The Dutch version of Nickelodeon, seen in the Netherlands and the Flanders region of Belgium, launched on September 1, 2002. In addition to the general Nickelodeon fare found worldwide, local productions such as ZOOP, Het Huis Anubis, Het Huis Anubis en de Vijf van het Magische Zwaard and SuperNick are also broadcast. The Dutch Kids' Choice Awards were also presented in 2004, 2005 and 2007, featuring nominees that are relevant to Dutch audiences. In 2010 the American Kids' Choice Awards aired, which included categories for the Netherlands and Flanders inserted into the broadcast.
Nick replaced a similar-themed channel, Kindernet after the channel was acquired by Viacom in 2002.
Nickelodeon as screened in Flanders carry generally the same schedule, but with advertising and programming variations for Belgian viewers. All Belgian cable providers carry the Flemish version, with the satellite providers (TV Vlaanderen Digitaal and Mobistar) offering only the Dutch version, as it is the only version carried on the Astra 1L satellite.
The Flemish variation of Nickelodeon is broadcast 24 hours a day. Prior to 4 October 2011, TV Vlaanderen carried the channel 24 hours a day, while other providers offered Nickelodeon from 5am to 8pm.
A High-Definition simulcast began broadcasting 3 April 2012.
