My recording of the Nickelodeon test card is from late 1999, and was recorded from analogue, on the shared Nickelodeon/Paramount channel, so it definitely went out on analogue at certain times. The Paramount test card went off at 6, then the Nickelodeon test card came on for the next hour.

Another Nickelodeon thing I remember, which was on digital, was around 2002 after closedown, they ran a load of random footage (with lots of spooling tapes back and forth, credit squeeze graphics and the likes), including old in-vision continuity- the continuity started off being recent, then gradually got older. The more recent continuity was recorded "as broadcast", so you got snatches of the programmes and trailers either side, but once it got to clips from around 1997 it was raw studio footage, so you saw things like the presenter talking to the caller who was about to go on air, and walking off the set at the end. Was fascinating to watch.
