Not a dream, not an imaginary story, folks.

Like sands through the hourglass, another iconic TV title is switching to streaming: NBC’s Days of our Lives will become a Peacock exclusive starting September 12, Vulture has learned. The move will end the show’s 57-year run on broadcast television and also marks the exit of NBC from a genre it pioneered 73 years ago with the launch in 1949 of These Are My Children, widely credited as TV’s first-ever daytime sudser. It comes as two other major broadcast titles — Thursday Night Football and ABC’s Dancing with the Stars — prepare to shift to streaming this fall.

In the case of Days, there has been industry speculation about it jumping to Peacock for some time now. The series, produced by Corday Prods. in association with Sony Pictures Television, has dodged cancellation multiple times over the past 15 years, with Sony and NBC often engaged in very last-minute negotiations to hammer out deals which make financial sense to both parties. Days has been the least-watched of the four remaining network daytime dramas for years now, making it increasingly difficult for NBC execs to justify keeping the show around absent reduced license fees (which Sony has largely been able to deliver).

.....

“This programming shift benefits both Peacock and NBC and is reflective of our broader strategy to utilize our portfolio to maximize reach and strengthen engagement with viewers,” Mark Lazarus, chairman, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming said of the decision. “With a large percentage of the Days of Our Lives audience already watching digitally, this move enables us to build the show’s loyal fanbase on streaming while simultaneously bolstering the network daytime offering with an urgent, live programming opportunity for partners and consumers.” NBC will fill the gap left by Days with a new one-hour news program, NBC News Daily, anchored by Kate Snow, Aaron Gilchrist, Vicky Nguyen and Morgan Radford.

I was warned years ago by a former friend never to post her tweets. This person is way before my time on here. Even after so many years she generates so much disdain.

Some newbies and off and on posters don't know this.

Yeah...you're not the only one that was clueless. That's why I made that statement.

I know who you're referring too and I saw her tweet and did nothing but roll my eyes lol 

And I'm just sittin' here chillin' like Dylan. I have NO IDEA what's up. 😆

Oh lord. The rabbit hole that folks will go down with that woman… prepare yourself for a journey that even James E. Reilly himself couldn’t conjure up.

Deleted additional posts. Regardless of light intention. No reference will be tolerated.

I absolutely, positively do NOT have any history creating chaos. That is simply not true. People are saying untrue things about me & I have no interest in this. I'm not saying things about other people. And, I wish it would cease.

Hi @Tonksadora,

This isn’t about you.

Okay, Errol, thanks for saying so. Seriously I just wanna be a good citizen here.

Sorry, I saw it posted on a ratings website and while the name looked vaguely familiar I actually didn't connect with where I'd heard it from until @Errol's post. I wasn't on here during the time that person was a subject on this website, so I've only heard things about it third hand, which is why I didn't connect the dots.

No worries. I can’t write it down as a policy nor can I tell every new member about an unwritten rule individually. It’s one of those things we all just have to end up learning through word of mouth. The actual reasons I’ll never iterate. It’s something you just had to be there to see/read in real time to just know, you know?
