I think Disney Channel has a problem. No, I don’t think it will cease to exist but I do believe that there will be a bit of a low coming along. They might have to get used to lower ratings and less viewers. Everyone knows that Hannah Montana was a big thing for them and that is ending but it’s not the only thing.

Hannah Montana is of course much more than the TV show, you just have to take a look around certain stores and you’ll know why. That won’t die down completely right away after the show of course but it will go down, there is no other way. There will be endless repeats no doubt as well but a network like the Disney Channel also needs new things to air. That’s where the problem is.

Jonas LA has already been canceled (though that show never managed to score big), Wizards of Waverly Place just started its last season and who knows what will happen to Sonny With a Chance. They don’t know how long Demi Lovato will be out of the running and that’s why they are considering to rework it. The idea of turning it more into a real So Random, meaning a sketch show is a bad idea, you just have to look at the Halloween episode to know that it is. The concept of not having the naming character on the show is an odd one anyway. (more…)
