==History==
Noggin launched on February 2, 1999, as a joint venture between [[Viacom|Viacom's]] [[Nickelodeon (television)|Nickelodeon]] and the [[Children's Television Workshop|Sesame Workshop]], but its interest in Noggin was sold to [[Viacom]] at some point in 2002. During this time, Noggin's target audience was at preteens, with its programming more educational in nature than Nickelodeon, so it wouldn't be confused with the more older audience of the channel.
