I will no longer watch or support this show until they bring the live orchestra back. Live music isn't something we should be taking lightly, to be brushed off as a line item to save money. We are only cheating our children and your viewers, as well as insulting the youth demographic, by saying that this is what they would prefer!!

I will stop watching if the music is canned.

This is a pure example of greed!!! Having a live band was what made the show worth watching!!

the live musicians give the show part of it's LIVE aspect. Canned music will make it ordinary.

I love the live music and musicians. Please keep them in DWTS. I didn't like the changes you made last season either. I love the show but if you keep making these bad decisions for greed, I will stop watching!!

Instead of changing the times and going with a trend, be a trend setter and leader. Not a show or producer that folds under pressure.

Live Musicians are always a MUST with a show like DWTS! Support the Arts and Artists in this world forever!

If producers want a younger crowd, then start a new show for younger viewers. One of the reason this show is so popular is because viewers want to see celebrities who have been out of the limelight make a comeback. What would be great is to see past musicians and singers make their comeback as well by playing with the band: George Benson, Neil Diamond

Attract newer younger viewers and lose older loyal viewers? Why break something that is working. You are moving away from a dance competition to a variety show. Who are you fooling

I will no longer be watching DWTS. I only watched to hear Antonio Sol & the band!

Why not reduce this show to an electronic boring one. Why provide musicians with reasonable livlihoods when you can pay rappers etc., their royalities instead. Make the rich richer, and make all tv a stream of pablum for whoever keeps watching. We are your demographic, and we will quit watching (all 4 of us in my family!)

The people I know (myself included) watch DWTS mainly to listen to the big band. Won't make any sense to keep watching the show without them.

Boneheaded move. Why throw out something that was working so well? Reminds me of New Coke.

The Orchestra is the best and makes the show!
