Nickelodeon is an Australian free-to-air digital multichannel operated by Paramount Networks UK & Australia through Ten Network Holdings.

Originally launched as 10 Shake on 27 September 2020, it marked Network 10's third multichannel offering. During its tenure as 10 Shake, the channel aired children's content throughout the daytime, predominantly drawing from the Nickelodeon catalogue, while evenings were dedicated to young adult audiences with programming sourced from CBS, Comedy Central, and MTV. Following the rebranding to Nickelodeon, the schedule was reorganized into distinct segments featuring Nick Jr., Nickelodeon, and Nick at Nite blocks.

10 Shake (2020–2023)

In May 2020, Beverley McGarvey, chief content officer for Paramount Networks UK & Australia, revealed intentions to launch a new digital channel aimed at viewers younger than 50 years old.

On 13 July 2020, details emerged that 10 Shake would debut in September, offering Nickelodeon children’s shows during daylight hours and "edgy" series and films for adults under 40 in the evening lineup, including content from Comedy Central, MTV, and international imports such as The Late Late Show with James Corden.

The channel commenced broadcasting on 27 September 2020 in major metropolitan areas. In 2021, Network 10 finalized a re-affiliation agreement with SCA to extend 10 Shake’s reach into regional regions starting from 1 July 2021. Later, on 14 September 2022, the channel became accessible on Foxtel.

Nickelodeon (2023–present)

On 22 June 2023, it was announced that 10 Shake would transition to Nickelodeon beginning 1 August. This rebranding introduced a dedicated Nick Jr. segment for preschoolers during daytime hours, while evening programming targeting young adults was rebranded as Nick at Nite. Consequently, this shift resulted in the discontinuation of the pay-TV Nickelodeon channel on Foxtel within Australia; however, it remains available on Fetch TV and Sky.

Programming

Prior to its rebrand, 10 Shake delivered a blend of reruns and Australian free-to-air premieres primarily drawn from Network 10’s parent company Paramount and its affiliated brands such as CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central.

The channel also broadcast Australian-produced children’s programs including Totally Wild, Crocamole, alongside other C-classified dramas. It developed short-form content like Shake Takes, inspired by social media personalities and supported by sponsors including VTech, Toyworld, Spin Master, and The Accent Group. This series was later replaced by Nick News prior to the transition to Nickelodeon.

Moreover, the network features productions from prominent film and television studios such as Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon Movies, MTV Entertainment Studios, Paramount Animation, DreamWorks Pictures, Miramax, and Paramount Players.
