Is it a TV channel? Movie plex? Jukebox machine?

It's easily googleable, but IIRC it was a theater where they showed films for a nickel.

Primarily one and two, apparently the third one only came about because of the use of the term in the song Music! Music! Music! .

Nickelodeon is an antiquated name for movie theaters. It gets its name from the price paid, a nickel, and a Greek word, odeion, meaning a roofed-over theater.

I've also seen it use to refer to pianolas and kinetoscopes.

Even when I was watching the channel in the early 80s, I always assumed the name came from something like this:

No, don't ask me how I knew what one of those was in the 80s - I have no idea how I knew about it either.
