    Dancing with the Stars’ Loses Big Audience as Soap Fans Switches Channels


    Tonight, is ABC’s biggest rating night. Tonight, the much
    anticipated “Dancing with the Stars” will air. Yet, thousands, if not
    millions of agitated soap fans will switching channels tonight. They
    will no longer be supporting ABC and watching “Dancing with the Stars”,
    no matter how much they may be rooting for Kirstie, Ralph, Hines, Chris
    or any other star dancer. See, they made a choice and they choose their
    soaps.
    ABC made a bad business decision last week. They cancelled two of
    their longest running daytime soaps: “One Life to Live” and “All My
    Children.” Now the fans are fighting back in every way possible. They
    are boycotting all ABC shows, except for the three soaps, “All My
    Children,” “One Life to Live,” and “General Hospital.”. They are
    talking to ABC sponsors. They are planning rallies outside of ABC
    studios. They mean business.
    No, this action is not something that they plan on doing for a day or
    a week. This is an action they plan on continuing until ABC comes to
    their senses. If this means giving up “Dancing with the Stars” and
    shows like “Desperate Housewives” then so be it.
    Actually, when you think about it, soap fans helped to make “Dancing
    with the Stars” a success. They were part of the audience that built
    the show into the gigantic TV rating house it is right now. Stars of
    the soaps were always featured on it. In fact, the first star to win
    the competition was a soap star. Do you remember Kelly Monaco from
    General Hospital? She was season’s one winner. What about Susan Lucci
    and Cameron Mathison? You know they helped to bring in viewers to the
    show. Plus, Rebecca Budig helped to bring in viewers to “Dancing with
    the Stars”, spin off “Skating with the Stars” and she won that
    competition. That proves just how much star power our soap stars have
    and how much voices our soap fans have.

    And Dancing is their *biggest* show. It was be super sweet karma if it took a hit because of the decision to cancel the soaps; talk about justice being poetic. And I bet that would be enough to get Frons expelled.

    I love Dancing With the Stars. But people can boycott if they like. There is a small window of time that it will make a difference, as ABC has to go on developing replacement shows, contracts, money (everything is all about money, not just TV but everything).

    And the soap stars and crew will be lining up other jobs too. If Dancing With the Stars is so impacted that it is cancelled, then I will watch something else.

    I think the size of the audience it will loose is way overestimated. Sorry but I just don't believe the 2 million people who watch OLTL are by and large watching any single primetime show enough to make a difference.

    I don't watch it to begin with but I hope that ABC suffers a huge drop in ratings in the coming weeks. I don't really watch too many ABC shows, anyway.
