[The debut] of “HSM 2” on The Disney Channel drew an astounding 17.2 million viewers, making the program the most-watched basic cable telecast in history.
The ratings show kids and teens of all ages were tuned in to Friday’s premiere, earning “HSM 2” the record for the most-watched telecast of all time for kids in the 6-11 age group, and the 9-14 demographic.
It also became basic cable’s highest-rated movie ever, bumping TNT’s 2001 Western “Crossfire” from the record book.
While the original “High School Musical” also proved to be an overnight sensation for Disney when it bowed in 2006 (watched by 7.7 million viewers), the sequel eclipsed its predecessor by nearly 10 million viewers.
