Members dragonflies Posted September 22, 2018 Members Share Posted September 22, 2018 I thought they didn't own the show, that Sony did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted September 22, 2018 Members Share Posted September 22, 2018 Seems like made up fan trash. The official Y&R credits still list Sony, The Bell Dramatic Serial Company, and Corday Productions are the show's production houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 22, 2018 Members Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yeah if this were true we'd be reading about it on social media for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted September 22, 2018 Members Share Posted September 22, 2018 Also, if the Bells sell their shares to anyone, it would be Sony. And why the hell hasn't either party bought out the Corday interest yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mikelyons Posted September 22, 2018 Members Share Posted September 22, 2018 Trash article. CBS has never owned any part of Y&R; the license the show from Sony which distributes it, not CBS. Corday owns 1% of the show, the Bells own about 20%, and Sony owns the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted September 22, 2018 Members Share Posted September 22, 2018 Garbage article, as everyone has said, CBS has never owned a stake in the show. If they had bought it, you best believe there would have been a Sony press release touting some corporate speak about a 'new era of synergy in production' or a 'strategic alliance to build Y&R to new creative heights'...The Bells have a minority stake, Corday Productions owns 1% of the show from their 1970s lawsuit against Bill Bell when he left DAYS, and Sony owns the rest.

Members Cat Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 Woah, you got me anxious for a minute! Please register in order to view this content I mean, the Bells still don't have any power to meaningful overhaul the show their way. Sony has complete control.
