Nick at Nite, a network that was originally established as a nighttime cable channel/programming block broadcasting over the channel space of the flagship Nickelodeon channel in the United States, has expanded to include worldwide versions.

Despite the success of Nick at Nite in the United States, most international versions of Nickelodeon do not carry their own Nick at Nite programming block, as those local versions of Nickelodeon outside of the United States either carry children's programming 24 hours a day or run a non-Nick at Nite program block during the nighttime hours. While Nick at Nite's U.S. flagship primarily focuses on reruns of discontinued primetime network sitcoms, some of these international versions have aired reruns of discontinued Nickelodeon series.

America

Latin America

In Latin America, Nick at Nite is aired weeknightly on Nickelodeon Latin America from 10:00pm until 6:00am since February 6, 2006. Shows include: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Kenan & Kel, ALF, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie. It replaced the programming block "Fantabuloso", which aired series aimed at teenagers and was very similar to the U.S. Nicklelodeon flagship's now-defunct TEENick block.

Until July 4, 2009, the block aired seven nights a week. From July 5, 2009-April 2010, Nick Hits, a block featuring classic Nicktoons and Nick live-action series, took over the nighttime schedule on weekends. In April 2010, Nick at Nite began airing on weekends once again, with the addition of classic Nicktoons to the lineup. Because of this, Clarissa Explains It All, Happy Days, The Addams Family and The Munsters were removed from the schedule, as two former Nickelodeon sitcoms were added: Zoey 101 and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.

Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie, were removed from the block in early 2011. Currently, from Monday to Friday, airs live-action sitcoms from the 80's, 90's and 2000s years, including some former or ended Nickelodeon sitcoms, and on weekends, airs Nicktoons, including former or ended Nickelodeon animated series.

Since 2011, the programming for the block has been decreasing slowly, starting to get negative reception from fans of the shows. Also the low effort in the bumpers has also been bad received. This change totally takes off the original concept of the block, in August 2012, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and ALF were removed from the block.

Australia

In Australia, Nick at Nite aired from October 1995 until July/August 2000. It shared the same channel as Nickelodeon broadcasting from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m. on weeknights and 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. on weekends. Shows included Get Smart, Sanford and Son, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, The Fugitive, Bonanza, The Prisoner, The Saint, Thunderbirds, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Flying Nun, The Jim Nabors Hour and The Bob Newhart Show.[1]
