Members dragonflies Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Isn't Days already on the free tier on Peacock? I Doubt they will move it to the paid tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 3, 2022 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 I assume the cast will be slashed. Which worked for AMC and OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Okay, not exactly a fifth Today hour, but close: 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.

Members dragonflies Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Yeah that's gonna do well LOL! So Canadian viewers get the middle finger as do older viewers who aren't all that familiar with streaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) It will still be badly written with cheap production values. But i will miss watching it on NBC. Edited August 3, 2022 by victoria foxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 I just wonder what time they're gonna release the episodes. It was so nice to come home from work and watch Days on my DVR I give it one season Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'd pay for it if they add older episodes like Paramount Plus did with their soaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hey, maybe I'm wrong, but I still don't understand how anyone would prefer news or some bullshit talk show over a soap Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Not necessarily. Global's W Network has aired the Beyond Salem episodes and the Canadian network Slice airs the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip programs at the same time they premiere on Peacock. Global may retain the Canadian rights to air it on network television. We'll have to wait and see because I doubt Global wants to slot in a new program at 1pm with only a month's notice and it won't air the NBC News programming due to Canadian content laws.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 That would be a great marketing tool: to lure Days fans and other people onto Peacock, you release blocks of classic Days episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Did they? I know a lot of Canadian viewers said they had no way to watch Beyond Salem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 They should absolutely work on adding the full back library. That would be a legitimate draw. I know most people who come to boards like this will always treasure the idea of a five-day-a-week, 52-week-a-year soap opera, but I do think it's increasingly an obsolete form. That is not how people view things these days, and it's not helpful in winning a new or refreshed audience. I would be interested in them trying three days a week, or even better, as @Vee mentioned, 6-to-8-week arcs several times a year. There's an energy that comes from finales and premieres, especially these days, that I think daytime in general is lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted August 3, 2022 Members Share Posted August 3, 2022 Talk shows I can understand, but I remember when they were the norm and hand-in-hand with soaps. But extra hours of news...? Yeeeah NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
