Most programmes that air on Nickelodeon are 20 minutes long and fill up 25-26 minutes with adverts. Nick Jr’s shows are usually between 5 & 10 minutes long except stuff like Paw Patrol, Blues Clues and You and likely, Paddington. (I have a 3 year old who watches these, I don’t sit there and watch them voluntarily 😂)

If you want to watch Paw Patrol as an adult that's up to you, we won't judge

Perils of mostly relying on your American cousin for bulk of your programming - it fits their TV model, not yours.

Although that being said I do remember seeing on the EPG other children's channel (Pop?) that went really weird with the schedule after midnight and you had things like 2:22am 2:45am, 3:13am, 3:41am, 4:02am, 4:29am... right through to 6am where it morphed back into your regular 30 minute slots.

The Pop channels are quite odd in terms of scheduling anyway and always have been. During the CSC owned days (and beyond I think too) they used to schedule "[Channel Name] Through the Night" from 12.00 - 6.00.

back with Nickelodeon though and there was a period when they used to show 'Genie in the House' at 6am everyday.
