This is a bad day for soaps fans no matter which show you are watching. CBS has just announced the show's amazing run is over and will air its final episode on Friday, September 18th.
TV Week who broke the story regarding the fact that the network was shopping around for replacement daytime content had this to say:
The show’s death on CBS had become apparent after word emerged that the network was actively deciding on its replacement, as TelevisionWeek reported exclusively Sunday. “Light” is the lowest-rated of the eight network soaps still on the air. Its ratings have fallen 25% in the past year following a radical change in production model designed to make the series more cost-effective."
According to TV Week however, the ultimate fate of the show rests upon the shoulders of Proctor & Gamble who produces this show. TV Week reports P&G is actively searching for a new home for the drama which has more than its share of hot storylines going on at this point. Reporter Josef Adalian spoke to Brian T. Cahill, senior VP and managing director of TeleNext Media, the P&G unit that produces "Light" and "As the World Turns to get his take on the situation. Cahill had this to say:
We are working hard to find the show a new home, and we are exploring all our options to continue to bring loyal fans the characters and stories they love."
Hang in there GL fans and lets hope that P&G comes through for us. See the entire TV Week article here.
