Nickelodeon USA Tops Basic Cable For Week (14/5/2012 - 20/5/2012), Ranks As Number-One With Kids And Total Viewers
Below is a Nickelodeon Press Release from Nickelodeon USA's "Nickelodeon Kids And Family" press website, NickPress.com:
NICKELODEON TOPS BASIC CABLE FOR WEEK, RANKS AS NUMBER-ONE WITH KIDS AND TOTAL VIEWERSAlso, from Contactmusic.com:
Hour-Long Victorious Special Totals 8 Million Total Viewers; Legend of Korra No. 1 on Saturday Morning with Total Viewers
New York, NY—May 22, 2012 — Nickelodeon took the top spot for the week (5/14 – 5/20/12) as the number-one basic cable net with K2-11 (2.3/822,000) and total viewers (1.6 million) in total day. A new episode of Victorious, "Tori Goes Platinum," (Saturday, May 19, 8p.m. ET/PT), drew 3.8 million total viewers, and was number-one in its time period across key demos – K2-11(5.1/1.8 million), K6-11 (7/1.5 million), Tweens (7.3/1.5 million). The program bested direct competition by triple digits among kid and total viewers, and totaled 8.3 million total viewers over the weekend*.
The Legend of Korra, "The Aftermath" (Saturday, May 19, 11a.m. ET/PT), also topped its time period with K2-11(3.7/1.3 million), K6-11 (4/848,000), Tweens (4.1/859,000) and total viewers (3.5million), as the number two kids’ entertainment program, only behind Victorious. The program bested direct competition by double digits among kid and total viewers.
In "Tori Goes Platinum," Tori wins a contest to sing the opening number at the Platinum Music Awards. There’s just one catch, the show’s producer and his team want to reinvent her look and personality. Tori agrees to play along, but is her new fame worth changing into a new Tori? This episode features a music performance by Victoria Justice of the new single "Make It In America" (cowritten by Victoria) along with another new song "Cheer Me Up."
In "The Aftermath," tensions mount when Korra begins to suspect an ally is working for the Equalists. The Legend of Korra takes place 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender and follows the next Avatar – a girl named Korra who is from the Southern Water Tribe. With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water and Fire), Korra seeks to master Air. Her quest leads her to Republic City, the modern “Avatar” world that is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive. Korra quickly discovers that the metropolis is plagued by crime as well as a growing antibending revolution that threatens to rip the city apart. Under the tutelage of Aang’s son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training while dealing with the dangers at large.
Nickelodeon, now in its 33rd year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does.

Disney, Nickelodeon Each Claim Victory Over The Other
The two major kids networks on cable, the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, each had something to boast about following the release of last week's ratings results by Nielsen Media Research. Disney released a statement announcing that its Disney Channel was "The #1 Network in Total Day for the 49th Consecutive Week in Kids 6-11 ... and Tweens 9-14." At the same time, Nickelodeon released its own statement noting that it was the No. 1 network among kids 2-11 and total viewers (1.6 million) in total day. But its ratings have not recovered following a steep fall last September, a situation that poses a perplexing problem for Viacom, its owner, which depends on revenue from the channel for 15 percent of its operating profit.

Below is a Nick at Nite Press Release from PRNewswire:
Nick at Nite Heats Up The Summer With Stardom, Romance And Deceit With The Premiere Of Nightly Primetime Drama Hollywood Heights, Monday, June 18, At 9p.m. (ET/PT)
Special Preview Event Begins Monday, June 11 With Debut Episode Airing Nightly at 9p.m. (ET/PT) Through Friday, June 15, Followed by Series Premiere on Monday, June 18 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT)

The debut episode will encore every night at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) through Friday, June 15, with the series premiering on Monday, June 18 at 9:00 P.M. (ET/PT). Adapted for a U.S. audience from the wildly popular Mexican telenovela Alcanzar una Estrella, Hollywood Heights follows the journey of a teenage girl whose life changes drastically when she becomes a star and wins the love of her rock and roll idol, and both are tested by setbacks, heartbreak and deception. The first season of the 80-episode series, co-produced with Televisa in association with Sony Pictures Television, will air weeknights at 9p.m. through October 2012.

"Hollywood Heights, in the great tradition of telenovelas, serves up relatable characters and compelling storylines that hook you and keep you coming back to see what happens next," said Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon's President, Development and Original Programming. "The stories are about love, family and following your dreams and summertime offers a great window for this kind of viewing commitment."
Hollywood Heights centers on Loren Tate (Brittany Underwood, One Life to Live), a shy teen whose musical aspirations inch closer to reality when she wins a songwriting contest sponsored by Eddie Duran (Cody Longo, Fame), a rock star at the top of his game. Although Loren and Eddie's budding partnership – on-stage and off – faces obstacles, their strong family bonds inspire them to keep going. Loren finds the support system she needs in her single mom, Nora (Jama Williamson, Parks and Recreation), as Nora returns to the dating scene for the first time in years. Meanwhile Eddie's unbreakable bond with his father, Max (Carlos Ponce, Couples Retreat, telenovela actor/singer) – strengthened by family tragedy – is challenged by Eddie's budding romance with a beautiful, but manipulative model and aspiring actress, Chloe Carter (Melissa Ordway, 17 Again). As Loren begins a meteoric rise on the music scene and Eddie's star begins to fade, together they learn that the road to love and stardom often carries a heavy price tag. Justin Wilczynski (Kaya) also stars as Eddie's bitter former friend, Tyler Rorke.
Actor James Franco will star in a multi-episode arc as Osborne "Oz" Silver, an eccentric movie mogul who lives life to the fullest, often outrageously. Offbeat, seductive and ruthless when he has to be, Oz adores making movies and does whatever it takes to make the films he wants.
Cody Longo landed his first feature film role on Bring It On: Fight to the Finish. Shortly after, he starred in MGM's widely acclaimed film Fame, a popular movie remake of the popular television series. His undeniable talent on-screen led to recurring roles on Brothers and Sisters, CSI: NY and Make It or Break It. This summer, he will share the big screen with James Caan, Paul Sorvino and Jeffrey Tambor in the highly anticipated film For the Love of Money and will show audiences his comedic chops in the indie film High School (Adrien Brody, Michael Chiklis). Brittany Underwood is best known for the five years she spent playing the role of Langston Wilde on the popular daytime drama, One Life to Live. She has also made appearances in Margaret with Matt Damon, The Big C and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Over the last decade, Carlos Ponce has added several American and Latin American television and movie credits to his name, including Couples Retreat, Rio, NBC's Lipstick Jungle, Just My Luck, 7th Heaven, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Chasing Papi, Dos Hogares, SoBe Real, 90210, Once and Again and Perro Amor, among many others. Ponce's first stint on television was as host of Univision's Control in 1990. Soon after, he moved to telenovelas in his hometown Miami, FL and landed his first role in a soap opera, Guadalupe. He then moved to Mexico which led to other starring soap roles, including Sentimientos Ajenos for Televisa and later segued into hosting roles on American television, hosting NBC's Hispanic Heritage Awards for several years, serving as special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight beginning in 2003 and co-hosting the world telecast 2006 Miss Universe pageant for NBC and Telemundo. In 2007, he returned to telenovelas starring in Telemundo's Dame Chocolate. Ponce will soon host the first ever Spanish version of Idol Kids show in his native town in Puerto Rico.
The series is executive produced by six-time Emmy Award-winner Jill Farren Phelps (General Hospital, One Life to Live) and co-executive produced by Hisham Abed (The Hills and The City) and Josh Griffith (Young and the Restless, As the World Turns) who also serves as head writer. Phelps has worked as an executive producer at all three major broadcast networks producing daytime dramas, for a total of five programs. She began her television career on Santa Barbara where she ultimately rose to Executive Producer and later served as Executive Producer on Guiding Light before going to Another World in the same capacity. Afterward, Phelps returned to ABC Daytime serving as Executive Producer of One Life to Live and later moved to executive produce General Hospital from 2001-2011.
Emmy Award-winning writer/producer Josh Griffith has a proven track record in writing and developing hit programming. Having served as writer/head-writer on such long-running daytime serials as One Life to Live, As the World Turns, Santa Barbara and more recently as Executive Producer of The Young & The Restless, his work garnered him four Daytime Emmy Awards and four Writer's Guild Awards. Abed has served as Director on MTV's groundbreaking docu-drama, Laguna Beach: The Real O.C. The success of the series led him to continue on with the network's subsequent hit docu-dramas, The Hills and The City, for which he received critical praise.
On May 30, NickatNite.com will launch its Hollywood Heights show site, which will include a ‘Character Connection’ section for viewers to get to know the new series’ characters. After the series launch, the site will feature Hollywood Heights highlights with teasers for upcoming episodes, and recaps of the show’s best moments.

Hollywood Heights follows Nickelodeon's success with the live-action serialized series, House of Anubis and Degrassi. The series is an adaptation of the hit Mexican telenovela, Alcanzar una Estrella, first broadcast on Canal de las Estrellas and Univision in 1990. The success of the telenovela led to a film and sequel telenovela starring Latin American pop sensations, Ricky Martin and Sasha Sokol.

The online competition invites fans to create their own ending to an animated Popsicle® Pete adventure – one where he collides with yogurt to create a Yosicle™ pop. One winner* will receive a trip to Los Angeles to see Kenny bring their winning submission to life in a Hollywood recording studio.
