As Dancing With The Stars Season 34 approaches the final stretch, only four weeks remain until the coveted Mirrorball Trophy is awarded. However, a potential snag might affect viewership tonight due to ongoing tense negotiations between Disney and YouTube.
This week, the star-studded lineup, including Alix Earle, Robert Irwin, Whitney Leavitt, Dylan Efron, Andy Richter, Elaine Hendrix, Danielle Fishel, and Jordan Chiles, will pay tribute to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their performances will feature legendary rock tracks from artists like Bon Jovi and The White Stripes, among others. Following the recent elimination of Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck, the competition is intensifying.
Disney is still in discussions with YouTube over the streaming rights for its networks on YouTube TV, which includes ABC, the broadcaster of Dancing With The Stars.
In response, ABC has encouraged fans to influence the negotiations by reaching out to YouTube, urging them to reinstate their favorite networks.
Despite these challenges, fans still have several options to catch tonight’s episode of Dancing With The Stars. Here’s what you need to know to ensure you don’t miss the action.
How To Watch Dancing With The Stars without YouTube TV:
New episodes of Dancing With The Stars air Tuesdays at 8/7c. If you have a cable login, you can stream Dancing With The Stars live on ABC, the ABC website, or Disney+.
You can also watch DWTS live with an active subscription to fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, DIRECTV, or Sling TV. FuboTV, DIRECTV, and Hulu + Live TV offer free trials for new subscribers.
Viewers will not be able to stream Dancing With The Stars on YouTube TV this week.
Disney+ offers a number of subscription options, so you can find the one that works for you. With ads, a subscription costs $10.99/month; without ads, it’s $18.99/month or $189.99/year.
There are also Disney+ bundles with Hulu, Max, and ESPN+, so you can subscribe to up to three services at once and save over 40% every month. The bundles are available in a few different configurations, starting at $12.99/month for Disney+ and Hulu with ads, and going up to $32.99/month for Disney+, Hulu, and Max ad-free.
It remains to be seen when Disney’s negotiations with YouTube will finally come to an end.
But several Disney-owned networks have been impacted, including ESPN, FX, National Geographic and more.
