Broadcast history[]

SpongeBob premiered on Italia 1 on August 30, 2004, and was last shown on February 19, 2012, only the first 7 seasons that were acquired by Mediaset were dubbed and broadcast on the channel.
Boing[]
SpongeBob aired on Boing for the first time in April 2011, just like Italia 1, the first 7 seasons were aired, as the series arrived on the channel through Mediaset, the series was aired rarely and the It last aired on May 30, 2016, when Mediaset's rights to the show expired.
Super![]
SpongeBob premiered on Super! in June 2012, and still airs on the channel, episodes from season 5 onwards were aired, but currently only recent episodes are aired.
Nickelodeon[]
SpongeBob debuted on Nickelodeon on December 24, 2004, when the channel launched in Italy, and still airs with new episodes being broadcast every now and then.
Notes[]
- Unlike most dubs of the series, this one does not have SpongeBob's name translated.
- Unlike the majority of children's animation that aired on Italia 1, the theme song was not replaced with an original composition - this was most likely due to the series being owned by Viacom.
- For the first nine seasons, this dub did not translate the theme song (except for Painty and the kids at the beginning) and instead used an instrumental version without any vocals. This also occured in "Christmas Who." Starting in season 10, however, the theme song was fully dubbed with Italian lyrics.
- In seasons 10 and 11, the theme song is sung by Marco Carta, a famous Italian singer, whereas in season 13, the theme song is sung by SpongeBob's voice actor, Claudio Moneta.
- In "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" and some Season 1 episodes, the theme song is left in English.
- The first seven seasons' title cards use the background of the credits, but without the wave effect, with the episode name in Cooper Black.
- SpongeBob's voice actor, Claudio Moneta, reads the title card even though it is localized. This could be the result of dubbing the episode first and then localizing text afterwards.
- "Truth or Square" was the only episode to use the original background of the title card until season 8.
- In "Help Wanted", when SpongeBob returns to the Krusty Krab with the hydrodynamic spatula, he sings the 20th Century Studios fanfare.
- In seasons 1-3, several songs were cut on television (including Nickelodeon VOD) due to licensing issues. They are uncut on home video and streaming and from season 4 onwards.
- All of these songs were left undubbed from the English version.
