Guiding Light cancelled?

[Q Steph]

I'm not sure if it's just a bad rumor going around, but I heard that Guiding Light was being cancelled on Monday. Alledgedly, Yahoo is the source of info. I checked, but I didn't see anything.

Anyone know anything?

Rumors have been flying for the longest time. It could be true though. We will just have to wait.

[Tishy]

I looked at a few places and there is nothing as of yet. I am not worried yet

CBS or P&G would have to be really cold to announce GL's cancellation the week of the 70th anniversary so I doubt it is true. Sounds like GL haters wishful thinking.

[SpiritualJunkie]

This would have been news circulating everywhere (at least, I hope) so I highly doubt that it's true.

Well it happened on AW's 35th, right? So who knows?

Yes, but CBS doesn't degrade their soaps like NBC did/does.

The announcement MADE last Monday? And announced this Monday?

I'm going to have to go with No. My source at GL would have found the time to tell me this in the past week.

Would I be wrong to say that I'm somewhat happy to see this?

Could be a good thing for DAYS...

I don't see how any soap being canceled benefits another. If anything, it causes much more worry for the industry as a whole.

Days isnt going to CBS. If it does go somewhere it would be ABC. Errol already mentioned this. Pay attention and you will learn something.

Yes. You'd be very wrong.

And you did ask.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I'm sorry, all this banter about Days going to CBS, at the expense of GL and ATWT is seriously pissing me off. Days loss would be a great loss to daytime, but it just doesn't compare to the history the P&G soaps have. CBS has too much class to dismiss it's two oldest daytime institutions, for a soap another network has already canned. Wishing cancellation on another show, just because you think it can benefit the show you love more is just shameful behavior.

I think the article is a fake, but anyway it also says that ATWT has been renewed until March 2009 and insiders say that is when ATWT will be cancelled to make room for DAYS.

Here is the link, again I think this is fake, looks like some made up username and made the arcitle.
