The N is a television channel in the United States aimed at pre-teens and teenagers. It is owned by Viacom. It was launched on April 1, 2002 and runs from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. EST. During the day, the channel is known as Noggin and is targeted toward pre-schoolers. The channel was founded as Noggin by Viacom and Sesame Workshop, with the latter eventually selling their stake in the company to Viacom.

Originally, The N ran completely commercial free, like most of Viacom's other digital cable channels. The channel broke programs only to run self-promotion spots for the channel and other shows on it, and occasionally to run music videos. In May 2004, The N began running commercials for products targeted at the channel's market.
