Members Chris B Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think if GH shows ANY ratings growth with the new regime, it's safe for the end of the year. Katie is as expensive as a soap and they'll be heavily promoting it and it needs a strong lead-in. If GH is pulling decent-good ratings and on budget they'll use it to launch Katie. Then once Katie is stable they can cancel GH next year. Unless they pull an NBC and just go with one soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 If GH does build up enough then perhaps they could just put it on hiatus for a few months until The Revolution's contract ends. Then they could put GH in The Revolution's timeslot (assuming they won't move Katie). I just wonder what the level is before ABC says enough with The Revolution. It's stopped bottoming out hasn't it?

Members Scotty Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 Here's a few more numbers to throw out at you. A lot of it is the same as the press release linked above. But I think this part is new: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/the-talk-ratings-revolution-view-286710 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sounds like they're more than a little desperate over there at ABC these days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 Amen! Demise of the soaps saddens loyal viewer http://blog.syracuse...saddens_lo.html And, perhaps at little funny, lol... http://www.omaha.com/article/20120202/NEWS01/302039998/1041 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 Do they know the show started in 1968? Anyway, is it a common practice to pay audience members? Doesn't this kind of fly in the face of "it's so cheap"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 It is not. I can hear in my head years and years' worth of free ticket bumpers on talk shows. This is essentially casting extras under the guise of audience members. And they need to drop the pretense of fresh faces and just go with whoever is willing to show up. I've noticed people in The People's Court who've sat in for a few tapings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yeah free tickets are the common practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 What does it say that they can't get people to show up? Do you think people who go to the taping have a bad experience? Does the warmup person sucker punch them or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 Maybe Mario Batali comes over to cross promote. And by cross promote, I mean get naked. That would drive anyone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
