Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) is a reality television competition in which celebrities and professional dance partners compete in various choreographed dances. The show is currently airing its 34th season, with live episodes broadcast on ABC and Disney+.
The search spike was due to the live broadcast of the Week 8 episode—'Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night'—on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. Searches were particularly high for 'where to watch' because a contract dispute caused YouTube TV to temporarily remove all Disney-owned channels, blocking subscribers from accessing the live ABC broadcast and forcing them to seek alternative viewing options.
Viewer interest was focused on the competition, which saw the eight remaining couples perform themed routines, and the guest judge, Flavor Flav. The YouTube TV blackout was met with significant frustration by subscribers who rely on the platform to watch and vote live, forcing many to consider other streaming services or the Disney+ simulcast.
