\"abc<\/p>\n

Oh, woe is daytime television over at ABC. The network just can’t seem to get any of its new early-bird programming to work and this might cause trouble<\/a> for some old favorites.<\/p>\n

For awhile now, the alphabet network has had several new daytime talks shows in development that they want to get on the air. Problem is, some of their other programming is eating up all their funds and they’re finding it difficult to make peace with that. One of the most costly ventures of the network is their lineup of soap operas. Yes, your stories are costing ABC big bucks<\/a> as they’re all running completely over-budget.<\/p>\n

Like All My Children<\/em>. The House of Mouse uprooted the show’s production to Los Angeles last year in an effort to cut down on costs, but the relocation has made little difference. The show’s been on the air for over 40 years, but if they can’t find a way to decrease the bottom line, it could be coming to an end. The same goes for One Life to Live<\/em>, except that they’ve managed to stay under budget consistently. Problem is, they don’t grab as many eyeballs as AMC, so they might be cut loose just to make room.<\/p>\n

The only show that seems to be safe in ABC’s morning lineup is General Hospital. <\/em>Though they too constantly find themselves over budget, GH remains the networks most popular soap, so its pretty much a safe bet that it won’t go anywhere. <\/p>\n

It’s sad to think that even more longtime soaps will be getting the axe. C’mon, ABC, do we really need more talk shows? Really?<\/p>\n
