Nickelodeon, a destination for kids, has had relatively flat ratings.

In the second quarter, according to Nielsen Media Research, MTV generated an average rating of 0.6, or about 688,000 viewers, down from the same quarter a year earlier, when it got a 0.8, or an average of 826,000 viewers. Among 18-49 year olds, MTV’s average viewers slipped to 486,000 from 545,000.
