Hannah Montana breaks cable ratings record

August 20th, 2007 | Category: Children

You thought the big news on Disney that past week was High School Musical 2? Nope. It was actually what happened to Hannah Montana (wow, a mention of High School Musical and Hannah Montana in the same post - my 14 year-old girl demographic fan base just exploded).

While the musical sequel got big numbers and got all the buzz, the episode of Hannah Montana that followed averaged 10.7 million viewers. That’s the highest ratings for a regular series in the history of basic cable. Now, are all

these society tuning in to see Miley Cyrus or her dad Billy Ray?

Of course, it helped that Zac Efron and company were the lead in, since High School Musical 2 got over 17 million viewers, the singled-out biggest ratings in basic cable history. Lots of history made by at Disney that week.
