DWTS Ratings at Risk as Viewers Cancel Hulu Subscriptions
Viewers of Dancing With The Stars are making a statement by choosing to skip the show this season due to their feelings towards ABC, leading some to cancel their Hulu subscriptions since ABC owns the streaming service. The show is in its 34th season and celebrating its 20th anniversary, but some fans are opting to hear about the judges’ comments online rather than watch the show. This decision stems from ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live host, Jimmy Kimmel, after his comments regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The backlash from fans has cast a shadow over the new season, with some expressing disappointment and choosing to boycott the show altogether. Many are exploring alternatives, such as watching clips on YouTube or TikTok after the episodes air, to avoid supporting ABC directly. Some viewers are even canceling their Disney+ subscriptions, where DWTS is also available.
Despite the ongoing boycott, ABC is yet to address the situation or comment on the impact it may have on the show’s ratings. The program, which first airs on ABC before being available on streaming platforms like Hulu and Disney+, has faced a challenging start to its latest season. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how it will affect the show’s future success.
