus.
Fanboy and Chum Chum, an animated series about two boys who combine their love for comic books and their imaginations to get into bizarre adventures and The Troop, a live action series about kids who protect the world from supernatural villains, are among the shows that will air here for the first time.
The Kids' Choice Awards will also broadcast in Canada via Nickelodeon.
The Canadian programs on the station include several that run on other Corus properties including:
- Grossology: an animated series about a brother-sister crime fighting team created for YTV. [*]Max & Ruby: a pre-school series about a rabbit brother and sister that airs on Treehouse. [*]My Friend Rabbit: an animated series about a mouse and a rabbit who are friends from Treehouse. [*]Storm Hawks: an animated series that airs on Cartoon Network and YTV. [/list:u:62502489f4]
The schedule will give viewers more access to SpongeBob SquarePants, iCarly, Dora The Explorer and The Backyardigans and bring back series such as The Mighty B!, Danny Phantom and Avatar: The Last Airbender, Corus announced Monday.
So if I get this straight. Now only will you get Sponge Bob Squarepants, iCarly and Fairy Odd Parents airing 2 - 5 times a day, but you'll get those and many other overplayed Nick shows on another useless channel coming to Canadian airwaves 15 years too late.
Hey man, don't knock Spongebob, he's the best damn thing on Nickelodeon
Hey man, don't knock Spongebob, he's the best damn thing on Nickelodeon
That's where the problem lies.....

Hey know, the Futureeeee of all this could prove to be exhilarating for our fellow Canadians. But still this:

Nickelodeon used to be an epic channel. They had Count Duckula and Danger Mouse(only channel I know of that ran them in the US)! Damn it, I miss those shows... and Inspector Gadget.

I remember Count Duckula and Inspector Gadget. EPIC cartoons! 
Huh. Look at that.

This should have been more of a cultural exchange. They get Nick, and we get... um... YTV... or something.

To be fair Psx it's pretty much saying "They get Nick, and we get... um... Nick Lite!"
Teletoon, then? I forget... which one continues to air repeats of ReBoot to this day? 'Cause I could go for some of that action.
