Spike is Dutch television channel in the Netherlands and Flanders, based on the American channel of the same name. It is the third Spike channel next to the US and UK version of the channel. The television channel aimed at an audience of mainly men. In the Netherlands and Flanders, the channel started broadcasting on 1 October 2015. It broadcasts daily between 21:00 and 2:30, time-sharing with Nickelodeon. As a result, the program block TeenNick of Nickelodeon that has previously aired between 21:00 and 5:00 stopped on 1 October 2015. The time between 2:30 and 5:00 was taken over by Nickelodeon.
