From 1999 until 2009, Noggin was a cable television channel. The channel featured a daytime block for preschoolers and a nighttime block for teenagers called "The N."[3][4] From 2015 to 2024, Noggin was a streaming service featuring both classic Noggin shows and new original ones. In August 2025, Noggin was relaunched as a new streaming app for an older audience of pre-teens.
Noggin was co-owned by MTV Networks and Sesame Workshop when it launched in 1999.[5][6] In August 2002, Sesame Workshop sold its share of Noggin to Viacom. The original Noggin channel closed on September 28, 2009, and the brand was dormant until 2015, when Noggin relaunched as a streaming service.[7][8] Paramount Global owned Noggin until they shut down the service on July 2, 2024, the brand was later sold to Kristen Kane. The relaunched, tween-targeted version of Noggin was launched as a beta on August 26, 2025.
Creation
editNoggin's creation dates back to 1995, when Sesame Workshop (then known as the Children's Television Workshop) planned to start an educational cable channel called "New Kid City."[9] The Los Angeles Times reported that creating its own channel was "the only way to ensure a home for its highly acclaimed shows," since other cable networks had replaced Sesame Workshop's educational shows with commercialized, merchandise-driven shows.[9] Meanwhile, MTV Networks planned its own educational channel called "Big Orange."[10][11] When the two companies learned of each other's ideas, they partnered to create a channel together.[12][13]
The channel was named Noggin (a slang term for a person's head), reflecting its purpose: to encourage children to think, discover new things, and use their imaginations.[14] When it started, Noggin was mostly aimed at a pre-teen audience.[15] Its main goal was to provide "fun shows that help kids learn and inspire their curiosity – all without feeling like they're in school." Noggin's core values included the statements: "Kids want to learn. Kids are naturally curious. There are no stupid questions."[16]
Brand elements
editLogo and branding
editNoggin's first logo was the bottom half of a smiling cartoon face. The logo's upper half featured different icons that represented topics the head was "thinking of" (such as a beaker to reflect science, or flowers to reflect springtime).[16] Hundreds of different "toppers" were designed for the logo. For its first few years, Noggin often captioned its logo with the slogan "What sparks you?" It also aired videos of children and teens responding to the question, explaining their favorite topics that "spark" their imaginations.[17]
Noggin's logo was featured in many original animations that ran between shows on the channel. In its early years, Noggin's creative team hired "sick and twisted" independent animators to create commercials for them, hoping that they could each bring their own personal design elements to the logo. The goal was to make the logo "look unlike any other network" and inspire viewers' creativity.[18] In 2019, the original Noggin face logo was retired and replaced with a lowercase noggin wordmark written in purple.[19] In August 2025, a third logo was introduced: a pink wordmark with "NOGGIN" written in curved letters, resembling the shape of a brain.[2]
Television channel
editThe first service established under Noggin was a cable television channel. It operated from February 2, 1999, until September 28, 2009. Noggin was originally aimed at pre-teens, since Noggin's creative team felt that this age group was "underserved when it comes to new, quality educational television."[20] One of Noggin's goals was to disprove the idea "that educational programming is not entertaining enough to attract pre-teens and young adults."[21] The Noggin channel was commercial-free and allowed teachers to tape its programs for use in their classrooms.[22]
Noggin's original lineup included classic episodes of The Electric Company, 3-2-1 Contact, Cro, Square One Television, and Ghostwriter from Sesame Workshop's library. It also included series like Wild Side Show, Nick News, and Doug from Paramount's library.[23] From 2000 to 2002, Noggin aired reruns of the science show Bill Nye the Science Guy.[24] Bill Nye also starred in brand-new segments made specially for Noggin, where he played the role of Noggin's "head sparkologist" and tried to find out what topics sparked viewers' imaginations.[25]
Noggin's first original program was Phred on Your Head Show, which featured an animated host named Phred.[26] A second original series, A Walk in Your Shoes, premiered in October 1999.[27] Each episode of A Walk in Your Shoes followed two different people "switching lives" to better understand each other's cultures.[28] In 2000, Noggin introduced three series of shorts that aired during program breaks: Me in a Box, which featured children making dioramas to represent their personalities; Citizen Phoebe, about a girl who wants to run for president; and Oobi, a preschool series featuring bare-hand puppets.
By 2001, original content made up 40% of Noggin's schedule. That year, Noggin premiered four new shows: Big Kids, a British-American co-production;[29] On the Team, a documentary about a Little League baseball team;[30] Sponk!, a game show centered around improv acting;[31] and The URL with Phred Show, which showcased viewers' submissions to the Noggin website. On April 1, 2002, the channel was reorganized into two blocks: a daytime block for preschoolers and a nighttime block, The N, for teens.[4] Play with Me Sesame, a new series featuring Sesame Street characters, debuted on the same day.[32]
Sesame Workshop continued to co-produce shows for Noggin until 2009, most notably Out There[33] and The Upside Down Show,[34] two live-action series. Both shows were developed by Sesame Workshop's writers in New York and filmed by a multinational team in Australia.[35] On September 28, 2009, the Noggin channel closed, and its channel space was replaced by a 24-hour channel based on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block; the Noggin brand was placed on a six-year hiatus until 2015.[36]
The N
editThe N (standing for Noggin) was an overnight programming block on the Noggin channel, aimed at older children and teenagers. It aired from April 1, 2002, until December 31, 2007. It took several months for Noggin to choose the right name for the block; as reported by Kidscreen in 2002, they needed a name to "help distance and distinguish the tween programming from the preschool fare", but the legal department also required the block to maintain a relation to Noggin's main name.[37]
Noggin's preexisting tween-targeted shows—like A Walk in Your Shoes and Sponk!—only aired during The N from 2002 onward. Noggin produced several original series for the block, including the animated comedy O'Grady, the drama South of Nowhere, and the competition show Girls v. Boys. The N was also the U.S. broadcast home of the Canadian series Degrassi: The Next Generation.[38] Noggin aimed to promote a variety of life skills through the shows on The N, including self-respect, constructive thinking, and tolerance of diversity.[39]
Like the rest of Noggin, The N's shows were created with educational goals,[40] which was uncommon for teen programming. 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,[41] but because both focused on educational shows with valuable life lessons, they felt Noggin and The N had a "unified brand identity." From 2007 to 2009, the block was moved from Noggin to a new channel, which carried TEENick programming throughout the day and relegated The N's content to a block at night.[42][43] According to Polygon, "Nickelodeon began phasing out The N's programming and replacing it with TEENick, an entertainment block with no educational curriculum and zero involvement from Noggin. The N lost its footing by 2009, and both [The N] and its website closed down completely."[44]
Streaming service (original)
editOn March 5, 2015, Noggin relaunched as a streaming service.[45][46][47] It included older shows from Noggin's time as a cable channel. In 2020, Noggin premiered new shows available exclusively on the service. These included an exercise show called Yoga Friends and a cooking show called School of Yum. Kinderwood, an animated series about five classmates at a magical school, premiered on Noggin in 2020.[48] In 2021, the service introduced a half-hour educational show called Noggin Knows and a series of shorts called The Noggins, which featured new teal-colored mascots called Noggins.
The Noggin streaming service would expand international markets. Spanish and Portuguese versions were released in Latin America in November 2015.[49][50][51] On September 21, 2020, it was announced that the Noggin service would launch in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Austria as an add-on to Amazon Prime Video.[52]
On February 15, 2024, Paramount Global announced that the Noggin service would be shutting down later that year, with the entire staff of Noggin being laid off during the layoffs.[53][54] The service was shut down on July 2, 2024, with all billing stopping by May 30. Some of Noggin's programming was migrated to Paramount+.[55][56]
Streaming service (revival)
editOn August 21, 2025, it was announced that Noggin would relaunch as a new streaming service for an older audience of pre-teens. A Kidscreen article confirmed that Paramount sold Noggin to Kristen Kane, who previously ran Noggin as its CEO from 2019 to 2024. Following the sale, Noggin is now fully independent.[2]
Noggin will feature a virtual game world, "Noggintown," which is an updated version of "Nogginville" from the previous Noggin app. The game replaces the previous preschool-aged player avatars with teenage avatars.
Mascots
editThroughout its history, Noggin has featured unique cartoon characters who acted as the hosts and mascots of the brand. During Noggin's time as a cable channel, these mascots often appeared during program breaks to introduce shows. Noggin has had the following mascots:
- Phred (1999–2002) – A small, yellow-green creature (voiced by Doug Preis) who was Noggin's first mascot.[57] He talked in a New York accent and liked to make jokes. He interacted with live-action guests by hopping on top of their heads and talking to them.[58]
- An unnamed blue mascot (2002–03) – This character (voiced by Jessica DiCicco), shaped like a circular face with legs,[59] hosted Noggin's preschool block from April 2002 to April 2003. The mascot is nicknamed "Feetface" by fans.
- Moose and Zee (2003–09; 2015–2019) – A talking yellow moose (voiced by Paul Christie) and a mute blue bird, who hosted Noggin's preschool block from April 2003 onward. They also hosted the Noggin streaming service from 2015 until 2019.[8]
- The Alpha Teens (2004–05; The N) – The N's mascots. A group of high schoolers drawn in a comic book style.[60] They first appeared on The N block in 2004.[60] They introduced the shows on The N's schedule.
- The Noggins (2021–24) – A group of short, teal-colored creatures with purple eyes, who appeared as mascots on the Noggin streaming service from 2021 until 2024.[61]
Spin-off media
editWebsites
editThe Noggin channel launched along with an interactive website, Noggin.com. It was first active from 1999 to 2009 and returned in 2015. The site featured games, blogs, printables, and fact sheets. The website was integrated into some of Noggin's earlier shows, like Sponk! and The URL with Phred Show, which featured viewer-submitted questions and artwork from Noggin.com.[62][63] Throughout 2000, Bill Nye of Bill Nye the Science Guy answered questions asked by Noggin.com users between airings of his show.[64][65] In 2001, Noggin launched "Chattervision", which allowed viewers to comment on different shows online and see their comments live on TV.[66]
One of the website's first games was the "Noggimation Station", which taught visitors about the animation process and allowed them to design their own animations, some of which were chosen to air on TV.[67] Another website, called MyNoggin.com, was launched in October 2007.[68] It was a subscription-based site that offered educational games and allowed parents to track their child's progress in different subjects.[69][70]
On September 4, 2024, the Noggin website, trademarks and content library[71] were purchased from Paramount by Noggin's former CEO, Kristen Kane, though a separate company named Noggin Holdings, Inc. On October 3, Noggin's website was updated, featuring a green version of Noggin's 1999 logo over the message "Rebooting..." on a black background.[72][73] On February 24, 2025, the website added a waitlist form where the user could sign up to "be the first to know when Noggin is back." In August 2025, the website became a guide to the relaunched Noggin app.
Blocks on other channels
editBlocks based on Noggin have aired on other channels. TV Land aired a one-night Noggin special on April 26, 1999.[74][75] Spanning two hours, the special featured reruns of The Electric Company, along with animated shorts featuring the Noggin logo.[76] Noggin shows were also occasionally seen on the main Nickelodeon channel.[77] On June 6, 1999, Nickelodeon ran the first episode of Noggin's Phred on Your Head Show.[78]
On March 27, 2000, Nickelodeon introduced a half-hour block of Noggin shows that aired every weekday morning until June 2001. The block was originally titled "Noggins Up" and became "Noggin on Nickelodeon" during its second year on the air.[79] It showcased one tween-oriented program every weekday, including A Walk In Your Shoes and On the Team. The block attracted thousands of visitors to the Noggin.com site.[80] Nickelodeon revived the block for a single day on April 7, 2003.[81][82][83] Following the block's removal, premiere episodes of Noggin series were often simulcast on Nickelodeon and Noggin.[84]
The Noggin name was used for an otherwise unrelated programming block on Nick Jr. UK from May 2004 until September 2005.[85] It ran for two hours every night and included reruns of older British television series for children.[86] On January 30, 2006, Noggin was launched as a block on TMF in the United Kingdom, this time in the style of the US Noggin.[87][88] It ran every weekday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.[89][90] Noggin continued for a short time on TMF's successor, VIVA, until March 2010.
From May 2021 to March 2022, the Nick Jr. Channel aired an hour-long block of programming from the Noggin streaming service every Friday.[91][92] The block, titled "Noggin Hour", featured shows such as Noggin Knows and Kinderwood,[93][94] as well as the acquired series Hey Duggee and JoJo & Gran Gran. Noggin interstitials played during commercial breaks, and a purple screen bug reading "On Noggin" was shown toward the beginning of each show.
Live events
editNoggin held live events to promote its shows. At the 2001 North American Trade Show in Minnesota, Noggin presented a replica of the set from Oobi.[95] In spring 2002, Noggin launched a live version of its Play with Me Sesame series, featuring mascot characters and music from the show.[96][97] In May 2002, the Jillian's restaurant chain offered "Noggin Play Days" each Wednesday afternoon, where attendees could watch a live feed of Noggin with themed activities and meals.[98]
In March 2004, Noggin partnered with GGP shopping malls to host a free arts-and-crafts program called Club Noggin.[99][100][101] It debuted at five malls in April of the same year.[102] Attendance at the first few events exceeded expectations,[103] leading GGP to bring Club Noggin to over 100 malls across the United States.[104] The monthly events were hosted by trained YMCA leaders, who offered crafts and activities based on Noggin characters.[105] Each meeting was themed around a different Noggin show.[106][107]
From October 2005 until late 2006, Noggin sponsored a music festival called "Jamarama Live", which toured the United States.[108][109] The tour had performances from Laurie Berkner, a musician on Jack's Big Music Show.[110][111] It also had appearances from a mascot costume of Moose A. Moose.[112] Reviewers for Time Magazine compared Jamarama to a family-friendly version of Lollapalooza.[113]
In November 2005, a Noggin float appeared at America's Thanksgiving Parade.[114] In November 2006, Noggin hosted an online charity auction on its website, called the "Noggin Auction". Viewers could bid on props from different Noggin shows.[115] Noggin also auctioned off props from The N's teen shows, with the money going to homeless shelters.[116] In August 2007, Noggin partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and sponsored its annual Trike-A-Thon program.[117][118]
