History
The channel launched on Sky, Virgin Media, and TalkTalk on July 20, 2009 as TEENick. At its time of launch, the hosts of the channel were Olly Murray (who helped launch TeenNick solely) and Nathan A. Thomas. Other than airing programmes, the channel also airs interviews with the hosts and singers, and music videos (much like the TeenNick channel in the U.S.). The channel originally only broadcasted everyday from 6am to 7pm.

On April 30, 2010, TeenNick (along with its sister channels) adopted the worldwide rebrand and logo from Nickelodeon in the United States. It also extended its broadcasting hours to 24 hours the same day. In August 2010, a one-hour timeshift service for TeenNick (named TeenNick Replay, later renamed TeenNick + 1) was launched.

In October 2010, there were plans for there to be an HD version of the channel to launch on Sky and Virgin Media, however, these plans were scrapped.

In November 2012, Olly Murray announced via Twitter that she would be leaving as host of the channel soon. She left the network in April 2013, and in her place, Miranda Cosgrove took over as co-host.

In June 2016, the channel began broadcasting in the British Overseas Territory, Gibraltar, located in Spain.
