What was Nickelodeon's original name?

Nickelodeon's original name was Pinwheel because the television channel was initially marketed as Pinwheel: The Television Network for Children. It was launched on December 1, 1977, as a channel for educational children's programming, featuring shows like Pinwheel, Sesame Street, and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. However, in 1979, the channel was renamed Nickelodeon and started incorporating more entertainment-based content, gradually becoming the popular network we know today.
