ABC Radio launched "Dancing with the Stars" Radio for the first time ever, giving listeners an "interactive audio experience and unlimited access to the dance floor, whenever and wherever," according to the station.
"We're adding a new dimension to the Dancing with the Stars experience by offering on demand, digital audio content that compliments the viewing experience and increases engagement between the audience and the cast," said Steve Jones, Vice President and General Manager of ABC News Radio. "When television programming stops, fans can hear highlights, interviews and behind-the-scenes conversation that the camera cannot always capture."
"Dancing with the Stars" Radio is available everywhere Slacker Radio is accessible, including on smartphones, iPads and even on the web.
The two-hour season premiere of "DWTS: All-Stars" airs on Sept. 24 at 8:00 p.m. ET, followed by a new live show, "After Party: Dancing with the Stars." The premiere plus the follow-up show will be available for viewing the next day on www.ABC.com/DancingWithTheStars.
The stars returning for another shot at the coveted mirror-ball trophy include Bristol Palin, Drew Lachey, Shawn Johnson and Joey Fatone. Palin, Emmitt Smith and Kristie Alley will be pairing up with their original professional dancing partners.
Cheryl Burke has won two "DWTS" trophies and three of her past partners will be competing in the new season. One of her former partners, Drew Lachey, is returning for the new season but has no qualms about bringing home another mirror-ball trophy, according to the NY Daily News. He was on the show six years prior and won the competition alongside Burke in the show's second season.
"My life has done a complete 180 since I last did the show. I mean, my wife was pregnant with my first child and we were living in L.A. at the time, and now I have two kids and we live in Ohio," he said. "So my life and my perspective and my priorities have completely shifted since the last time I was on the show."
