History of Disney Channel
In 2003, Disney Channel premiered its first ever made-for-cable movie musical, "The Cheetah Girls", which received a worldwide audience of 84 million viewers. In 2005, "That's So Raven" (which debuted in January 2003) became the channel's highest-rated series since its transition to basic cable as well as becoming the first original series to run longer than 65 episodes – breaking a highly controversial rule that was implemented in 1998, aimed at limiting increases in production costs for its original programming (the 65-episode rule is no longer enforced, although most series are now usually discontinued after their fourth season at maximum) – "Raven" eventually became the channel's longest-running original series at 100 episodes and the first to spawn a spin-off series ("Cory in the House"). "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" made its debut in March 2005, and also became a hit for the channel.
