The FX Canada website has removed everything AMC & OLTL related

Sad for Eric if they remove it from their schedule.

I can understand FX Canada being pissed but they could have at least made an announcement. Instead all trace of the shows was removed.

Perhaps it's only temporary? I see at least one day next week being devoted to a marathon of "The Americans."

I clicked on a link for AMC in today's schedule and got some message saying "Specified show does not exist," or whatever. Wow.

We Canadians have ways to watch that do not involve FX Canada ;)

Not surprised FX has pretended they never existed.... two half hour shows a week probably is not worth it when they could fetch more money syndicating a show five days a week.

Don't be a thief! PP needs all the money they can get. So move your ass to this side of the border.

I think they should air the episodes from 1975 and up on the off days for both shows and periodically have a caption on the screen like "This person doesn't look like Dorian as we know her. At this time she was played by Nancy Pinkerton". This could be a learning experience for both new audiences and new writers.

Basically, a "Afternoon to Remember" type thing.

The shows are up on iTunes Canada now also...so there is a legal way.

I hope that PP knew this would happen once they changed the airing schedule and took this into account when it came to money. If they thought FX Canada wouldn't balk and they expected that money, the people working at the shows could be totally screwed.

Folks, PP is doing something that has never been done so some slack needs to be given to the people who put their money (a lot) where their mouth is. Prospect Park, after looking at oodles of numbers and other information, decided to do what they did. There is no template, no formula for doing this. It is a new business model and as reactive information comes in they are tinkering with it to get it right. After some time passes they may go to three shows or four shows or perhaps even five. Or Sunday specials. Who knows? The numbers speak and adjustments are made or not made. Bottom line is viewership is great and we are taping like little devils in our Stamford home. Be patient, be supportive. Our shows are back.

Nelson's crap should be banned here

Why? If he just got off the phone with PP and has scoop, I want to know what it is.

I always believed, even if someone isn't a fan of all three or even two of them, they need to go together the same way GL/ATWT go together.

They all compliment each other plus they all had there share of crossovers since the 60s!!

if you want to get the feeling when you are with your hip sister you watch OLTL. if you want to get the feeling when you are with your adventurous brother you watch GH. If you want to get the feeling when you are with your down to earth and traditional grandmother and want to see how Agnes Nixon with her creations "Jesse and Angie" revolutionized the way the galaxy perceives African American individuals and liberated African American's across the globe you watch AMC.

I'm simple and less philosophical. !@#$%^&*] GH. Period.

LA Times story about what happened...

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-online-soap-producers-20130516,0,58427.story

(One comment for the paid views on iTunes I've seen bandied about is that if you order one show it is one price and if you get both there is a discount...That may get more people to buy both if they already are watching both...but are fans of one more than the other.)
