Nick Studio 10
'Nick Studio 10' was a programming block on Nickelodeon which debuted on February 18, 2013, and ended on June 17, 2013, never returning from a planned hiatus after one additional 'best-of' Labor Day special on September 2, 2013. It aired weekday afternoons during the traditional school year from the network's headquarters building in Times Square in Manhattan, New York, and was presented live for viewers in the Eastern and Central time zones.
The program was hosted by four teen actors who created random and surreal comedy skits and other content directed towards kids and teens. The program aired from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET, and was the first live afternoon block for the network since the short-lived 2007 block ME: TV. Nick Studio 10 was an attempt to revive the network's tradition of live and hosted afternoon blocks, with previous entries including Nick in the Afternoon and U-Pick Live.
The block started out as solely featuring multiple episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, though two other series, The Fairly OddParents and Monsters vs. Aliens, were cycled into the schedule by the start of April. No new episodes of any series premiered during the block's entire run. The Nick Studio 10 continuity clips were inserted both naturally during program breaks, along with short clips taken from viral videos or other sources randomly within programming, which included non sequiturs such as "Nick Did It!" before returning to the scheduled programming in-progress. The in-show interruptions were quickly ended after a matter of weeks in response to negative viewer feedback.
