The article makes great points about the changing daytime audience and the diminishing stay at home mom role that supported the day time soaps primarily. It’s also a cost cutting move and no announcements were made about what will replace the program. When CBS canceled “Guiding Light” they gave us the terd called “Let’s Make a Deal” in an hour long format…who knows what they will dig up, if anything.
Any ideas what you think might work in the daytime? Remember it has to be produced cheap and available daily with few to any repeats.
