Seattle Stars is a American Idol copycat from the local Seattle CBS station "KIRO TV" it's used as a filler because on the west coast the basketball games end around 9:00PM PT local time, so that means that all the local CBS stations are left with 2 hours of primetime programming with no shows to air, so KIRO TV decided to do it's own reality show and air it after basketball so they could still compete with the other networks in primetime.
Like I said this is only a filler program, once the basketball coverage on CBS ends Seattle Stars will be over, it may return next year when CBS has Basketball.
They have been doing this for about 3 years now, the program used to be called "Star Search: Seattle" remember that Star Search was a CBS American Idol type show which aired in the 50's and then returned in 2002/2003 to compete with American Idol, it started off strong and then flopped.
