Nickelodeon’s iCarly and Big Time Rush Top Basic Cable on Friday with Total Viewers, Kids and Tweens

NEW YORK–March 9, 2010–Nickelodeon’s dynamic duo, iCarly and Big Time Rush, produced yet another night of stellar performances by grabbing basic cable’s top two spots with total viewers (P2+) on Friday (March 5).  iCarly’s “iSpace Out” topped basic cable overall with total viewers (5.3 million), kids and tweens for the night.  Big Time Rush’s “Big Time Break” lodged a second-place finish among basic cable telecasts with total viewers (3.9 million), and was number-two with kids and tweens for Friday.

iCarly “iSpace Out” (March 5, 8 p.m. ET/PT) also bested all broadcast and cable programming with kids 2-11 and 6-11 for the week (3/1/10-3/8/10).  The telecast posted double- and triple-digit gains with all key demos and averaged an 11.1/2.4 million K6-11 (+127%), 8.6/1.9 million T9-14 (+126%) and a 8.5/3.0 million K2-11 (+85%). iCarly, year to date’s top live-action series with kids 2-11 and basic cable’s top tween 9-14 program for February, also took basic cable’s top spot on Friday with Adults 18-49 (1.1/1.3 million, +120%).

Big Time Rush scored its highest-rated and most-watched telecast since its premiere (Jan. 18) with kids, tweens and total viewers with “Big Time Break” (March 5, 8:30 p.m. ET/PT).  The telecast posted double- and triple-digit gains over last year, averaging a 9.0/1.9 million K6-11 (+137% over last year), 6.8/1.5 million T9-14 (+152%), 6.8/2.4 million K2-11 (+74%) and delivering gains of +171% among total viewers.  Nick’s record-setting Big Time Rush followed iCarly as broadcast and basic cable’s top live-action show with kids 2-11 in February.

Fresh from its most-watched February performance ever, Nickelodeon topped basic cable with kids 2-11, 6-11, tweens and total viewers for the week.  The network averaged a 3.5/1.3 million K2-11, 2.9/631,000 K6-11, 2.0/430,000 T9-14 and 2.2 million total viewers.   For the week, Nick snagged nine of the top 10 telecasts among kids 2-11 (including iCarly, SpongeBob SquarePants, Big Time Rush) and six of the top 10 telecasts with kids 6-11 on all of television, as well as nine of the top 10 kids’ programs on basic cable with total viewers.

Nickelodeon, now in its 30th year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does.

Good Luck Charlie Premieres April 4 After the Broadcast Premiere of High School Musical 3: Senior Year

via Disney Channel press release:

“GOOD LUCK CHARLIE,” A SITCOM FOR EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE, PREMIERES SUNDAY, APRIL 4 (8:30 P.M., ET/PT) ON DISNEY CHANNEL

Lead-in is Broadcast Television Premiere of “High School Musical 3: Senior Year”

A sitcom geared towards the whole family, “Good Luck Charlie,” will premiere SUNDAY, APRIL 4 (8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. The comedy revolves around what happens when a new baby joins the Duncan household and roles shift for everyone in the family, including teen siblings PJ and Teddy and tween brother Gabe, who must adjust to the many changes baby Charlie brings. Before they know it, she’s sitting up, crawling, walking and running — requiring them to team up and help their parents, Bob and Amy, look after the cute little newcomer. In each episode Teddy creates a personalized video diary for Charlie, an older sister telling her baby sister about all the things she’ll help her learn as she grows up.

The series’ lead-in is the highly anticipated broadcast television premiere of “High School Musical 3: Senior Year.”

In the premiere episode, “Study Date,” Amy is fretting as she returns to work as a nurse, but Bob reassures her that they have a support system to care for Charlie. However Teddy’s distracted by a cute classmate, PJ is trying to have a jam session with his friend and Gabe is feeling as if their territory has been invaded. When Bob slips and falls on the stairs, Charlie is put in the sole care of Teddy and PJ drives his dad to the hospital, where they go to great lengths to avoid mom.

The talented “Good Luck Charlie” cast is: Bridgit Mendler (“Wizards of Waverly Place”) as Teddy, Leigh-Allyn Baker (“Will & Grace”) as Amy, Bradley Steven Perry as Gabe, Eric Allan Kramer (“My Name Is Earl”) as Bob, Jason Dolley (“Cory in the House”) as PJ and newcomer Mia Talerico as Charlie.
