Launched on December 1st, 1977 by the Warner Cable Communications unit of [[WarnerMedia|Warner Communications]], the network was originally founded as C-3 (though branded under the name Pinwheel, named after a children's television show of the same name). The network was later renamed to Nickelodeon on April 1, 1979, after an early 20th century exhibition dedicated to showing projected motion pictures. In 1984, Nickelodeon alongside other channels such as [[MTV]] and [[VH1|VH-1]] were spun off into a separate company known as MTV Networks. In 1985, Warner sold a minority of MTVN to [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]] and Warner acquired American Express' shares in the company. Later that year, Viacom acquired the rest of MTVN's shares from Warner. By this point, Viacom turned Nickelodeon into one of the most successful and popular children's entertainment brands in the world during the 90s to today. | ||
