Does anyone know if PBS will be running this show again. They did not last year and the website has not been updated since 2009. It was such a great show, did it get cancelled?
Thanks

As I understand it, the taping of the show is paid for by the organizers of the Ohio Star ball. The main ballroom was under renovation last year & they didn't pay to have it taped.

Haven't heard if they'll do it this year or not.

Thanks for your response.

Here is part of a response I got when I emailed pbs about continuing the show:

Thank you for your interest in WGBH. We always appreciate hearing from our viewers, listeners, and Web site visitors.


In response to your email, we have no immediate plans to produce an America's Ballroom Challenge series as in past years. In the meantime, though, we will be sure to relay your request to see more episodes produced.


I really think this show did alot to promote the sport and showcase its best dancers.

I would like to challenge everyone in the US who feels as I do to contact feedback@wgbh.com, and possibly the organizers of the ohio star ball and see if this show can be brought back.

What do you all think.
