According to Nielsen Media Research (3/29/10-6/27/10), Nickelodeon averaged 2.2 million total viewers; a 3.4/1.2 million K2-11; a 3.0/649,000 K6-11; and 2.3/491,000 T9-14 for the quarter.

Nick's 2Q10 was fueled by performances of hit series iCarly, which scored basic cable's top entertainment telecast ("iPsycho", Friday, June 4, 8 p.m. ET/PT) with total viewers (8.3 million) for the quarter. iCarly's "iPsycho" also stands as broadcast and basic cable's top telecast with kids 2-11, kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14 for the quarter.

As summer officially kicked in, Nick punctuated the quarter with a strong weekend performance (June 25-June 26) from its hit live-action roster of iCarly, Big Time Rush and Victorious. A heat wave-themed evening of programming on Saturday night (June 26, 8-10 p.m. ET/PT) won the net the time period with kids 2-11, kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14 on all TV, posting double-digit increases over last year. Quarter to date Nickelodeon's live-action hits top basic cable on Saturday nights with kids 6-11 (7.2/1.6 million, +80%) and tweens 9-14 (6.6/1.4 million, +100%).

With kids 2-11 for the quarter, Nickelodeon boasts six of the top 10 programs on broadcast and basic cable, including top-ranked SpongeBob SquarePants, The Penguins of Madagascar and iCarly.

SpongeBob SquarePants and The Penguins of Madagascar also helped net Nick its quarterly win.
