On Friday May 17, both All My Children and One Life to Live were completely removed from the schedule and from FXC's website and replaced with re-runs of 30 Rock. This comes just one day after PP announced both shows are being cut to just two episodes per week. Fans here are not too happy. FX Canada was the ONLY place in Canada to watch the two soaps, as they are not available online here. No word yet from either FX Canada or PP.

For once, I'm inclined to agree. I'm tired of drama. I'd rather wait until tomorrow and see what happens.

 

TA, and just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is a holiday here in Canada and FXC has been advertising for the last month a marathon of The Americans, so this weeks scheduling would have been off regardless of PP's announcement.

I'm honestly finding myself slightly relieved at the scheduling change at the moment.

I have a shitload of work next week and only having to keep track of one of the two shows per day is going to ease my time management.

No-[!@#$%^&*]-body has any clue of what's going on, so let's please stop acting like we do!

No one has any idea what's going on, yes, and that alone is a sign of poor communication. It's not acting like we know what is happening to call that out.

Yeah that's the problem and that PP has no idea what's going on with FX Canada is not good.

Since PP has a deal with FX Canada, they must inform PP before they pull the shows

While this is ultimately PP's fault FX Canada has handled this situation horribly.

I don't care for someone like myself who already had the channel. But it makes me really angry when I think about my mom, who switched to a more expensive cable package so she could have access to FX Canada to watch AMC. When she posted a polite query on their Facebook page yesterday about what was going on her question was deleted (along with all the other AMC/OLTL questions). They can make whatever programming choices they want but at least treat your customers with some decency.

But FX Canada is Rogers and Rogers' customer service is crap.

While I don't wanna be too hopeful--AMC/OLTL are listed on my guide for the week of May 27. This doesn't explain why they've been removed from the website, unless they are slowly working on a new page--maybe with the schedule change they want to air them every second week?

In the meantime I did pick up a 20 dollar iTunes card...

...And there you have it.

I just dont get why they wont air them though. They could air both eps of AMC on Wed & Both of OLTL on Thursday

LOL the Canadians get screwed and have to pay, given this is THEIR ONLY outlet for these shows and it's not worth ten dollars a month for and clearly PP didn't tell FX given PP had NO idea what was going on with FX Canada in regards to AMC & OLTl

I dont see why they cat air the shows twice a week even back o back on two seperate days

There are still AMC & OLTL episodes to air. FX Canada could air them. They decided not to. It was their decision. FX Canada is no victim here.

You literally just said that.

They probably want something to fill that hour most of the week, not two times a week.
