Disney’s popular dancing competition show, “Dancing With The Stars”, continues to get even more popular as Disney has revealed some new viewership data from Nielsen for the semi-final, which was released on ABC and Disney+ earlier this week.

“Dancing with the Stars” is hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, the hit series pairs celebrities with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. The show is produced in front of a live audience by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions.

The semifinal episode was the top program of the night in Adults 18-49 (0.75 rating) and all key Women demos, including Women 18-34 (1.10 rating), Women 18-49 (1.04 rating) and Women 25-54 (1.27 rating).

The spectacular season 33 penultimate episode grew over the previous week’s 500th episode celebration in both Total Viewers (5.19 million vs. 5.13 million) and Adults 18-49 (0.75 rating vs. 0.71 rating), hitting a season high in Total Viewers.

In addition, the episode grew over last season’s semifinals (11/28/23) in both Total Viewers (5.19 million vs. 5.10 million) and Adults 18-49 (0.75 rating vs. 0.64 rating).

Fan voting for the semifinals broke series records once again, with the show surpassing 20 million votes for the teams.

The season 33 finale of “Dancing with the Stars” airs live on Tuesday, 26th November 2024 at 8:00-11:00 p.m. EST/PST, 7:00-10:00 p.m. CST across both ABC and Disney+ in local time zones, and it will also be available the next day on Hulu.

Roger’s Take:  With the show being available both on Disney+ and ABC at the same time means that this show can reach a much broader audience, traditional linear viewers, along with cord-cutters.
