(Actually, The N was not a sister channel to Noggin, but rather a programming block.)
(Noggin still exists, just as a streaming service instead of a channel. The N block was discontinued in 2008, not 2009.)

Noggin was a television network for small children. Though it is commonly stated that ''Daria'' was seen in reruns from July 2002 through June 2006 on this network, ''Daria'' was actually shown on a sister programming block for eight to 14-year olds, The N. The N shared the same channel as Noggin, running from 3 pm to early morning every day until 2007. Viacom, who owns [[MTV]], rebranded the network/block as separate networks, Nick Jr. and TeenNick respectively in 2009.
Noggin is an entertainment brand owned by Nickelodeon. It first launched as a cable television network, which was divided into two programming blocks: a daytime block for young children and a nighttime block for tweens and teens, called The N (standing for "The Noggin"). ''Daria'' was seen in reruns on The N from July 2, 2002 through June 2006. Viacom, who owns [[MTV]], discontinued the block in 2008. It was eventually merged with Nickelodeon's own teen block, TEENick, into a separate channel called TeenNick.


In the beginning, when The N was looking for ways to appeal to its "tween" audience, ''Daria'' was deemed too "adult" and was therefore censored. Censorship was usually restricted to cutting out "bad" words (such as Jake's numerous "dammits" and the word "ass"), but many times The N went further and cut humorous lines with innuendo or even whole plotlines. This editing became known as '''Nogginization''', and the affected episodes were said to be '''Nogginized''' to distinguish them from the original, full-length versions. Episodes were skipped over, such as "[[My Night at Daria's]]".
