Members JaneAusten Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 This is not a government supported or funded entity like PBS or the BBC or Canadian Network is where the government actually supports the running of these networks. If they are out looking for investors for the production of these shows, obviously the government funding does not include that. And it kind of makes sense since they are looking to produce more content. I dont see the US government being an unlimited money train for PP any more than I expect them to give money to NBC to produce their shows.

Members John Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 Right. what I meant is maybe the Grant itself wont cover the total cost for TOLN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted November 8, 2011 Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 Jeez her daughter is adorable. That's such a sweet picture. A Bollywood movie?! Okay, I'm intrigued. I love Bollywood films so I'll be interested to see what this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted November 8, 2011 Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 We Love Soaps is attending some sort of press conference for OLTL today, you can look at their Twitter for some of the tweets. https://twitter.com/#!/WeLoveSoapsTV Big one I got out of it is that EA and KA seem to be moving to LA for pilot season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Unless they're doing a live-action version of "Super Friends" and EA and KA are playing the Wonder Twins, I doubt they'll have much success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Max Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 On the Mediadomain.com message boards, there is a poster by the name of Rosebud1. This poster recently wrote something (that I have copied below) that almost exactly sums up how I feel: The only thing I disagree with Rosebud1 on is that I'm not surprised that actors would sign on with PP (despite the fact that there are no guarantees of financing); in this economy, most of them have few other options.

Members marceline Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Max, I generally agree with everything in that post except...PP didn't announce anything at first. The news was leaked by the NY Post and IMO, prospect Park has been playing catch-up ever since. Whatever failings they have we can't pretend that PP dropped this info prematurely. They were forced.

Members Soapsuds Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Why do I get the feeling if this does go ahead only OLTL will go online with AMC left in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 If it happens, I agree that OLTL will launch first. Valentini is PP's Frons. It's pretty clear to me that his being in charge has been good for getting the OLTL actors to sign. But there's nothing to give the AMC folks any reason to give a [!@#$%^&*]. I don't mind that though. If OLTL is successful that will make it easier to pitch AMC to the actors and if it fails then the pain won't fall on the actors who already moved across the country to "save" their show.

Members John Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 I highly recommend people listen to Martha Byrne On Richard simm's Podcast where they discuss web shows and PP. Martha has great insights http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tuneintomorrow/2011/11/08/the-one-the-only-martha-byrne-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 At this point I think it's both or none. If the funds are there for OLTL they may be for AMC as well. Right now it sounds like neither will be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 9, 2011 Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 They will both be made but I say April Launch at the latest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
