What's On Antenna - ABC's New Line-Up

ABC is one of the most underrated channels on broadcast television. On your antenna TV, you can watch a plethora of unique and engaging shows on ABC that will keep you watching, even through the ads.

Dancing With the Stars, which streams live on ABC as well as on Disney+ and other streaming services, is one of the hottest shows to watch right now. Given the addition of two new professional dancers, Rylee Arnold and Ezra Soza, all eyes are on these new competitors as they fight to make a name for themselves on the esteemed show.

The recent “Soul Train” episode was notably the most watched and streamed episode of Dancing With the Stars in the history of the show, exemplifying what an electric season this is. This season’s stars include Olympic athletes Stephen Nederoscik and Ilona Maher, model Brooks Nader, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette stars Joey Graziadei and Jenn Tran, ex-con artist Anna Delvey, and Disney star Chandler Kinney, among others. This star-studded season is jam-packed with steamy showmances, disastrous attitudes, and buckets of unexpected talent.

The most recent episode went viral on social media, with fans outraged over guest judge Gene Simmons’ misogynistic comments and racially-biased scores, making contestants, professionals, and audience members alike incredibly uncomfortable. There have only been four episodes so far, but this season is already taking the entertainment world by storm, inciting meaningful conversations and bringing family and friends together to watch these stars become ballroom dancers.

You can catch new episodes of Dancing With the Stars every Tuesday at 8pm ET / 5pm PT on ABC, available on your antenna TV free of charge.

An exciting crossover during this season of Dancing with the Stars is that two of the contestants were stars back to back on the most recent seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

Also on ABC, a newer rendition of the Bachelor franchise, The Golden Bachelorette is airing on your antenna TV. The Golden Bachelorette centers around people over fifty who are looking for love. This spinoff of The Bachelor aims to present a more mature perspective on dating, focusing on deeper conversations and meaningful connections rather than the typical drama often seen in younger iterations of the franchise. Contestants are typically in their sixties or seventies, which allows for themes such as family involvement.

Joan Vassos, the star of the current season, has even visited the live shows of Dancing With the Stars to support her fellow ex-Bachelor/Bachelorettes. The Golden Bachelorette is yet another show on ABC that can be on your antenna TV watch list.
