I've heared mixed things over the years about Disney/ABC. What are your thoughts if this is true.

If it would lead to the removal of American Idol Experiance from the studios, I am all for it !

So far as I know it's still under the Fox group. Not sure don't quote me. But either way I doubt they'd remove it so soon after being built. Unfortunately they are still pulling big numbers.

It's karoke without the alcohol people.

If you're the designated driver, then Karaoke doesn't involve alcohol either...

Guess well see. I'm assuming numbers are down on shows?

What would this mean to Disney? Besides ABC Comessary (think I spelled it wrong) being changed out and a lot of merchandise being removed from DMGM.

Disney owns ABC

Idol is owned by FOX

What the H*ll is Idol doing at Disney?

What is against the law? Having karoke without alcohol? I know it is.

I guess technically you could load up at the tune in the go to AIE and try out.

Fox does not own AI. AI is a production of Fremantle Media and 19 Entertainment. Fox purchases the show to air it, but it's not network produced or owned.

ABC is a thorn in WDTC's side right now. Mostly because its programming is pitiful (but that's cyclical with all networks really) and advertising is hurt by both the economy and the low ratings, not to mention companies that ABC News alienates. ABC affiliates are also upset with the company because ESPN has taken away much of their sports coverage (which was produced by ESPN anyway) and are also concerned about life after Oprah since most stations that carry Oprah are ABC affiliates. However, considering Oprah routinely gets her butt kicked by Judge Judy, it's not such a huge deal anymore.

Disney has since denied the reports that any such talks are in place anyway.
