An account called The Splat has popped up across social media a couple of days ago, and has been posting cryptic messages and videos usually ending with the hashtag #TheSplatIsComing.
Many think it's a new channel specifically for airing all of the old Nickelodeon shows and cartoons.
Check out The Splat on Facebook, their official website, and on YouTube.
Inquisitr posted an article about The Splat here. (Thanks Lyrical!)

Nickelodeon will break out all the old favorite Nicktoons and series from the 1990s for a new TV network that will be called The Splat. Viacom, the parent company of Nickelodeon, quietly launched a website and social media campaign teasing “The Splat is Coming” on Friday, but provided scant details about the new network. The new site features links to its social media sites, along with the hashtag #thesplatiscoming and “follow us to be the first to find out.”
I was going to say this is probably a hoax or one of those viral media things made up by some people completely unassociated with Nickelodeon... But there twitter page is verified so it must be real.
This is so exciting and I think it could be wildly successful, I just hope it's in the UK too.
That twitter used to be named @90sAreAllThat, used to promote Teen Nick's late night retro 90s nights or something, maybe theyre finally making a whole channel dedicated to it though
I think it would work better as a streaming service tho, I see the schedule getting repetitive if all they play is reruns of the same 10-12 shows 24/7.
They announced that they are trying to reboot old Nick shows like Hey Arnold and The Rugrats. I think what they're trying to build is a network like Boomerang dedicated to older shows. They would have my coins in a heartbeat.
