Members DRW50 Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hasn't it been said that ABC would keep AMC because of it's "brand"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 It is a done deal. SOD said so in its Breaking News section a few days ago, I have no idea what will go down with the WGA though. That's what I keep hearing them say on those DC podcasts, but I really don't buy it. AMC may be a more known soap, but OLTL is pulling better demos, and isn't it still cheaper? I don't see how it couldn't be with AMC having just gotten new HWs, a bigger studio, and filming in HD.

Members MontyB Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I don't know if ABC said that. I think people assume. If they did say it, I would be cool if someone would post a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I don't really buy that either. Erica Kane is the true "brand" IMO........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JimTolkien Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I agree with this part of your post. Why is it that people think Y&R's demo 18-49 of 1.6 is good for them, it's not good and the network expects this to be higher, it used to be higher. With the influx of guest stars, supposedly great actors from previous soaps, MM the self-proclaimed, egotistical saviour of Y&R who increases ratings and viewership , why aren't the ratings/viewership going up by a large# and in a consistent manner. At this rate, someone is going to have unexpected trouble that they would rather not have to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I have acutally heard since AMC moved to L.A., AMC has been A LOT cheaper to produce and has saved ABC A LOT of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 From who exactly? I'm not saying you're lying or anything I was just wondering if you had a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'd like some solid information on the budget thing myself. We've been hearing for years how OLTL is under budget and AMC is expensive. I just wonder what the facts are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 Didn't they lose money because they didn't book the place they were supposed to store their sets or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 Daytime Confidential published a report on OLTL being the cheapest ABC soap in 2008. They also said that it was making the most profit, and some of their profits were being spent on AMC to help them out because they were overbudget and not making any money. I haven't heard anything on the subject since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think when both AMC and OLTL were in NY, AMC was the more expensive soap so it does make more sense to move AMC than OLTL. Now with AMC in LA and OLTL still in NY, I still think OLTL is cheaper but not by much. Would also like to see the budgets of these shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 Wait a second. Can we please stop with this nonsense about OLTL possibly being more well-known than AMC? Say what you want about the ratings, but come on, son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fanOLTL Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 "Well known" to who? Soap fans know both shows and those that don't watch daytime don't really matter. Most people don't know either show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
