Nickelodeon Sonic (formerly Sonic Nickelodeon) is an Indian children's pay television channel operated by Viacom18 as part of the Nickelodeon India network.[1]

After 9 years on the air, Sonic became the fourth most watched channel across all genres with TRP in December 2020.[2]

History

Viacom18 launched the channel in December 2011.[3] When it launched, the channel mostly aired action shows like Power Rangers, Kung Fu Panda and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. On 3 May 2016, the channel was rebranded with the tag line "Destination of high decibel comedy and action", and was given a new logo.[4]

Since the rebrand, the channel has shifted its focus to comedy and started producing some original local shows.

Sonic Nickelodeon began broadcasting in Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi, Kannada and Gujarati languages from 2 December 2019.[5]
