Members dawn9476 Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Apparently, it's true. According to AW posters the Soapnet board, AW will last air on Soapnet on April 6th but Soapnet still owns rights to the show and a decision about AW's fate with SN will be decided within the next week. They have talked to various people in SN's programing deparment who have confirmed this. The people from SN also said that they are receiving lots of calls regarding this. So call this number: 818-569-7500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Keep calling, it's the only way to keep the show on SN. If they get overwhelming amount of calls and letters then they'll have no choice but to keep it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 We're talking about Brian "we'll train the audience" Frons here. I'm disgusted but not surprised. I've been expecting these kinds of changes ever since he took over. I'm surprised it took this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brandeis Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 LOL! No doubt his current crop of ABC shows look weak in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Q Steph Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 They could easily do away with the endless repeats of 90210. I don't understand why a conglomerate would pay $$$ for the catalogue, exclusive rights and licensing to a syndicate but shelf it for two newbies shows like OC and one Tree Hill? I'm still mad that they never puchased Loving. SoapNet is nothing but a tool of ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 I dont even think they have to purchase Loving. That soap is owned by ABC. It amazes me that it or the The City have never aired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brandeis Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Not sure about this, but I don't think ABC ever owned loving. I believe it still belonged to Agnes' company while it aired. Maybe when they did buy it they morphed it into The City, but I'm not even sure of that. Both air regularly in other languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted March 24, 2007 Members Share Posted March 24, 2007 Didn't ABC purchase Loving from Agnes though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonesy Posted March 24, 2007 Members Share Posted March 24, 2007 A mod on the SOAPnet board posted the direct number we should call...818-569-3333. The other number will work, but you have to speak to an operator first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 24, 2007 Members Share Posted March 24, 2007 The best thing to do is write in IMO. Then they will have actual emails showing what people want. It seems like it would be easier to disregard phone calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RogerNewcomb Posted March 24, 2007 Members Share Posted March 24, 2007 Time is of the essence. I'm calling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted March 24, 2007 Members Share Posted March 24, 2007 I will call, email, whatever. This sucks. It's not only about AW although that is the worst but Melrose, Ryan's Hope, and PC all got screwed too so I am going to voice my displeasure about the schedule as a whole. Frons probably was worried about shows like AW making his shows look bad. Whatever the case, I plan on helping with the petitioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted March 24, 2007 Members Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thank you Rhiannon. I plan to get busy tomorrow. I'm not going to be mean or hateful, as hard as it is not to, but I think doing it respectfully will get their attention. I'm thinking of starting a petition too, for all the soaps screwed by Frons and shoved to either weekends or off the schedule completely. Does Frons really think OTH and OC will get good ratings in the early afternoon? I can understand the evening airings but the early afternoon slots are ridiculous.
