TEENick was a teen-oriented television programming block that aired on Nickelodeon. The block launched on 2001[1] and lasted until February 2, 2009. TEENick aired on Sunday nights from 6-9 p.m. ET/PT and, beginning in 2004, began to also air on Saturday nights from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT (replacing the popular SNICK block that started in 1992). It was originally hosted by Nick Cannon, and then by Jason Everhart (aka "J. Boogie").

TEENick and "The N" had a programming block "TEENick on 'The N'". It aired on January 16, 2007 and then lasted until May 12, 2007, but then returned on March 1, 2008. The block included shows such as Romeo!, Just Jordan, iCarly, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Drake & Josh, All That, H2O, The Amanda Show, Zoey 101, Mr. Meaty and All Grown Up!. On August 3, 2009, TEENick was dropped from "The N" once again.

The TEENick name was discontinued in February 2, 2009 to give a separation of time between the block's end and the September 28, 2009 launch of TeenNick, the replacement name for "The N", a 24-hour network which had progressed from taking half of the broadcasting day on Noggin from 2002-2009 to eventually becoming its own network at the end of 2007 under the former 1999-07 (2009 in Dish Network) channel space of Nickelodeon Games and Sports for Kids. Nickelodeon continues to program new series on Saturday nights, but without theme branding.
