History

[edit]

On 2 August 2007, Nick Hits was launched in the Netherlands and Belgium, at that time, the channel had promos in Dutch.[4][5]

On 1 February 2017, the channel was rebranded; Nick Hits became NickMusic.[6]

On 1 July 2020, NickMusic was delocalized, promo and advertising were removed. At the same time, NickMusic became available Australia, replacing channel [V]. On 6 July 2020 Nick Music became available in New Zealand.[7]

On 1 June 2021, NickMusic replaced MTV Music 24 in Europe.[8][9] Later, the channel expanded to Africa and the Middle East. The channel has a Czech license (RRTV) in order to ensure the continuation of legal broadcasting in the EU in accordance with the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) and the Single Market Law after the UK leaves the European Union. Since the Czech Republic has minimum broadcasting rules, it was chosen for licensing purposes in the EU.[1][2] The editorial office of the channel is still located in London. On 2 July 2025, Paramount Global announced that the channel will close on New Year’s Eve 2025.[10]
