"The Splat," a new multiscreen content destination on TV, social media platforms, and its own website, will feature all of Nickelodeon's best programming from the 90's, including Hey Arnold, Kenan & Kel, and Rugrats.

The programming will immerse viewers into a retro viewer experience with classic programming stunts like Nick or Treat, U-Pick and Super Toy Run. There will be recreations of the original programming from the days they aired and and original promos and interstitials such as Doo-wop Dinosaurs and the Opera Lady.

Programming will consist of an hour rotatin TV lineup airing daily from 10 PM to 6 AM. TheSplat.com will launch as a fan-driven site built around social media conversations featuring an all-new emoji keyboard will Splat-branded emoticons, stickers, and GIFs, as previewed below.

"We have been listening closely to our first generation of Nick kids that are craving the great characters and shows they grew up with watching Nickelodeon in the '90s," said Cyma Zarghami, President of Viacom Kids and Family Group. "We designed 'The Splat' with fans and their requests in mind, which means we're bringing together these beloved series and a high level of digital engagement to give fans a retro media experience they can't get anywhere else."

Each week of October will have theme, the first being "First Time for Everything," which will feature the first two episodes of fan-favorite animated and live-action shows. Starting October 12, "Rugrats Reptar Takeover" begins, highlighting the best episodes of Rugrats with Reptar. Then, October 19 marks "Hey Arnold! Live from the Stoop," with Stoop-Kid centric episodes and finally, "Nick or Treat" will cap off October where viewers can call in and select a door from a choice of six, each with a different episode behind it.

The Splat launches Monday, October 5 at 10 PM, on TeenNick.
