Members dragonflies Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 Anyone think GH can survive as the lone ABC soap? IMO it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 Oh, OLTL fans. From the NY Times: OLTL didn't even get a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 I would care if ABC didn't stream their episodes online the day after. The ONLY reason I could see this being bad... if ABC ever wanted to move their lineup to SoapNet for good (original programming). Now we can only hope they don't decide to cancel.

Administrator Toups Posted May 26, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted May 26, 2010 LMAO. OLTL gets the shaft as usual. Not even the media respects OLTL. OLTL gone in 2011 - bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 As many of us have been clamoring about in the other thread, I really do hope Disney sells ABC and the network gets the chance to prove itself in new hands again. Disney and its affiliations have literally sucked the life out of that network for 15 years. So, Disney, please let ABC go free and sell the damn thing!

Members Sylph Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 Why wouldn't they? As we speak, they probably know when approximately the cancellation will occur. In OLTL's case, they probably know exactly. They're just devising what to replace them with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 [!@#$%^&*]! [!@#$%^&*] YOU ABC! This is ridiculous. This is how I watch DAYs 90 % of the time. And it's how I got into Ryan's Hope. UGH! And for a PRESCHOOL NETWORK? What a BITCH SLAP to Daytime.. Maybe soapnet will stay up as a website? Idk. UGH. Even though they didn't air hardly any soaps anymore, it was very useful especially where TIVO isnt in the way that you can get around the pre-emptions. And online viewing IMO sucks, because I dont want to watch tv on my computer...And if I hook my laptop up to my tv top watch it, it takes forever...I'm gonna miss SOAPnet. UGH. My summer viewing of All My Children is screwed now too. And WOW at ABC not even mentioning OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 Nope. Unlike DAYS/Y&R , it doesnt have a significant amount of viewers over the other soaps on the lineup. Once AMC is canned, GH will last at least another 6 months before it is canned. I do wonder if they will even survive once OLTL is canned, the ABC soaps have alot of crossover viewers who might drop AMC/GH is One Life is canned. Not to mention the gaping hole in the three hour block, a timeslot change for either AMC or GH will most likely be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 So Disney JR is trying to compete with Nick JR then? LOL I think Nick JR will wipe the floor with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 26, 2010 Members Share Posted May 26, 2010 Disney JR has existed in the UK for about 10 years, I believe. I wonder what took them this long to expand that channel into other territories. Although, it's called Playhouse Disney in the UK, but geared towards the same preschool audience.
