Nick at Nite (now stylized as nick@nite) is a timeshare channel programming block on Nickelodeon, currently airing from primetime to early morning. The block was born in 1985, the year after Alpha Repertory Television Service (ARTS), which had been running programming during the primetime hours on Nickelodeon (since the audience for children's programming at that time was small), merged with The Entertainment Channel to become a fulltime channel called A&E. The block was originally a "oldies channel" showcasing classic television sitcoms from the 1950s through 1970s, such as I Love Lucy, I Dream of Jeannie and SCTV. The block spun off the oldies TV network TV Land. In 2004, Nick At Nite became its own "channel" for Nielsen ratings purposes.
Old, not as extreme logo.
In the current century, Nick At Nite started showing more movies, original programming, and recent sitcoms such as The George Lopez Show, Malcolm in the Middle, The George Lopez Show, Everybody Hates Chris, The George Lopez Show, and The George Lopez Show. In 2009, the channel's name was changed to nick@nite as part of a network-wide rebranding.
As of 2025, it's now the home of endless reruns of The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, The Neighborhood, and Friends, with occasional family-friendly movies mixed in.
