High School Musical 2: Disney beats NFL with Most Watched Cable Event Ever


17.2 million viewers watched the Disney special “High School Musical 2″ this Friday, making it the most watch ever broadcast on basic cable. The previous record holder was the debut of “Monday Night Football” on ESPN in 2006 at 16 million veiwers.

And if you think that’s the only record it broke, think again.

1. The Disney Channel made-for-television movie “HSM” brought in the largest single audience in basic-cable television history.

2. It is also became the most watched movie to be shown on basic cable, previously held by TNT western “Crossfire Trail” at 15.5 million viewers in 2001.
