Dancing with the Stars moving to Disney+

I get this is mostly about more NFL games on ABC but is Disney+ struggling for subscribers? Maybe they think this is the best way to get older people to subscribe.
"Dancing with the Stars has entertained fans for 16 years on ABC, and we are excited to bring this beloved show exclusively to Disney+ as the platform's first-ever live series," Kareem Daniel, chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, said in the release. "The show's broad appeal, as well as the overwhelming popularity of its Disney-themed competition nights, make Disney+ the perfect home for Dancing With the Stars while continuing to expand our demographic reach."
The change comes primarily from ABC's decision to air Monday Night Football games on the channel as well as new programming, reports Deadline, who first broke the news. How successful DWTS is on the streamer may prove there's a place on it for other ABC programs down the line.
"Dancing With the Stars has been a beloved staple on ABC for 30 seasons and brought so much joy to millions of viewers," said Dana Walden, chairman of entertainment at Walt Disney Television. "As we're significantly expanding our unscripted slate at ABC, this is a great opportunity to introduce this show to a whole new generation of fans on Disney+."
"The fact that our iconic global format Dancing With the Stars will now set the record as the first live series on Disney+ represents a major growth opportunity and a bold next step forward in the evolution of the franchise," added Valerie Bruce, general manager of BBC Studios and Los Angeles Productions. "This unprecedented move, combined with our two-season pick-up, is a testament to the proven power of Dancing With the Stars and a resounding vote of confidence from our great, supportive partners at Disney, showing how much they value and believe in the brand."
Dancing With the Stars ended its 30th season last November, with NBA star Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach winning the famed mirrorball.

No

Disney+ added 11.8 million new subscribers last quarter to reach 129.8 million subscribers, Disney announced as part of its Q1 2022 earnings release, and said it’s still on track to reach 230 to 260 million subscribers by 2024. The company’s quarter beat projections after only adding 2 million subscribers in the previous quarter.

Traditional Broadcast TV is dying. I cut the cord several years ago, but all of my entertainment needs are met with a combination of the major streaming services.
I'd say the only thing I'm really missing legally is Sports. That's a problem streaming hasn't figured out yet. Pretty much everything else you can access easily and legally for reasonable prices.

300K people reportedly just dropped Disney+ this week after their sick brainwashing agenda videos leaked.

Maybe it’s just a stale, shitty show and it’s time to put it out to pasture?

Tyra Banks killed the franchise.

Monday Night Football going to ABC makes me happy. They are going to snake the good games from NBC now with Buck/Aikman

There is zero evidence to this. Disney doesn't give those numbers out and no one has shown any survey or research that shows that this has happened.

How do they count subs with the update from December for HULU subscribers getting the package added automatically?

Not necessarily. ESPN got absolute garbage when they were doing MNF.

I'm old and don't watch Dancing with the Stars. I am guilty of watching In the Heat of the Night reruns.

How many of those subscribers are in on the free D+, ESPN+, Hulu package, if you have more than one Verizon phones, with bill pay set-up on ACH draft?

this move was made because of shite ratings.

Yes. shite ratings because of Tyra Banks and because so many of the "stars" they have are people nobody has even heard of. I mean if the crowd that watches is old, Tyra and some TikTok or You Tube social influencers aren't going to draw viewers.
