Aura Afternoons

Nick on CW (referred to as Nickelodeon on The CW) was a weekday afternoon progrramming block on The CW that ran from September 18th, 2006 to July 1st, 2013.

History/Closure

Nick on CW made it's debut on September 18th, 2006. It featured Hey Arnold!, SpongeBob SquarePants, Doug, CatDog, among many other Nicktoons.

Nickelodeon annouced in 2008 that Rocket Power will be added to the block. Then, in 2009, Nickelodeon proposed a petition to add NickJr. programs to the block. This never happened. In 2010, Nickelodeon annouced that it is no longer mandatory to show Nickelodeon on The CW on local CW affiliates. This left 1 milliion houseeholds without Nickelodeon programs. In 2011, 45 other CW affiliates dropped Nick on CW for good. In 2012, most CW affiliates dropped Nick on CW from their lineups, and very few chose to air Nick on CW on weekend afternoons. In 2013, Nickelodeon annouced that due to the lack of CW affiliates that air Nick on CW, that it's final broadcast week will be in July. Nick on CW was replaced by normal syndicated programming after that week.
