Dancing with the Stars is a Logie Award-winning Australian light entertainment reality show that airs on the Seven Network and is shot live at Melbourne's HSV-7 studios. The show is based on the BBC Television series Strictly Come Dancing in the United Kingdom and is part of BBC Worldwide's international Dancing with the Stars franchise. The show launched for a limited time from October to November 2004, then returned in February 2005. Seven Network has renewed the show for a ninth season. The show is a ratings success, averaging around 2 million viewers per week during its height, putting it at the top of the day's ratings. The show matches celebrities with professional ballroom dancers, who compete in a dance-off each week to impress a panel of judges and, ultimately, the viewing audience in order to avoid elimination. Viewers vote for the couple they believe should remain in the competition via phone and SMS voting. When deciding which couple is eliminated, the judges' scores are mixed with the viewer votes. The thirteenth season will be hosted by Daniel MacPherson and Edwina Bartholomew in 2013. The logo for Dancing with the Stars' first seven series is identical to the emblem for Strictly Come Dancing. The logo for the eighth and subsequent series is similar to that of the US edition of Dancing with the Stars.
