TMF UK Closure - 26 Oct 2009 (includes Noggin & Up Your VIVA!)

In January 30, 2006 Noggin was revive in the UK, on TMF to air on the UK's DTT platform, Freeview, followed by CITV, then lastly Playhouse Disney on ABC1. but in September 25, 2006 Nick Jr on TMF had replaced the strand Noggin but its programming has remained identical. It used the same ident and presentation package as its main sister, Nick Jr. The reason for the change is unknown, but could possibly be due to the fact the Nick Jr brand is more well known in the United Kingdom than Noggin. Programmes shown included LazyTown, Dora the Explorer, Thomas & Friends, and The Backyardigans amongst others. Noggin started broadcasting in 2009 after replacing the former Nick Jr. on TMF block. The final set of programmes shown were Go Diego Go!, Dora the Explorer, Little Bear and Maggie & The Ferocious Beast. It was a children's television slot broadcast on TMF from 07:00 to 09:00 daily. Noggin UK closed permanently in March 2010, at which point TMF had been replaced by VIVA.
From 30 April 2010 to 6 January 2013, the post-Noggin branding aired on Nick Jr. This was inspired by Noggin and used Moose and Zee as mascots. For comparison, this aired in the US from 28 September 2009 to 29 February 2012.
A main reason why this dub is mostly lost is because of Moose and Zee's sparse appearances on the network. While they featured heavily between programmes on the commercial-free American Nick Jr., guiding the viewers throughout the day, due to the need of advertising space and other factors, Moose and Zee only appeared on some up-next and now bumpers at irregular times, and did not appear on the channel's website at all, and their existence mentioned little, if at all, by the network. All these factors, as well as their short runtime of just over 2.5 years (excluding Noggin UK which was designed for Freeview viewers), contributed to not only the lack of availability of the dub online, but also most viewers at the time not remembering the mascots, even in comparison to previous ones Face and Piper O' Possum. When they were taken off the channel on 7 January 2013, there was almost zero controversy generated by viewers, unlike in the US.
A video of TMF UK's final shutdown was recently found, featuring the UK Dub of the Noggin song "Everywhere I Go", however, it's a shortened version.
Two videos of the UK Dub have been found, one is a promo where Zee does a race in space, and the other has Moose and Zee as 'The Eco Rangers' who power stuff off before going out. These 2 promos both have USA versions.
