Members Sylph Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Startling? I don't think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 $67.5 million decline in ad revenue over a 4 year period when other soaps haven't lost as much is pretty startling, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XxTaraXx Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 That's ridiculous. Talk about mismanaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Not if you see the way DOOL is managed. Mismanagement = loss. Plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 The profit for ABC soaps must be even more since they are owned and operated by ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 I wish I had 67.5 million dollars right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 I only need 6.75 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 With 9 soaps until recently, this means that the average soap earned about $100 million in ad revenue. Sounds great, eh? But that is less that $2 million/week. And these shows COST more than $2 million/week to make, right? That explains why we're in doom-and-gloom days. Or is my thinking wrong somehow?

Members DaytimeFan Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Y&R costs 1.25 million a week. So if Y&R earns the average (which it wouldn't since it's at the top of the ratings and does well in the demos) it easily clears a 750,000 a week profit. That's 39 million dollars in profit a year.

Members marlenafan Posted July 26, 2008 Members Share Posted July 26, 2008 Can someone explain that to me? why is DAYS still paying JER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2008 Apparently JER had an iron clad multi-year contract with DAYS and he was fired before it expired. So, Corday has to pay him off the remainder of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
