Would they really charge for repeats? Maybe they would depend on the ad revenue. Another World repeats are on YT and they have quite a few ads at the beginning and throughout the episode.

Wow, if it's just old episodes being released then e5028381.gif. But I would gladly watch, & pay for them if needed. Preferably would like to see some 80's/90's AMC, but 2000's episodes seem like the most likely bet. I, personally, would still watch, lol.

I couldn't make it through most of the 00's the first time...

I agree they probably wouldn't charge for repeats.

BTW those crazy fans are now angry at soap websites for the crime of reporting about the Post article for some reason. They think this is ABC's plan to trick them or something.....

I don't think its as simple as taking the cast and crew with them. You have to renegotiate new contracts for everyone. I don't even have

any idea what unions if any cover the production of online original content.

Beyond initial shock/guarded excitement, my first thought was how this transition would be handled by AFTRA, i.e., if these shows would be grandfathered under normal TV jurisdiction or if contracts would have to be renegotiated under New Media (e.g., Web Series) agreements. SAG and AFTRA share New Media jurisdiction (where there are no set union minimums which could potentially be a big problem when you start [!@#$%^&*] with people's money no matter how much they say they're team players), and say SAG offers AMC and One Life a sweeter deal than AFTRA and we have another B&B-type drama on our hands.

Some more from Richard

soapsindepthabc Soaps In Depth ABC The story on its face doesn't seem believable on many levels. For 1 thing, a yet-to-launch website, even with powerful backers, would not...

soapsindepthabc Soaps In Depth ABC ... be able to afford the costs associated with picking up two shows and continuing production of them. If I had to guess, I'd bet that...

soapsindepthabc Soaps In Depth ABC ... ABC agreed to sell the ARCHIVES and that it will be old episodes running. THAT seems far more believable.

soapsindepthabc Soaps In Depth ABC It's also worth noting that the NYPost story has NO sourcing. Oh, and it's the NYPost. Aka the Fox News of newspapers.

Speaking of that, Fox News Channel has put the Post story on their website now. :lol:

What kind of audience they are going to pull in with showing old episodes of soaps? Not appealing at all, they need new content. It doesn't exactly have to be AMC/OLTL just spinoffs based on a particular group of characters like OLTL's teen scene (I know they suck, just an example).

Of course they do. That makes the most sense down in the rabbit hole.

Today the part of ABC will be played by Elmer Fudd...

What do they expect the people at the soap sites to think? " Hey ABC you are not fooling me with your "New York Post" story it is clearly a trap" We should call them "Admiral Ackbar" soap fans.

I hope this is true. If true, I hope RC goes to GH as planned. I don't need anymore of his lazy writing and the Ford family being shoved down my throat.

How dare you! Admiral Ackbar served the rebels with distinction! A pox on you for sullying his name!
