Dancing for a Dream brings dream ratings for Univision

“Televisa’s reality competition Bailando por un Sueño (Dancing for a Dream) has turned out to be Univision’s ratings dream come true.

Averaging 5 million Hispanic viewers, this program, whose second season premiered Sunday on WLTV-Ch. 23, achieved the impossible: It bumped prime-time telenovelas from the top of the Nielsen Hispanic TV Index charts. Measured nationally, the show is just as successful. For several straight weeks, Bailando — a show similar to ABC’s Dancing With the Stars — ranked third in its time slot behind Fox and ABC, according to Nielsen figures released by the network.”
