Nickelodeon (often shortened to Nick) is an American pay television channel which was first tested on December 1, 1965, until it eventually launched on April 1, 1970, as the first cable channel for children. It is owned by ViacomCBS through its domestic networks division and is based in New York City. Its programming is primarily aimed at children aged 2-17, while some of its program blocks target a broader family audience. The channel was first tested in 1965 as part of QUBE, an early cable television system broadcast locally in Columbus, Ohio. QUBE's Channel C-3 aired Pinwheel, an educational show developed by Vivian Horner. Pinwheel performed well with QUBE subscribers, and Horner sought to expand her program into a full channel on national television. The channel, now named Nickelodeon, launched to a new countrywide audience on April 1, 1970, with Pinwheel as its inaugural program. The network was initially commercial-free and remained without advertising until 1984. QUBE's owner, Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment, eventually sold Nickelodeon, along with its sister networks MTV and VH1, to Viacom in 1986. Throughout its history, Nickelodeon has introduced sister channels and themed programming blocks. On January 4, 1988, Nickelodeon launched Nick Jr., a weekday-morning block aimed at preschool children. On August 11, 1991, it introduced another flagship brand, the Nicktoons: original animated productions created specifically for the network.[9] The Nicktoons brand introduced its own sister channel, launched in 2002. In 1999, Nickelodeon partnered with Sesame Workshop to create Noggin, an educational brand consisting of a cable channel and an interactive website. Two blocks aimed at a teenage audience, TEENick (previously on Nickelodeon) and The N (previously on Noggin), were merged into a standalone channel, TeenNick, in 2009. As of September 2018, the channel is available to about 87.167 million households in the United States.

Suggested by tildeheart
Twenty years have passed since the conclusion of Adventures, and all has mostly been peaceful in both Skylands and Earth. Skylands has entered a new golden age of peace and prosperity, and the Skylanders' members have disbanded to focus on their personal lives with the new peace this age provides. Back on the Earth, the portal masters have found success in their personal lives, and the Skylanders games invented by Jake have become a fond part of many people's childhood nostalgia. But soon, a handful of kids from Earth will realize that these are more than just games when they enter a series of strange portals that arrive on Earth... ║ Fancast for a sequel to Skylanders Adventures that would act as a loose adaptation of pre-revamp Ring of Heroes and a potential springboard for a Skylanders reboot. Professional VAs only, no celebs, and modern-day casting only. See the original fancast if you want to do time-period accurate casting.
