BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

I seem to recall the NY market at least moving GL up pretty early near the end. I still had full cable back then, still watched many soaps live and it was at some weird slot.

it was 1995, when WCBS, which was owned by the network, move gl to 10am. around the same time the boston affiliate had it @ 9. 

while hard to measure the impact, i’ve always felt it was the beginning of the end. same thing happened with another world. in boston, it was on some obscure local station in the middle of the night.

I do recall, when I lived in NY, Guiding Light aired at 10am. The last few years of GL aired at that time on WCBS. PIR was at 11am, News at Noon, Y&R at 12:30pm, B&B at 1:30pm and ATWT at 2pm.

could be wrong about this, and correct me if i am.

but, as i recall, sometimes in the 90s, networks ceded time after 3pm to their local affiliates, which meant that they could do what they pleased with soaps that aired @ 3 — gl and aw. but the affiliates couldn’t mess with the shows that aired before 3 — the rest of the soap lineups

Lorie was/is a fascinating character. Yes, genius writing and planning above all.

I am so ready for this! And I honestly would love for Victoria Rowell to be offered it!

GL stayed at 3pm here where I live

 

The only soap I've seen that aired early was Generations at 11 am when I lived in California lol 

[Soapsuds]

Generations aired at 11:00 a.m. in Texas too.

I believe so. It's been so long that I don't actual remember the date.

Word. Here... at 9 AM in the 70's there was Phil Donahue, Merv Griffin, and The Price is right.

LOL this promo is so bad, mostly chemistry free unpopular pairings from YR/BOLD

 

Only good part is BTG

Get serious, CBS.  The only soap of yours that might be getting soapier is BTG.  The other two are just coasting.

[Liberty City]

Only Beyond the Gates looks worth it. Plus, [some] cast are in Washington, D.C. right now for the show's press!

[dragonflies]

They really used Sally/Billy, & Carter and Hope for a promo two of the most unpopular couples on soaps right now, I can't

Edit: not sure if Kyle/Claire are unpopular lol

that embedding glitch with the SON forum technical issue, the entire new IG CBS multisoap promo is bleeding down two posts and I can't see it now.
(Nobody's fault, just a random technical thing)

Found it and reposting with extra spaces after so that it doesn't do that again.
