Members cody_1990 Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 I am seeing this name at the end of Guiding Light now, don't know about ATWT. Did P&G sell their soaps to this company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 I was going to post this very topic two days ago when it began. I have no idea who telenext media is. ATWT also has the logo now. It's not P&G anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 I don't watch the CBS soaps, but I looked it up and came across this little blurb in a Boston Globe article from April 27th of this year..... Networks certainly have a reason to make their programs look and feel more like a reality TV show. Research shows that audiences found the programs' look outdated, said Brian T. Cahill, senior vice president and managing director of TeleNext Media Inc., which manages "Guiding Light" and "As The World Turns" for Procter & Gamble's P&G Productions, owner of the shows.

Members MarkH Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 Wasn't P&G's soap/TV arm for a time called "Televest"? It seems like "TeleNext" is an iteration on that. I'm not able to find more info on either name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 The PGP board is now the telenext media board, so it looks like P&G are pretty much trying to get away from being associated with soaps or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 Why not sell the shows to CBS if they want out? grrrrrrrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 seems just like a management co. hopefully thats what it is because they sure do need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 Producing, especially a daily show is no P&G core business: dismantling the production unit via outsorcing seems to be the first step of either shutting the whole shop down or more likely selling it... Maybe Sony will acquire Telenext? Don't see CBS suddenly going after them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 I was wondering about this as well. I don't really know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yeah, TeleNext IS TeleVest, just a new name. And it's existed for years, back before Ed Trach. It's just the name of the P&G Productions subsidiary that employs the P.R. people, the H.R. people, payroll, etc. It's who MADD used to work for. The employees of the show are paid under TeleVest/Next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
