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

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.

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.

wow I cant beleive its true. This is so f-ed up bc its not like they dont have the space. It only airs once a day for one hour

LOL! No doubt his current crop of ABC shows look weak in comparison.

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.

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

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.

Didn't ABC purchase Loving from Agnes though?

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.

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.

Time is of the essence. I'm calling in.

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.

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.
