Hannah Montana, #1 Show
According to Nielsen Media, Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana” was the most-watched TV program last week, attracting nearly 7 million viewers. Since its inception, “Hannah Montana” has been a widely popular program for kids and adults alike. Real-life father and daughter, Billie Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus, star in this comedy about a girl who lives a double live. The main character, Miley Stewart, is a normal teenager by day, and a famous pop singer, Hannah Montana, by night. Miley Stewart hides her true identity from the public with a simple hair color shift.
All DISH Network packages include the Disney Channel, ensuring that subscribers don’t miss the latest hit TV programming. “Hannah Montana” has quickly become a worldwide phenomenon. In April, “Hannah Montana: The Movie” was released in theaters and earned more than $17 million on its opening day, and $32 million on opening weekend.
