Members John Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 Affiliates dont decide that. If they did they wouldnt have aired the chew and the revolution. If GMA doers well waiting til January wouldnt be that big of a wait. Wendy Williams had a try out then waited a season to return. If GMA does well, GH will be off by early January 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 Except the original article posted in this thread illuded to ABC giving the affiliates an option. It's the exact situation that happened with SB on NBC. As for affiliates stations not having input that's not really accurate. They were the ones that were primarily responsible for Lenos cancellation at 10:00 on NBC. And none of the shows since airing at 10:00pm on NBC have performed any better since.

Members John Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 That Original article is based on stuff from Dayime Dish which is not reliable & even the writer of tyhe article says its a rumor & someone on a message board could have just made it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 You might be right. The affiliates do have some power. They are the ones who decided to air GL at 10:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. There is no reason that they cannot do the same with GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 Would ABC want to produce both GMAiTA & GH Though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 I tell people over and over Anne Sweeney wants #GH gone and she will die trying. Some want to believe Cartini were brought in to save GH. Lol. Its fitting because I'd only trust them with a corpse as well. ANDREA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CCCapwell Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 I agree, thats exactly what could be happening. Another option is the secret cancelation...... Thats what happened with SUBE, NBC privately told the affiliates SUBE would be canceled in Dec 1999 so when the new tv season began in Sept 99 many affiliates dropped it or aired it at 3am since they knew NBC was dropping it, NBC waited until Oct to announce its cancelation. They told the affiliates this when they had their spring meeting, BEFORE Passions premiered, so as an insurance policy in case PSSNS was a huge ratings disaster they waited off on an official decision, although the plan all along was to drop SUBE in Dec, could be the same deal here, ABC tells the affiliates they are planning on GMA-PM and if its a success its staying at 2pm and they can find another slot for GH when they keep it on for a few more months to end things much like SUBE.

Members JaneAusten Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 I don't believe Anne Sweeney cares that much other than wanting the network to perform better financially. I'm not sure why anyone believes ABC wants soaps saved. Heck there are rumors that Y&R is having financial problems and Days has for years. Valentini was hired likely because he ran OLTL under budget and might be trying to get the show to perform better to attract a buyer who knows. But as we saw no one wanted the fantastically performing OLTL other than a shady company with no expertise producing daily serial dramas, could not raise the funding needed, and believed the soaps cost no more than judge Judy to produce.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 ABC already gave the affiliates back the time slot. I know for a fact(via a friend) some parts of Conneticut dropped GH already for local programming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 Who employs that Twitter idiot from SID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 The person from SID that tweets for the magazine works there and has for years. I can understand why they don't want people to watch GAA as if that works they and others at their magazine are out of work or the magazine goes bye bye.

Members marceline Posted May 22, 2012 Members Share Posted May 22, 2012 Those are some really pathetic tweets. I'm embarrassed for him. I thought the AMC/OLTL mourning was bad but I think the GH death march is going to be the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
