Members Llantano Incorporated Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Multi year contract for new headwriter, yes, the AMC -name- thing, Susan Lucci, the LA move, HD... OLTL will lose this battle. It would need GH level demos to survive. Unless ABC truly cares about this "OLTL coming out best in their marketing research" stuff (which may not even be true, this was another Jamey Giddens thing) And this stuff about OLTL moving to 1 pm after AMC is cancelled is intriguing, but its never gonna happen.

Members dragonflies Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Multi year contracts mean diddlly, and AMC's core audience is GONE, even LB isn't gonna bring them back. AMC has had the worst demos the longest, it's been like a year they have basically stayed dead last in the 18-49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 If Lucci was all that ..fans would still be watching..and apparently they havent. You're lucky I am not in charge of ABC..cause I would have cancelled AMC first before OLTL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 AMC had a very highly promoted week last week with Angie giving birth and the ratings did not go up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 What are the soap fans going to do?? Stop watching their lineup?? They have already...I dont buy the backlash ....btw..nice to see you posting more again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 They don't want a repeat of what happened when they fired Becky Herbst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Llantano Incorporated Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 All these AMC actors with their little announcements about cast meetings, ect.. Susan announcing that Finance congratulated AMC, that her schedule is full for two years, the book, the booktour... Susan will look like a clueless fool if AMC is cancelled and ABC will look like the devil. I find it odd how -silent- everyone from OLTL is. At this point ABC HAS to cancel OLTL first, it will be a PR disaster otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yes, and so many more watch OLTL. LOL I don't think anything is coming this week. But I'm beyond caring. Just do it and get it over with or not...whatever will be will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Haven't they been telling us that an announcement is coming this week, every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 They already made Susan look like a fool when they moved to LA and she didnt know about it....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kitty1 Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 I actually think it would be a PR disaster to cancel OLTL first. I know ratings fluxuate from week to week, but last week OLTL demos were .2 higher than AMC. How do you justify cancelling OLTL over AMC? ABC has advertisers that they have to answer to, it isn't just about playing favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Llantano Incorporated Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Well in OLTL's defense, the difference between AMC and OLTL in the ratings is generally getting larger.. But all I have to say is I hope that AMC's ratings are up and that all of the AMC fans will be raving about AMC in 6 months time when OLTL has been ditched. I don't want to see that OLTL was cancelled just to hear that AMC is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 LOL, I know. They're a blip above AMC in the demos, and are usually essentially tied in the HHs. Being in 3rd place vs. last place when there's a negligible, probably statistically insignificant, difference between the numbers for both shows, is nothing to brag about. I can imagine there are other factors involved in the decision to cancel a long-running show. At this point, it's anybody's ball game, though for me, the Howarth rehiring trumps the Broderick rehiring in terms of which show will be the one to survive.

Members Marley Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 I wouldn't say that AMC highly promoted that storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Looks like the rumors do NOT have people tuning in. I don't see there being any backlash, why isn't there now with the rumors going around? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
