“Musical 2” also dwarfed the broadcast competition to become the most-watched Friday telecast in more than five years.

“These movies have empowered kids to express themselves in whole new ways and have changed their lives forever.” “Breaking the viewership record is terrific, but records come and go, and what’s really important is the impact the ‘High School Musical’ movies have had on kids all over America and all over the world,” said Marsh, Disney Channel Worldwide entertainment president. The numbers, which include an eye-popping 9.4 million cable homes, would be even higher if the fact that many kids and parents nationwide gathered to watch at viewing parties was taken into account.

Overall, “Musical 2” was the most watched program on television since the season finale of Fox’s hit drama “House” on May 29 logged 17.26 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.Īdditionally, “Musical 2” ranked as the most-watched TV telecast ever in kids 6-11 (6.1 million) as well as the most-watched entertainment telecast ever (and the second-highest-rated overall, behind only the 2004 Super Bowl) among tweens 9-14 (5.9 million). “The entire team at Disney Channel, including Rich Ross, Gary Marsh and Michael Healy, deserve all the credit for helping to make television history.” “For months we’ve been asking kids ‘What time is it?’ and it’s exciting to finally get the answer … it’s time for record-breaking ratings,” said Anne Sweeney, co-chair of Disney Media Networks and president of Disney-ABC Television Group.
