The block, which debuted on November 9, 1998 and was considered a sub-block of Telemundo Infantil, consisted of Spanish dubs of Nickelodeon's animated series aimed at older children and preschool-oriented programs aired by the channel's Nick Jr. block (such as Rugrats, Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold!, Blue's Clues and Dora the Explorer).[2][3] Nickelodeon en Telemundo were changed the schedule, it was relegated to Saturday and Sunday mornings from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. ET/PT, in order to accommodate a time slot for Hoy En El Mundo (or Esta Manana) with hosting by Jose Diaz-Balart.
In September 2001, the Nickelodeon blocks were discontinued after September 30, 2001, ahead of the expiry of Telemundo's program supply deal with Nickelodeon.

Programming
editSchedule issues
editAlthough the Nickelodeon en Telemundo block regularly aired on Monday to Friday mornings, affiliates in some parts of the country deferred certain programs within the lineup to Saturday and Sunday morning time slots to accommodate locally produced programs (such as weekend morning newscasts) or due to scheduling issues with regional or network sports broadcasts that start in time periods normally occupied by the block.
