NEW YORK - June 29, 2010 - Nickelodeon closes the quarter with its biggest second quarter performance ever with total viewers (P2+) in the network's history and its 61st straight quarter as the top basic cable network with kids 2-11 and total viewers - the longest run of its kind. Nick also claims basic cable's top spot in total day with kids 2-11 and persons 2+ for 2Q10. 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%).

Victorious "Stuck in an RV" (9 p.m.) was basic cable's top show with total viewers (3.8 million) in its time period and ranked as the number-one telecast on all TV with kids 2-11 (5.7/2.0 million, +111%), kids 6-11 (8.0/1.7 million, +129%) and tweens 9-14 ( 7.3/1.6 million, +161%).

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. SpongeBob SquarePants - which year to date ranks as the number-one series with kids 2-11 and the top animated series with kids 6-11 on all television - is the number-one series this quarter with kids 2-11 and the top animated series with kids 6-11 on all TV, and is basic cable's top animated series with total viewers.
