Or OUAT can be moved to 9 pm. But I don’t think it would aire on that night. AI always aired either on Wednesday or Thursday.

When it was on Fox, yes. But Wed and Thurs don’t work for ABC because Wed is their comedy night (which is doing better than their dramas) and Thurs is Shondland (all of which has been renewed).
So that leaves Monday which has either the Bachelor/Bachelorette/ DWTS and takes up two hours.
Tuesday has the same issues with result nights from Monday.
Friday which is a big no no and has Shark Tank
Saturday which is an even bigger no no.
Or Sunday which is currently in need of major overhaul and revamp.

They could potentially reduce DWTS to Fall only, but then Idol would be competing directly against The Voice. That’s just suicide. Idol coming to ABC would scream Sundays, as far as I’m concerned. I see them doing Idol from 8-10, and a new drama at 10, as I doubt they’d air Idol from 9-11.

Agreed. Use New!Idol as a strong lead in for a drama they really want to promote and push.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"May 5, 2017 at 2:03 pm #337827MatthewPaulModeratorAccording to Variety, OUAT is “staying alive”:
ABC
Dead: “Notorious,” “Conviction”
Mostly Dead: “Imaginary Mary,” “The Catch,” “Secrets and Lies”
Staying Alive: “Once Upon A Time,” “American Housewife,” “Black-ish,” “Speechless,” “The Goldbergs,” “Fresh Off the Boat,” “Designated Survivor,” “Quantico”
Too Close to Call: “Agents of SHIELD,” “Dr. Ken,” “The Real O’Neals,” “Last Man Standing,” “American Crime”
Hasn’t Premiered Yet: “Downward Dog”“Once Upon A Time” is also a sure thing. Insiders say offers have already been made to the writing staff, which will be tasked with
taking the show in a new direction with the loss of some original characters in Season 7.
Granted, this still doesn’t mean an official decision has been made, and some of these are eyebrow raising. Really, they’re considering renewing Quantico? Variety has gotten things wrong in past predictions, too:

May 5, 2017 at 6:13 pm #337834MatthewPaulModeratorLooks like American Idol really is coming back, and they’re reportedly eyeing Sundays, as I suspected:

We’ll see what this means for OUAT.
May 5, 2017 at 8:20 pm #337835MichaelBlockedEither a short 13/15/17 episode final season to air in Fall/Winter or OUAT is being moved to a different day. I hope it’s the former TBH.

If they’re going to start a brand new storyline with different characters, I’d like to see there be at least 2 more seasons to flesh everything out. Otherwise, a truncated S7 is just going to feel like a tacked on, failed spin-off.
May 5, 2017 at 11:59 pm #337837MatthewPaulModeratorAlso expected to come back is veteran Once Upon a Time, which is in a process of closing deals with four cast members who would lead a planned reimagining, Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle and Colin O’Donoghue. The show also has been signing high-level writer-producers for next season.
If the latter means getting stronger writers, color me intrigued. The writing quality has far been the largest complaint about the show.
May 6, 2017 at 12:34 am #337838MichaelBlockedWhy do I get the feeling one of those people is JMO herself, to produce or direct in S7.
