Wow. This rumour really lifts my heart (which has been down in the dumps a while now, regarding GL).

As RMMommy says, this is a basic cable channel and therefore people like us get this! In our area, Dish and DirecTV are very expensive, and their basic sets of channels are not worth paying for at all, at least, not for me. OTOH, Time Warner Cable is doing a really great job (which is a huge change from the previous Cable Provider for this area), and their basic cable package has stayed at the same low price (about 20 bucks a month) for a few years now. Though there are some channels that Dish and DirecTV offer that I covet all the time, in order to get those particular channels, I will have to pay something of the order of couple of hundred dollars a month, which I am totally unwilling to do. The only reason I have even basic cable is because we live in the shadow of a mountain where we simply cannot get any signal with a roof antenna. So, .... this is a great rumour indeed! I am keeping my fingers crossed.

The story at the following link may be connected to this and other such rumours of GL being picked up by a different network: MyCentralJersey.com

Excellent points, Guy.

I am not a habitual Lifetime watcher, but I have caught some really good made-for-Lifetime movie on the channel every now and then (they tackle some very difficult social issues in the manner in which they affect normal, everyday folks - a way in which I have not seen these issues tackled on other TV shoes). So now, Lifetime is on the list of channels I scan to see what show I want to watch whenever I have the time. For our area, it is channel 59.

So, if Lifetime picks up both GL and ATWT, they will certainly get my loyal viewership for their other shows as well, esepecially since they have made a favourable impression already.
