The N

Common card · No. 235212

The N (standing for Noggin) was an overnight programming block on the Noggin television channel, aimed at preteens (tweens) and teenagers by ages 8-18. It was launched on April 1, 2002, by MTV Networks (now Paramount Media Networks) and Sesame Workshop. Before the block's introduction, Noggin's daytime lineup included tween-aimed shows such as A Walk in Your Shoes, Sponk! and Big Kids. In 2002, Noggin restructured its daytime lineup to cater to preschool children. From then onward, the shows targeted to older children only aired during the night as part of The N. The N focused on shows that promoted personal development, and the block was described as "an educational twin" of Nickelodeon's teen blocks. The N's original shows were created with educational goals, which was uncommon for teen programming at the time. The block was managed by the same team that made Noggin's preschool shows; the team considered it a challenge to focus on both preschoolers and an older audience at the same time...
