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.

But they could always downgrade, couldn't they? Or is AT&T U-Verse the only cable provider that allows you to make changes to your package whenever you feel like it?

mine charges you if you downgrade if you have a specific package or if you drop that package.

That is stupid. People downgrade to save $$$$

I'd be surprised if ratings were lower than their other shoddy daytime programming. I do wonder what the offer was though--I mean how long or many episodes did they order? Just three weeks for their first option?

More people in Canada can watch on Itunes since FX Canada aint on all cable providers

Yeah but if you're locked into a deal they don't want you downgrading. If I downgrade what I have now I'd end up paying more than I already do

That shouldn't be their only option though. Not everyone is willing or able to pay $20 a month for two shows that only have 2 episodes a week.

To me that price is way too high for 2 episodes a week.

First: Still don't feel FX Canada was screwed in any way that we know of. They could have easily dropped that 2-hour block anywhere on their weekly schedule but chose not to, so yeah.

Second: If you were willing to pay for an expanded cable package to watch these shows, then $10 for 20 episodes (roughly 1 and a half months now) shouldn't be a problem for you.

I agree it shouldnt be the only option but it is the most widely accesible way for fans to watch in Canada

They could have put them on back to back on Sundays . Yeah I agree they could still air them but chose not to. Thats fine. but they aint no victim.

The multipass is for twenty episodes. I believe this has been posted several times. The multipass has actually become a much more affordable option because twenty episodes are now stretched across 1.5 months.

Aren't the "MORE" shows included in the 20 episodes?

Yes they are. U get 6.5 weeks for 20.00

They are, and that might lead to changes for the multipass option (given that 20 episodes would end in the middle of a week's worth of shows).

Unfortunately, yes. This price is the same for all iTunes users but it's definitely absurd.

So, if we have three episodes per week (two of the actual show, one "MORE"), and there are typically four weeks in a month, that's 12 episodes per month on average for each show. Which leaves eight episodes, or a little under three weeks, in the next month.

Too bad you can't have TWO pricing plans: one that includes "MORE," and one that doesn't.

Right. I edited my posts because I did my math wrong (whomp!).

No, I wasn't trying to show you up, AMS. I was trying to get it clear in my mind.

I'm with alexisfan: it seems absurd, but I don't think there's any way to cut out the "MORE" unless you watch on Hulu.
