Nickelodeon is a Malaysian television channel launched in 1999.
Nickelodeon is available on Astro Channel 636. English is the primary audio channel with dub in Malay on secondary audio channel. In 2008, a third audio channel, Mandarin, was added. However the Malay and Mandarin audio channels are only available on selected programming blocks. Attempts to access them on blocks where they are not transmitted yields the English primary audio channel.
