GH/Y&R/B&B preemption or sched. changes April 8 due to eclipse coverage


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Coverage of the solar eclipse Monday April 8 might affect the soaps.

At this time, it looks like GH will be fully preempted Monday April 8 for the eclipse.


Y&R and B&B are still showing as airing Monday April 8th in some TV listings.
Some listings for specific cities show one or both soaps at a slightly adjusted time, shifted to before or after the eclipse.
In some areas, coverage of the eclipse might preempt one or both CBS soaps,
especially in Central and Mountain timezones?  In which case, watch online.
Hopefully CBS or the individual soaps will clarify soon!


Be prepared to set your recording devices to record manually for week of April 8th.

  • Monday April 8 might have eclipse disruptions on CBS in some areas.
     
  • Tuesday April 9 and Wednesday April 10 on CBS will have
    soccer disruptions in Mountain/Pacific/Alaska/Hawaii timezones.
    More details on the soccer thread at this comment:

The Talk will be fully preempted nationally Monday April 8 for the eclipse.
The Talk will be fully preempted nationally Tues April 9 and Wed April 10 for European soccer.
The Talk's press release confirms this:

I swear, this eclipse has the best PR agent on the planet.

Firstly, it doesn't seem that rare, given that we can all recall a certain former president staring directly into the sun for an eclipse in 2017.

Second, what are they going to use to visualize the experience on TV?  An area going dark and then light; big whoop. 

I am old enough to recall the total eclipse in 1979.  GMA went outside for one segment, showed it getting dark, and that was it.  The planned multi-hour coverage doesn't seem warranted for the event.  I think they have overestimated the appeal.

The path of eclipse totality is diagonally across the USA and Mexico. 
But a great deal of North and Central America (from Panama to Canada) will have at least a partial eclipse.   And it's in the middle of the day.

Beginning with Tahiti and Hawaii as the sun is rising.
Ending across the Atlantic to Ireland, Scotland, and the Canary Islands just as the sun is setting.

This map shows the path (narrow band) of the totality. But it's interactive in that  you can click anywhere on the map to find out the percentage of the sun that will be obscured in your area:

I experienced the 2017 eclipse. It doesn't seem like it has been seven years. I truly enjoyed the experience. Going from daylight to total darkness and back to sunlight in just minutes was great to be part of.

Now going from a state to another and camp overnight to experience the eclipse is a bit much.

The eclipse on Monday won't hit us directly as the 2017 one but it will be interesting to see anyways.

    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
