(FROM VARIETY) – Disney Channel's telepic Camp Rock, which stars the teen band the Jonas Brothers, scored big ratings in its debut on Friday night (June 20), attracting some 8.9 million viewers, making it cable's most-watched entertainment program of 2008. Those numbers are only about half of what the record-setting premiere of High School Musical 2 scored on Disney Channel last August (17.3 million), but they are larger than the first HSM, which opened in January 2006 (7.7 million), and make Camp Rock Disney Channel's No. 2 original movie to date.
