Later, on 2000, Nickelodeon launches MundoNick.com, the official site of Nickelodeon, allowing kids to vote for their favorite cartoons in special blocks like "Nick VS Nick", "InterNick" and "Click Nick". A broadband radio was available called "Nick Radio", then it was replaced for Nick Jr. official site.
