Nickelodeon sign off (1984) into Arts & Entertainment Network

- Before Nick at Nite existed, due to limited cable space available, Nickelodeon and A&E used to share the same channel. Then at around 4 or 5pm, Nickelodeon would sign off and switch over to A&E. This is that transition here. As was common then, you can hear the satellite make the actual switch.

The irony is when this actually aired when I was a kid, this bumper pretty much meant your day was about to come to an end. I hated Nickelodeon going off the air. Now I watch this with the biggest smile on my face.
The last time this aired was June 30th, 1985. Nick at Nite premiered July 1st, 1985. Thus the end of Nickelodeons silver ball era, even though Nick Rocks used a variant of the silver ball logo I believe up until 1989.
I hear that. I remember one time, during the summer, I stayed up after Nickelodeon went off the air just to see what ARTS, as it was known at the time, was all about. Stayed up until 2 am, watching opera and ballet.

@@tnttammynturner ARTS is what A&E used to be on Nickelodeon.
Yup, this meant all the "kid" programming was over and it was time for "grown up" TV.
it was at least year before Nick at Nite came. Nickelodeon for kids & Nick at Nite was for grown ups. Starting at 6pm.
I was 12 when this was on TV. I just cannot describe what it was like for 12 year old living in Iowa, it opened up so much to me. Theatre, Ballet. Culture, not just sports, yes I loved baseball. But theatre became just as important. Because of this I tried out for plays in High School and College and did some
Local Dinner Theatre, Best years of my life. Thank You A&E.
Canal en Remodelacion uh no
Awesome story!
Now the Storage Wars network.
@@therainmakerinsider And also Duck Dynasty.
I’m going to become a beginner male ballet dancer.
Great video! Note that Nick then was using their "orange" logo, but during sign off, they were still using the old "silver ball" logo.
A&E Has It's Own Channel Now!
If it was after October 8th, 1984, this is true, otherwise not.
This was likely before October 8th, when they changed their logo.
Good info, we can’t deny. Feb 1 - Oct 7.
@@ethanpender9586 I’ve seen a commercial break with the Orange logo from October 2. ua-cam.com/video/2u7CPnCB2eQ/v-deo.html
At that moment, Nickelodeon already changed to its popular orange logo, but retaining its silver ball sign off sequence.
until June 1985
I theorize part of the reason for that was to match A&E's own ball of a logo so to speak 😂
@@JasonDelarosa2000 Before it became A&E. Disney currently owns a major stake in the A&E division.
I loved those little DTMF tones they used to have on cable.
Me too!
Me three! Very endearing :D
Me four!
Count me in!!!
I remember that; I used to think "Oops, the TV farted."
Man, this takes me back...shame how A&E gradually went from being "TV that people can look up to" (their slogan at the time) to its current incarnation as another cookie-cutter general entertainment/reality TV network.
Chuck D's All-New Classic TV Clubhouse
Better than the boring trash back than.
I love whenever there's a set of DTMF tones because it makes you that something is going happen but it doesn't. Scary, cool but addictive.
And in this case, it seems to have been what cued the handover at the system level.
Sorry but that wasn't me 5 years ago making that comment
I felt a chill of excitement listening to this song at the end of Nickelodeon's sign off!
I remember this. A&E and Nick use to share a Broadcast Signal. Nick would end its day with Danger Mouse.
In Philadelphia and South Jersey cable systems, Nick and A&E were on separate channels. Nick ended at 8pm after broadcasting Danger Mouse. The color bars would appear. In 1985, Nick at Nite debuted prime time and Nick became bigger than ever.
kids today have no idea what it was like with just 35 channels. i miss those days just a bit..
I just had 12 channels for many years. 2-13 tuned with a round mechanical tuner dial. And 2 screws for the VHF in and a balun to adapt the coax cable to my tv. I was envied by many of my elementary school classmates in the 70s because I actually had my own tv in my room AND IT WAS A COLOR TV AT THAT!!!
Me and my parents would be the only people who would work a TV like that the other kids on the other hand not so much (except my older brother who would get mad at it at first but then be able to handle it just fine.)
Or having just 20 channels
Man, A&E used to be all Ballet and orchestra.
That's how it should be.
***** It's a shame when they lose their original point.
***** If only they could appreciate it now.
Either that or a Test Screen. Then in '85, Nick At Nite was born.
Tornado1994 Where I was, my cable company liked playing crappy old B&W movies overnight after Nickelodeon finished at 8 or so.
The Arts & Entertainment Network. When a network's name actually reflected its programming!
Sadly, A&E has become another "Reality TV" dumping ground.
If you pause at the start you can see the 1984-2009 Nickelodeon logo
This really takes me back to my youth. That "cue tone" at 1:06 brought back even more memories of watching cable TV with a set top box with push buttons on it and no remote control in sight. A&E was true to the name back then, years before it turned into another reality show garbage wasteland.
Better than this pathetic boring trashy landfill.
oops that means the tv farted (its a joke it was the satellites that made the switch)
in el salvador, stations still use that cue tone

watch your language,
i mean, who dosent like mtv fear factor? thats clearly not me, i like mtv fear factor!
one of you guys: well, uh.............. *TRIGGERED*
I remember hearing those cue tones at the beginning and end of commercial breaks well into the 90s.
I wasn't alive back then, but 1984 Nickelodeon looks way better than now Nickelodeon.
nickelodeon was pretty awesome in the 80's,and for awhile in the 90's
Late 80s Nickelodeon - Mid 2000s Nickelodeon > anything Nickelodeon after that
@@jay0787 nickelodeon is still cool now but it downgraded. i am watching the american song contest on tv right now and one of the songs mentioned how nickelodeon was funnier back then.
What about The Ninja Turtles?
Even after their Orange Splat rebranded of the network in January 1985, Nickelodeon likely maintained the Silver Ball-era sign-off bumper until Nick at Nite debuted six months later.
The rarest Media that you finally found. Congratulations
yeah i miss this..when a channel would actually end for the day.
I hear ya
Thank you for posting this. I knew i wasn’t crazy
I miss the 80s and 90s!!
Is it just me, or is the music on the "coming next" screen just really good?
you're not alone. i think it's pretty good as well. -Sequoyah
Before this network was devoted to horders and drug addicts...
I actually like hoarders
A&E sucks now, too.
At least change the name. Same problem I have with TLC.
Nowadays it would be Spongebob meets Duck Dynasty.
No its not me and tv asshi shared with sentai
lmao

Honestly so interesting and cool getting to see what channels like Nickelodeon were like back in the olden days.
Ah, back when Arts & Entertainment Network actually had arts & entertainment!
Those days are gone!
And then Nick@Nite launched about a year later.
It’s so weird because I was born over 20 years after this didn’t even exist anymore. But it still looks and sounds so familiar but there’s no way I could’ve ever seen it. It’s interesting
Maybe you could've seen it in a past life.
@@babygirl6789 maybe
i was born 25 years after this was made
I’ve heard bits and pieces of that theme that starts at 0:30 mostly because of my Dad’s many VHS tapes, but I’ve never heard it in it’s entirety. Cool stuff! I miss the old A&E!!
I remember these sign-offs back in the day. I remember being so resentful that Nick was having to sign off for A&E Network. I'd hate watch a couple of hours until I fell asleep..LOL!!
I Didn't Know That That's What A&E Stood For,You Learn Something New Everyday
Today, A&E's slogan is Be Original.
Felt the same way about Bravo.
It may be because that two channels, ARTS (Alpha Repertory Television Service) and The Entertainment Channel have merged.
ARTS (ABC/Hearst) and The Entertainment Network (NBC) merged to become Arts & Entertainment (A&E).
I always remembered this because at 8PM after You Can't Do That on Television and Danger Mouse, Nickelodeon would switch over to A&E. And the big "&" symbol always meant it was time to go do homework.
The sign off was so epic.
Where I lived in Rochester, NY, it would just cut to the A&E sign-on in the middle of a commercial or one of those filler segments Nickelodeon aired because their last program (Usually Danger Mouse) would run short. That even kept up for awhile even after Nick At Nite launched. We'd get the start of the Nick At Nite sign-on and then it suddenly cut into A&E's sign on. Yeah, Rochester's Cable was a bit behind the times then. We had Buffalo's CBS station on the channel lineup, and also Community Access station that aired shows from the Buffalo and Syracuse NBC stations. It was trippy.
The same thing happened on the cable system in Coshocton, Ohio. After a few years A&E was given their own channel on the cable system.
Jack Atkinson I
Interesting. Where I was from my parents had cable in '85 or so. This was just prior to Nick at Nite. Anyways Nickelodeon and A&E were not on the same channel. I think Nickelodeon was on 36B and A&E 33B. After Danger Mouse it would usually go off the air and show a blue test screen. You'd have to switch channels to watch A&E.
Yyyeah... I had that BS too... I wanted to see what Nick at Nite was all about... Glad that changed in 1991. when they decided to give A&E it's own channel and left N@N intact for up to this date.
For a brief time before Nick at Nite, A&E got its own channel in some areas like yours so for that time in 85, they showed a test screen.
0:00 If you look closely, you'll see the Nickelodeon splat!
+Jose And Danny Aguero Oh, just pause it at 0:00 and you'll see the Nick splat.
Oh my goodness.
I believe this was recorded in late 1984. When the splat logo was introduced, they were still using the older Nickelodeon logo.
You mean the Silver Ball.
+Allanbuzzy 0.00 And you will see the splat
I used to watch this every time I saw Nickelodeon's sign-off in Marshfield.
This was before Nick at Nite even existed!
this is the year when nickelodeon changed into the iconic splat logo
This takes me back...watching this as a kid and hoping Nickelodeon would stay on later...thanks for posting!
I don't know if you really paid any attention, but both A&E and Nickelodeon shared a round grey pinball in their logo. Maybe to symbolize that they shared the same channel dial?
Yeah.
José Cristóvão - At 8pm Eastern/7 central time, Nickelodeon used to go off the air, and ARTS would come on. It was a weird combination since no kid at that age would stick around to watch an opera or listen to an orchestra. In mid 1984, they changed to A&E and got their own channel. Nick At Nite took over the ARTS spot in 1985 and became a 24 hours network.
Good analysis
That could be a pretty funny possibility
It could also just be the aesthetics of the time as well
I knew they did back then up until 1985.
@@Diskoboy1974 well it wasn't really meant for kids. Most kids went to bed or would be going to bed soon so they switch to programs adults would enjoy since they would actually be awake.

Things seemed so much more personal back then. Networks even signed off with the Star Spangled Banner.
at the time when this was made, Cy Schneider left Nickelodeon earlier in January/February 1984, and Geraldine Laybourne (then the programming manager of Nickelodeon) was promoted to become VP and General Manager of the Network.
And when Laybourne left the network in 1996 to start a new cable network Oxygen, Herb Scannell was promoted to president of Nickelodeon; today, Nickelodeon is headed up by Brian Robbins, a former star of Head of the Class, and former co-head of Tollin/Robbins Productions with legendary documentary filmmaker Mike Tollin.
@@chantingmammalLayborne brought on Fred Seibert and Alan Goodman from MTV Networks in June 1984.
@@Tornado1994 During June 1984, Laybourne brought Seibert and Goodman (who used to work for Warner-Amex in 1979-83) to rebrand Nickelodeon starting the first of October 1984 and replace A&E with Nick at Nite, and at the time, Warner-Amex divested Nickelodeon, and MTV into MTV Networks. The Silver Ball was last seen in June 1985 before Nickelodeon became 24 Hours!
Damn I miss those shiny 80s digital effects and music. Where I was from, Columbus Ohio the original home of Nickelodeon, the silver ball close would come right after Danger Mouse then transition right into the A&E preview graphic
The same thing happened here in Louisville, Kentucky. Danger Mouse would come on at 7:30 PM and at 8PM it would switch over to the A&E graphic, but then it would just go off the air.
Well don't you know that you'll have a time machine that could take you back to the 80s cause I hope your time machine will work great
@@entityk14 Wow. You're from my hometown and that is WILD.
Today A&E has it's own separate channel and under A+E Networks a division of Hearst Disney ABC
where did all
these years go......😌🙁
Now A&E is a small network itself: Bio, FYI, History, etc.
So is Nickleodeon: Nick Teen, Nick at Nite, TV Land, etc.
Katheryne Koelker TV Land, not TV Land. lol
@@sillygoose635 I hit Y by mistake.
Katheryne Koelker There we go.
A&E is now just the 🏠 of Leah Remini’s Scientology, The First 48 and the Dan Abrams-hosted Live PD.
How weird is it that they both just happen to have a big ball behind their logos?
Back when A&E meant something!!!
Still does!
if you press 0, you can see the "orange era" logo of nick
I remember this as a kid
i remember on Sundays around 5 pm or something like that back in the mid- late 80's, when Nickelodeon would end .then it would be Nick at Nite,which I actually enjoyed
What about the transistion from C-SPAN to USA, and USA to BET? All three shared one channel in the early days. BET was initially only on Friday late nights. USA was everything from the kids show "Calliope" to sports to "Night Flight," with cult films and "New Wave Theatre."

It use to be Arts & Entertainment Network, what happened to A&E?
it’s rebranded to some stupid comedy company (they still use the A&E company tho)
A&E focused on more true Crime.
Sad thing is an arts channel today would most likely do terribly especially when up against the mountain of watered down programming on today's networks...most of it is tripe and not even worth having TV at all.
A&E was the real nick at nite even Nickelodeon used to sign off a little early like at 4 or 5 now it signs off at 8
Only on nick hd

In Los Angeles, we had Group W Cable (which then became Century Cable in 1986). After Nick signed off at 5:30pm, there would be several hours of public access programming before the switch to ARTS (Alpha Repertory Television Service). Following a merger in 1984, it then became the Arts & Entertainment Network. When Nick-At-Nite first launched Group W kept the channel the same as it was which I was bummed by. By 1986 or 87, they finally gave A&E their own channel and finally carried Nick-At-Nite. This was the same cable system that wouldn't offer Game Show Network until a couple years after its debut.
This year marks 40 years since Cy Schneider stepped down as
original head of Nickelodeon, placing Gerry Laybourne for her position!
A&E used to be Orchestra now it's this A&E is now Cop shows and other whatnot
1:06 Sounds like the TV is going to make a phone call. LOL
DTMF code.
Also known as a cue tone
Joyousmicor 1:08 phone call
CNN was notorious for having that for their local cut-ins and returning to their national feed, for example 2 or 3 minutes before and at the top and bottom of the hour.

SPONGEBOB WOULD YOU KEEP IT DOWN?! I'M TRYING TO WATCH THE ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK!
Why do I love that boo dee boo cue tone thing so much? It sounds so quick but sounds old but interesting idk how to explain it. Also whats it actually called?
I don't know if it had an official name, but it was a cue for the local cable providers to insert a local commercial.
It's actually a set of 4 DTMF (dual-tone multifrequency) tones, aka "touch-tones", the same that your landline telephones use for dialing. And as ragnakak mentioned, it was used to automatically cue the local cable TV headends for local ad insertion, or to switch to or from a national cable TV network's feed.
is it just me or am I the only one who thinks they should of changed the balls to orange ones and then the splat at the end when they changed the logo?
that didn’t exist until late 1984
this was prob early to mid 1984
@@Imanoob5721xtimes look closely at the first frame. See? It already existed by this point
@@90sNath i mean the entire logo’s debut everywhere not just on the commercials
At least they got balls
Isn't 4 or 5 a little early to sign off cause now they sign off at 8
Back then they didn't have a separate east and west feeds (most cable networks back then didn't), so everything was 3 hours earlier for us Californians.
i am sure it was 8:00 pm ET in Waldorf Maryland on the Chascovision (Charles County cable vision) cable service. are you on Pacific? 8:00 pm ET equals 5:00 pm PT
By this point, the "pinball" logo of Nickelodeon was pretty much phased out in favor of the more familiar orange logo. It was only used for when the channel switched over to A&E. Once A&E got it's own 24 hour space, the pinball logo was retired for good.
I think they used the silver ball because the A&E logo is a silver ball
i don't think i got nickelodeon in my area until 1984?? when i was 5...just assumed it didn't exist prior
