History Creator / Noggin

In 2002, Noggin split its lineup into two age groups: a daytime block and a {{watershed}} nighttime block. The daytime block was aimed at younger children. The nighttime block, called The N (standing for "The Noggin"), aired tween and teen shows. A few older-skewing shows that had previously aired on the daytime block shifted their timeslots to air during The N.

In its first few years, Noggin's original productions were aimed at pre-teens and encouraged online AudienceParticipation. Viewers could submit content through Noggin.com and see it aired live on the channel. Noggin's first flagship series, ''WesternAnimation/PhredOnYourHeadShow'', featured an animated host who responded to users on Noggin.com.

Noggin is an entertainment brand that started out as a collaboration between {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} and Creator/SesameWorkshop. Currently a mobile streaming service, it originally launched in 1999 as both a cable TV channel and an interactive website. The name "Noggin" comes from a slang word for the head, reflecting the brand's goal: to help children learn.

In 2002, Noggin split its lineup into two age groups. Teen-oriented shows were moved to a new {{watershed}} block called Creator/TheN, while Noggin itself became a preschool brand. Daytime shows were introduced by on-air hosts, most notably the animated characters [[WesternAnimation/MooseAndZee Moose and Zee]].

The most iconic element of Noggin is its character logo: a smiling face with one visible eye. To show what Noggin is "thinking" of, the top of the head is replaced with symbols reflecting a certain theme. For example, during the spring, flowers pop out of it.

In its first few years, Noggin's cable lineup had two components: educational shows made specially for the brand, and reruns from Sesame and Nick's existing libraries. The original productions were aimed at tweens and usually had interactive components, letting viewers submit content through Noggin.com and see it live on the channel. In 2002, Noggin split its lineup into two groups. Teen/tween shows were moved to a new block called The N, while Noggin became a preschool brand.

Noggin featured a few different hosts throughout its run. When it first became a preschool brand, it was hosted by a blue character colloquially known as "Feetface." From 2003 onwards, it [[WesternAnimation/MooseAndZee featured the animated characters]] of Moose A. Moose (a moose voiced by Paul Christie, who also voiced Stick Stickly on Nick in the Afternoon) and Zee (a mostly silent blue bird).

The original Noggin channel closed on September 28, 2009, when it was replaced by Creator/NickJr. In 2015, Noggin.com was revived and the brand was relaunched as a mobile streaming service for preschoolers.
