Members Max Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 Edgeofnik, you know the way it works: the unions' salary/benefit demands are never unreasonable, and anyone who opposes them is just greedy. When the NJ governor (whose very obese) asked unionzed teachers to forgo a raise for one year (in exchange for no layoffs of non-tenured teachers), he was immediately classified as somebody who hates teachers and kids; one union leader (who still remains in his job) actually wished him dead.

Webmaster Errol Posted November 23, 2011 Webmaster Share Posted November 23, 2011 I agree with this. It isn't one thing that made this happen, it is a combination of things. Currently still assessing the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 I really don't think it's a coincidence they waited till OLTL wrapped filming to drop this news........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members proteus Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 I want to see what Errol says. It's Thanksgiving & I am beyond upset right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 PP said that ti's over, I don't know what more confirmation one needs than from the horse's mouth themselves(so to speak) MarthaByrne10 Martha Byrne So sorry for AMC and OLTL fans. So much to say, but I want to hear all the details before I comment. If anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 This is not the fault of the unions. Prospect Park was unable to raise the money. Dont blame the unions for trying to protect their members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 They probably paid a lot of money for having the rights for 10 years. Since they have the rights, I can't see them doing nothing ever with those rights. Maybe they'll do a mini-series spinoff or something at some point? I mean, I can't see AMC or OLTL in their current forms continuing, but I doubt PP will totally waste the rights they paid for. Still I'd like to see what Errol says as well, just giving my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 My guess was at the time they maybe did not understand the magnitude of it. I still dont think AMCs ending was bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 It's like when alot of networks acquire rights to shows for a period of time, it really doesn't mean much for PP to have the rights for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted November 23, 2011 Webmaster Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm looking into the matter as "it ain't over until the fat lady sings." While I understand this may be the end of the online plans for now (keyword is suspended), that doesn't mean the story ends with the press release.
