I wonder if these changes will be addressed on More AMC/OLTL

I really dont get that if its a money issue, and it is, to just air like seasons. 8 months a year straight. Then off for 4 or what not. Or on 4 off two on 4 off 2. Idiots.

I wonder if these changes will be addressed on More AMC/OLTL

Oh yeah at least we still get this drivel every week. So much eyeroll.

SID has another interview up about this situation...came once the news was released.

And then there is this, which sounds reasonable but I still don't like two a week.

They are only at least doing one more show instead of 2. That's a positive...

The cash flow must not be sustaining a 4 episodes a week business model. As a Corperate Strategist, I can tell you this does not sounds good.

Nellie Andreeva said that in the deadline article

With the new schedule, OLTL and AMC will produce about 110 episodes this year instead of the planned 168, which is expected to give writers more time to catch up on scripts and also provide more time for editing and post-production.

I think that this is correct. Editors/writers need time for scripts and post-production and maybe they cannot hire anymore editors/writing team due to bugetary constraints. This is some kind of bombshell, for sure.

So these shows will essentially be 1 hour dramas. I hope they can match the quality of a primetime one hour drama. There's no excuses anymore about having to fill so many hours a week and whatnot.

The Law of Economics is Supply and Demand. I want to know the numbers that they are basing decisions on.

How are the actors contracts set up? Are they paid per episode or is their pay set for the length of the contract?

People aren't watching like they watched it before. We should have expected this. We thought it'd be a lot...I don't know why, but our initial instinct was that people were going to watch them like they watched them on ABC. But the truth is they're watching them more like they watch shows on-line...

Ya think, genius? THEY ARE ONLINE SHOWS!

For me the thrill is gone. I can't get invested again now, but will continue watching them.

Do you think then deciding after three weeks to make such a change was a good strategy?

The actors are paid per day that they work not by episode, so if they tape 20 episodes or 5 in a day they get the same money.

As a Corperate Strategist,

Come on.
