Disney didn't use OUAT as a marketing ploy, A&E used Disney in an attempt to gain viewerships. The Frozen arc was clearly Disney's idea. Regardless, of who was at fault, it was a marketing ploy that backfired.

Everyone I know thinks, the American Idol reboot is the stupidest idea ever. Ugh. The American Idol thing. And Fox is pissed, they said they were going to bring it back in 2020 anyway, they just wanted a few years off, so it would be like a "relaunch" which I'm assuming they thought would bring viewers back. I won't be surprised with all the controversy if Fox pays ABC more to not air it and get the rights back and then just relaunches it in Fall 2018 or something. Well the reboot also has Kelly Ripa pretty nervous. I read that she thinks Ryan is gonna bail on Live with Kelly and Ryan, to host American Idol again.

Can't he do both? She's in NYC in the morning during the week, right? American Idol is at night and on Sundays, based on rumors. And I'd assume they would do it in LA, but I'm sure ABC has space in or near NYC, so maybe they can move it. Most of the judges will probably have property in NYC anyway. I think he can probably do both.
