The expansion to Freeview and Freesat 

Viacom confirmed on June 30th 2020 that due to high demand Nicktoons UK would be expanded to Freeview and Freesat making it the first Nickelodeon channel to launch on a Free to air platform around the same time Disney Channel began broadcasting Animax on Disney Channel but that does not get the highest rating than Toonami because their policy was to air 15 and 18 content on Animax with English subtitles thus breaking the rule of airing adult programmes in the UK regardless if it is after 21:30 which that was true with Toonami but they aired U, PG and 12 rated programmes with content edited out.

Lawsuit against Disney and New Fox

On June 3rd 2023 Viacom, Nickelodeon, AT&T, WarnerMedia and Turner were filed for a lawsuit with Disney and Fox due to them airing almost the same content as them despite Toonami launching in 2019 and Animax on Disney Channel in 2021. Around the time Toonami on Nicktoons and Animax on Disney Channel were off air and the unused hours for Toonami UK were used for a temporary NickSplat until 3 am when Nicktoons ends the block for the night and airs their normal time slot and the unused hours for Disney Channel were used for repeats. The court took place on June 30th 2023 and ended on July 31st 2023 when Viacom/AT&T were announced the winners and Disney confirmed that they would be shutting down all operations except ABC when that was purchased by AT&T following the announcement.

After the Lawsuit

Nicktoons UK began airing the Iron Man Anime at the 21:30 slot and on October 3rd 2023 the block began airing mostly Warner programming after Viacom purchased AT&T for £300 billion and on November 2023 ABC began broadcasting in the UK on Sky, Virgin Media, Freesat, Freeview and BT.
