Noggin UK was a children's television slot broadcast on MTV's free-to-air music channel, TMF, from 7am to 9am daily. It launched in its most recent format on January 30, 2006. It was the first commercial children's television channel to air on the UK's DTT platform, Freeview, followed by CITV, then lastly Playhouse Disney on ABC1. Prior to its launch on TMF, it was carried as part of Nick Jr. between 8pm and 10pm, but focused on classic animated children's programmes from the late 1960s to early 1990s. This strand has since been replaced with Nick Jr. Classics. It is based on the USA-owned channel Noggin, which has been broadcasting since 1999.

On Monday 25 September 2006, Noggin was replaced by a new strand named Nick Jr on TMF, which is identical to its predecessor with the exception of the new branding.
