Rare Polish segments.
Costs, likely, especially by cheap ViacomWhy does Nick still use voiceovers for everything in the Baltics? Those countries are moving more towards lipsync dubs, but traditionally always used voiceovers due to Soviet influence and the cost of hiring actors for such a small potential audience. I'm guessing Nick itself isn't the one ordering those in and they've delegated the translation to whoever provides the channel in the region like with Disney Channel in Bulgaria using voiceovers by Media Link who also brought the channel to the country, and DC ex-Yugoslavia using poorly-done subtitles again ordered by the distributor rather than Disney.

I didn’t even think the Baltic Nick might be operating on the same premise as other channels. I overthink a lot. It sucks but nothing I can do.Well, it's not responsible for anything anymore obviously

Now everything is even more centralized, and obviously there's nothing in Moscow anymore

I don't know when Baltic countries left this feed, but already before the shutdown, Riga times and so on wouldn't be mentioned
Overall, it was a good idea: obviously Russian is losing popularity as a lingua franca (although Russian channels have been there for a long time) and now these countries can get a more "neutral" feed
It'd be ideal to have a Baltic feed, but it's an era of ever rationalization
