Members Jonathan Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 We discussed this on another thread a while back. I think it definitely affects the soaps. If they pull The View from the network and move it to syndication, then ABC will have room for Aisha Tyler leaving the soaps untouched, as long as they perform steadily.

Members Ann_SS Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Moving The View into Oprah's slot is a desperation move, but ABC has to do something. Oprah airs after GH in the major northeast media markets. Without Oprah, GH's 18 to 49 women demos would likely collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 HORRIBLE idea. I think the View works at its 11 AM timeslot. That is perfect for it and it should stay there. I dont think it should appear later in the day. I dont see why ABC would get rid of it and let it go into syndication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 It would serve ABC right, though, for their demos to collapse, after all the years of bonehead decisions they've subjected their audiences to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Some scenarios for LA where Oprah airs on ABC: Current 10am - The View 11am - Local News 12pm - AMC 1pm - OLTL 2pm - GH 3pm - Oprah Option 1 10am - New Talk Show (Aisha Tyler?) 11am - Local News 12pm - AMC 1pm - OLTL 2pm - GH 3pm - The View Option 2 10am - New Talk Show (Aisha Tyler?) 11am - Local News 12pm - GH 1pm - AMC 2pm - OLTL 3pm - The View Option 3 10am - Local News 11am - New Talk Show (Aisha Tyler?) 12pm - AMC 1pm - OLTL 2pm - GH 3pm - The View Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Would this mean one ABC soap would be cancelled to accomodate this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 I agree with Cheap. The View works in that timeslot. And with Bloom possibly shuffling The Price is Right to ATWT's timeslot in September, it makes more sense to me to keep the show there so they can dominate their lead. And if they moved to a later timeslot, would "The View" still be live or taped? I could see affiliates, who are comfortable with The View being at 11/10CST airing it in the same timeslot with a day delay. And at that point, who wants to watch "old news?" I would definitely not want "The View" to be syndicated. That would be a nightmare and I think the ratings would plummet. But, on the other hand, affiliates would chomp at the bit for The View, already proven to be a ratings winner AND they would get more advertising dollars with it as a syndie package rather than a network show.

Members alexisfan07 Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 It certainly doesn't sound that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 This would literally kill the view and would for sure hurt all the ABC soaps. isnt oprah announcing who is going to take her place, after her show ends? I mean if she chooses someone to have a harpo produced talk show with the same syndication package...? Then NO ONE would be negatively impacted.

Members bellcurve Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think that timeslot is open season for affiliates at this point. I think stations are ready for a cheaper option and a direct Oprah successor would likely come with the same pricetag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 That's a good point. But I think if they do this, and move GH, it could potentially crush all three ABC soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 In some parts of the country(or at least the affiliates I've seen when I've traveled in the midwest/south) Oprah airs at 4PM, right before the 5PM newscast. GH wouldn't be affected with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Oprah airs at 4pm where I am too. I think I miss-spoke before. What I meant was that if they put it at THREE it would affect the GH lineup. This is the lineup in my area: ABC: 11-12: The View 12-1: Local News 1-2 PM AMC 2-3 OLTL 3-4 GH 4-5 OPRAH CBS: 1230-130 Y&R 130-2 B&B 2-3 ATWT (Im not sure if this varies or not though, from city to city. Isnt this the standard CBS lineup?) NBC: 1-2 DAYs So since oprah DOES air at 4 where I am, it wouldnt matter if The View moved to that timeslot, but if it moved to 3, then thats when it would mess things up (for everyone i think).
