Author: Nickandmore!
For all of 2017, Disney Channel and Nickelodeon placed all the programs in the year’s top 10 most watched list.
The data on this page is from Nielsen Media Research by way of Showbuzz Daily.

Only premieres for the network featured in this article are listed (no simulcast ratings or premieres that aired on other networks). Available premiere data used as provided.
Numbers are in hundred thousands, so add “,000” to the end of each number shown.
