The Nickelodeon Saturday programming block, known as Gotta See Saturdays from 2012 to 2013, Nick's New Saturday Night from 2014, Nick's Saturday Night from 2015 to 2017 and A Night of Premieres from 2018 to 2021 was the program block branding of Nickelodeon's Saturday morning and Saturday evening programming on the flagship channel in the United States. The morning block (airing from 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m ET/PT) mainly features new premieres of Nicktoons programming, with the evening block (from 7:30 p.m.-10:00 p.m ET/PT) consisting of the network's original live-action sitcoms. The branding launched on September 22, 2012 with season premieres of the respective series in both dayparts.[1] The evening version of Gotta See Saturdays was a direct successor to the former Saturday night SNICK (1992–2004) and TEENick (2001–2009) blocks.[2]
On March 31, 2018, the branding for Nick's Saturday night premieres was known as A Night of Premieres, with the premiere of the newest original series Star Falls and Knight Squad alongside season 4 of Henry Danger. The branding was discontinued on November 20, 2021, when Danger Force moved to Thursday Night starting on January 6, 2022 and Side Hustle moved to Thursday Night starting on March 10, 2022. In its previous brandings, one of the first acquired programming to air in this format was TeenNick Top 10 from sister channel TeenNick. On February 25, 2017, Nickelodeon began promoting the Saturday morning block as The Hang Zone with Lincoln Loud, themed to The Loud House. The block was discontinued on March 23, 2017.[3]
