children's channel
launched on 8 December 2004, and appeals to children under the age of 15. All foreign television animated programs have been dubbed into
Arabic

MBC Group
.

Nickelodeon Arabia
in 2011. It includes
Nicktoons

SpongeBob SquarePants

Go Diego Go
,
The Backyardigans

MBC 3 is known in the Middle East for censoring scenes unsuitable for Islamic audiences, such as visual romance outside of marriage, kissing before marriage scenes, awkward angles of female characters, sensual scenes between members of the opposite sex,
cross-dressed
men, references to alcohol and gambling, references to non-Islamic religious content and visually-grotesque scenes. However, the channel does not have a proper consensus of its censoring policy, featuring cuts that are so heavily edited it renders plot continuities inconsistent.
