Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...8545160b1da1bb0 I guess if they're creating a new executive position and restructuring their daytime division, CBS appears to be more dedicated to soaps than its competitors. Although most of these soaps aren't what they use to be, but it shows network loyalty to the genre IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skiman12082004 Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 I agree with you. I think this is definitely a vote of confidence for daytime. In his warped way I think BF feels he is doing what is best for ABCD as well. As for NBC its pathetic what their daytime division has become.

Members YRBB Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 Thank you for posting this. Yes, I think it's good that they are doing this. It shows interest in the soaps--now if only they fix them also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmchyc Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've definitely heard more about ABC soaps (AMC specifically) than CBS soaps, even if the latter is of a higher quality (IMO). Well, except for OLTL. But CBS doesn't have the daytime programming like "The View" to promote it as extensively. And Soapnet is owned by Disney so of course it's going to give plugs all up and down for ABC shows. I can't wait to see how this lady's gonna promote CBS.

Members DaytimeFan Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 This is certainly a vote of confidence in daytime at CBS. Also, it appears that CBS is committed to marketing and making the most money it possibly can from its soaps. There appears to be a more comprehensive approach to daytime programming at CBS which I find commendable. ABC is a farce and I'll say this for NBC: at least they don't pretend to give a damn.

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 That's great news. It shows CBS still cares and doesn't want their soaps to die out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 I hope the first thing Ms. Newman do is tell them they have to hire new writers that can help bring them in the 21st century & stop writing stupid crap like everybody wants to see a young stupid girl & pregnance. I'm talking about You Y&R & OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 CBS should be committed to it's soaps, they GAINED viewers in the last year, while ABC lost over a million in that same year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 I agree with you about OLTL.....that story is old news. Now if they had done it back in the '70s around the time of Roe v. Wade it would have created much more of a stir, but now...who cares? I don't. Honestly though, I think the story would be much more interesting if Cardboard Cole weren't involved. The poor boy couldn't show genuine emotion if you ran over his foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoseVioletDaisy Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 Could this, please dear God, be sign that CBS is going to attempt to either force PGP to turn ATWT and GL around or try to buy them outright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
