A show aimed at young viewers got a huge audience and wound up beating everything else on cable last week, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s The Live Feed blog

Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards were watched by 7.3 million viewers, making the program the top cable telecast for the week ended Sunday, according to the report.

The awards show, which aired on Saturday and featured plenty of the cable network’s trademark green slime, was also the week’s top telecast among children 2 to 11 years old, children 6 to 11 years old and those 9 to 14 years old, the story says.

The telecast’s lead-out on Nick, a new episode of "Victorious," set a series high with 6.2 million viewers, the piece adds.
