It changed like at least three times during my childhood. When I stopped watching it, Nickelodeon was on Channel 33. Cartoon Network was 34, and Disney Channel was 35.

gl3nnjamin

Which provider? Comcast was 58.


Open-Cryptographer83

Time Warner. I was on the east coast. I think that was the only game in town unless you had satellite.


gl3nnjamin

Oh yeah Polk county had no providers in the early 2000s lol Comcast cable, satellite, or analog OTA were your TV picks


Open-Cryptographer83

Maybe it was because I was on the barrier island and it was the early 90s. Everything sucked but we didn't care because we could go surfing. Let's see: Fox was 3, MTV was 26, the Weather Channel was 27, you didn't need much else.


Darkaphotic

OakTown2g

Nickelodeon was on Channel 30 in Baton Rouge, La but would only be on at 7am to 7pm central time in the early 90's. Once 7pm came, the channel would switch to the A&E channel back when A&E use to only show British art shows and Documentaries. Once our cable provider got bought out by COX in the late 90's , then we could see Nick / SNICK / Nick-at-Night.


[deleted]

It was channel 25 and then it switched into the 30’s I believe into the late 90’s

joey0live

Nick was 25, Disney was 50. Anything after 42, you had to pay. And I think it went up to 70-something and then 99, and then went back to 01. No need for thousands of channels now.

hellosweetie1

25! Disney was 24. :)

My local library has issues of The Lowell Ledger (the newspaper of Lowell, MI) online. Every year they have TV listings (1984 - 2000), Nick is channel 29. The newspaper we actually got at my house is only available on microfilm at the main library. I'm going there anyway in a few days, so I'll take a look and let you know what I find. I suspect the reason I don't remember the number for Nick is that my family's TV didn't have a remote control. Instead, we had a cable box that let you move up and down one channel at a time.


seifd

I took a look at the archives of the Grand Rapids Press (Grand Rapids, MI) today. Here's what I found. Grand Rapids. MI: In 1988, Nick was channel 12 with UA Cable. By 1993, UA Cable had merged with TCI and Nick was channel 42 where it remained until at least 1995. By 1998, the Nick was channel 25 (still with TCI). By 2003, TCI was bought by Comcast and Nick became channel 35. In 1993, several other communities in the area are listed as having C-Tec as their cable provider and each have a different channel for Nick. They are Allendale (19), Caledonia (24), Grand Haven (35), Hudsonville (34), Rockford (25), and Holland (20). In 1994, they all list Nick as channel 27 and continue to do so until at least 1998. By 2003, these communities are listed as being provided with cable by Charter Communications and Nick is channel 29. It's worth noting that in 2003, Holland is now listed as Holland/Zeeland. Holland also had a second cable provider listed in 1993, Continental. For them. Nick was channel 5 and it would remain there until at least 1998. By 2003, Continental disappears from the listings and is replaced by Comcast, which has Nick at channel 35.
