On February 1, 2009, the TEENick block was silently discontinued following a decision to use the Nickelodeon name to brand all of the channel's daytime programming.

"[2] TEENick was announced on February 13, 2001 by Cyma Zarghami and offering live-action and animated shows such as Taina, Caitlin's Way and As Told by Ginger, as well as a weekly countdown of viewers' top music-video picks.

TEENick's programming mainly consisted of live-action comedies, such as Drake & Josh, Ned's Declassified: School Survival Guide, Zoey 101, True Jackson, VP, and iCarly, as well as occasional reruns of animated shows such as All Grown Up!

Like the rest of the Noggin channel, The N's original shows were created with educational goals,[4] which was uncommon for teen programming at the time.

On August 13, 2007, Viacom announced that it would shut down Nick GAS at the end of the year, with a 24-hour version of The N taking over its channel space.

[5][6] 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.
