Update (4/15) - It looks like the saga continues. Days after adding Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., DIRECTV NOW today started to email subscribers to notify them of some changes to their plans. According to an email sent to Cord Cutters News from their readers, as of May 14th, 2019 Nick Jr. will be removed from DIRECTV NOW’s Live a Little package.
Here is the email DIRECTV NOW sent grandfathered Live a Little subscribers:
"We’re making a few changes to your lineup that we think will give you more of what you want to stream, and less of what you don’t.
We’ve added two new channels to your lineup at no extra charge On Boomerang, you’ll find classic cartoons like Scooby-Doo, Tom & Jerry and more of your old school favorites. REVOLT, founded by Sean “Diddy” Combs, is living- and leading – Hip Hop culture through live performances, breaking new artists, original programming, live events and more.
Your Live a Little package will no longer include Nick Jr. as of 5/14/2019, but as a current customer, you have the option of keeping it To hang on to Nick Jr., chat here.
Sincerely, Your DIRECTV NOW Team"
According to Cord Cutters News, if you want to keep Nick Jr. all you have to do is ask. Apparently they will email you a conformation.

About Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Considered one of the most popular kids' television programs of the 1980s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a classic, global property created in 1984 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. It first debuted as a successful comic book series and then became a hit animated TV show, a live-action television series and later spawned four blockbuster theatrical releases. The property has also translated into a significant consumer products business - with toys apparel, home goods, video games, DVDs and more--that has generated billions of dollars at retail. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a top selling action figure and the franchise is a previous recipient of the Toy Industry Association's top honor for Property of the Year at the TOTY Awards.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles follows four mutant turtles—Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo—trained in the art of ninjutsu by their mutant rat sensei, Master Splinter, who teaches the turtles to battle evil from the New York City sewers.
Nickelodeon acquired the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 2009 and launched a CG-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series which re-energized these iconic characters of this wildly popular franchise in 2012. Nickelodeon followed up the CG-animated series, which ran for four seasons, with Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which premiered in 2018. The action-comedy series follows the band of brothers as they discover new powers and encounter a mystical world they never knew existed beneath the streets of New York City. Currently in its first season, Rise of the TMNT airs globally across Nickelodeon's channels and branded blocks in 170+ countries and territories. The series has been greenlit for a second season, which will debut during Fall 2019.
Rise of the TMNT is co-executive produced by Andy Suriano (character designer, Samurai Jack) and Ant Ward (supervising producer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) at Nickelodeon in Burbank, California.
