ABC רכשה את ימ'ח !?
This was just posted at SoapCity: A.P.(Los Angeles) ABC Acquires Rights to Rival Network Soap In a statement released earlier, a spokesperson for the ABC television Network announced that it has acquired the exclusive rights to their rival network, NBC’s longest running daytime drama, “Days of Our Lives.” This comes after negotiations between the company that produces the “Soap Opera,” SONY, inc. and NBC collapsed after neither side was willing to compromise over the costs to produce the show. This decision follows an earlier move by NBC to sell off its interests in its only other daytime drama, “Passions,” to the “Sci-Fi Channel” earlier this week. An NBC Vice-President announced that in the time slot now held by “both Soaps, would be filled beginning with the Fall 2006 line-up with two new talk shows,” which produce huge profits rather than the losses incurred by their current daytime programming, “the bottom line is that We are the business of making money.” At press time, NBC did not announce what they would actually put into the time slot currently held by ratings loser, “Passions” but did release a statement in which Megan Mulally, of the NBC primetime series “Will and “Grace,” which is in it’s final season, will host Her own talk show this Fall in the spot being vacated by “Days of Our Lives.” Recent years have show a sharp decline in the Audience of the daytime dramas, resulting in the once huge profit earning medium. However there may be an upturn in the interest with new Prime Time “Soaps” like “Desperate Housewives,” and “Grey’s Anatomy” leading the way, and their wide popularity and success bringing new viewers to their daytime counterparts. Long referred to as “the Mother of All Soaps,” ABC’s “General Hospital” as well as CBS’s “Young and the Restless” both have benefited recently from the renewed interest, with both shows now making money, while most others are scrapping pay packages to longtime Veterans, among other areas, just to break even. ABC has “alerted the press” that a “Major Announcement was forthcoming, by month’s end, while NBC has decided to defer the the rival Network with no further statements expected at this time. News of the announcement had fueled wild speculation among the legions of Soap Fans, resulting in phone calls and emails flooding both Networks, as well as rampant internet speculation, rumors, and hoaxes generated by Soap Fanatics, even before the announcement was released.
