Posts: 190 (09/03/09 12:54:10) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Y&R gets whats coming to them... As of 2009, Guiding Light is in its 72nd and final chapter in the season on CBS, as the network announced on April 1, 2009 that the series was being canceled due to low ratings. The show taped its final story on August 11, 2009,[5] and it is scheduled to air its final story on CBS on September 18, 2009.[6] The show will be replaced on October 5, 2009, by an hour-long revival of Let's Make a Deal hosted by Wayne Brady;[7] during the intervening two weeks, the timeslot will play host to reruns of The Price Is Right, bumping The Young and the Restless to 3:00pm/2:00pm C.

Back in the day when I was at school or work, I was one of them! That 2pm & 3pm slot can kill, I believe that is what hurt GL all these years, it was on at 2pm when I was in San Diego and 2pm here in San Antonio.

I'm not sure why they'd have to change and line ups... that hour is already free just stick the Price Is Right rerun in where GL aired. I like Y&R as well as quite a few other soaps... but aside from that I don't want to see any other soap put in jeopardy sorry.

It is true that Y&R has probably gotten more press in soap magazines, etc., but they were the higher rated show so that makes sense. Personally I haven't watched Y&R in years and don't intend to start back, but I don't wish them any ill will. I hope ALL the remaining soaps are able to stay on the air as long was possible and continue to employ people and entertain their own fan bases. JMHO

I am with Tania on this, mostly. I like Y&R as an institution (unlike the horrid, horrid B&B). I have watched Y&R (and also AMC, as well as OLTL) almost as long as I have watched GL - it all depended on when I got my lunch hour while in school, and much later on when VCRs became the norm, taping and watching. I too really don't want to see the demise of any other soap (with the exception of B&B, which I think is abominable). We are all culturally listeners of stories and tellers of stories ... soaps are one medium that tell us stories, stimulating our own imaginations to tell other stories, I hope. Guiding Light has treated its viewers disrespectfully for such a long time that it fell to where it did. The unfortunate thing is the P&G and CBS could have fixed much of this over time, so they too failed all of us. In the end, it seems that the corporations did not struggle all that to save GL - otoh, these are what come under "business decisions," right? I wish Y&R, ATWT, AMC and OLTL all every success to stay on and entertain us. I have not watched DOOL in recent years, so I have no idea what is going on over there ...

Wait, I'm confuzzled. The way this reads all that is going to happen is that GL will go off the air, for two weeks GL's time slot will go to reruns of TPIR (as if seeing that once isn't enough), and after the two weeks Let's Make a deal will start. Why would that line-up affect Y&R? Wether or not you local uses the 10 or 3 timeslot, it's still an hour of losing GL and replacing it with LMAD, why would Y&R move. Their timeslot is payday as far as I'm concerned why would the network or the affiliate give it up?

Posts: 9228 (09/04/09 11:12:22) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I am confused about this as well - our Y&R time-slot is 11:30 to 12:30 and GL time-slot is 2 to 3. I simply do not understand why GL being replaced by some other show has to affect when Y&R is being shown. Our current schedule for CBS here is: 11:30 - 12:30 - Y&R 12:30 -1pm- B&B 1pm - 2pm- ATWT 2pm - 3pm - GL 3pm - 4 pm - Judge Judy 4 pm - 5 pm - Dr Phil ... So, what gives?

Posts: 192 (09/04/09 11:17:26) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Because the network wants this new gameshow to prevail. CBS is hedging a bet the fans will follow Y&R and create a fan base for LMAD. They dont care about soap fans so Y&R fans need to look sharp. And I think if GL would have stayed in the SAME timer slot in ALL markets it would have been ok. Miami is 10 am West Palm Beach 60 miles north is 3pm

Ours is also a major market - the West Coast LA-based .... so, they are going to bump B&B with a new game show? When He** freezes over, may be ....

Posts: 193 (09/04/09 17:22:53) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Its real simple. If you see GL at 2 for the 2 weeks following sept 18th Y&R will be on at 2 and reruns of TPIR will be on in Y&R's spot. In most markets the projection is GL was at 3pmEST which means for 2 weeks Y&R will be on at 3pm est and TPIR will be on at 1pm if thats when you get Y&R currently. I didnt invent this I got it from a website. It is not clear if Y&R will STAY in the GL spot or not but I would think the game show will be in the earlier of the 2 timeslots preferably a lead in or follow to TPIR since Drew Cary and Wayne Brady are former collegues and it would make more sense to make a gameshow block of 2 hours. The latter I do not have conformation of but the 2 week timeslot change is from a website. so sept 21 to oct 5 Y&R is GL and TPIR is Y&R regardless of the GL timeslot

Posts: 4246 (09/04/09 18:51:55) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm still confused. LOL We get Y&R @ 4:00 here. TPIR comes on @ 11:00. When there's something else in the afternoon, they usually put Y&R on @ 11:00 and don't show TPIR.

Posts: 194 (09/05/09 04:37:01) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think this is it. For 2 weeks the GL slot (whatever it is) will be reruns of TPIR and Y&R is being moved to 3pm no matter when it is on. Here in west palm beach fl that means that: Quite frankly it doesnt matter to me since cbs will no longer be on my tv as of 4pm sept 18th when the last eppy of GL ends. My tv doesnt come on til 3 and goes off til the news at 5 now. after the 18th my tv wont come on until 5 and we will watch another network news. besides our local cbs news just declared bankruptcy so here is another reason to top watching cbs. I dont watch tv as a rule since all that is on is crap. we watch 5 shows total and the news. Now we will watch 3. pretty son we wont even need a tv except to use the dvd player!

Yep: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guiding_Light But it actually now says As of 2009, Guiding Light is in its 72nd and final chapter in the season on CBS, as the network announced on April 1, 2009 that the series was being canceled due to low ratings. The show taped its final story on August 11, 2009,^[5] and it is scheduled to air its final story on CBS on September 18, 2009.^[6] On October 5, 2009, to replace Guiding Light, CBS will air an hour-long revival of Let's Make a Deal hosted by Wayne Brady;^[7] during the intervening two weeks, the timeslot will play host to reruns of The Price Is Right.

My schedule is GL at 3 p.m., Y&R is at 12:30 with TPIR airing before that. So the way I see it working is the three o'clock time slot airs repeats of TPIR for two weeks and they LMAD starts. Not trying to be argumentative at all, I'm just confuzzled, lol, like I said.
