[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 391640, member: 27"] In most East coast markets, [I]The Talk[/I] airs at 2pm, immediately after B&B and directly opposite GH (on ABC). I've never been curious enough to know if [I]The Talk[/I] drags viewers away from GH since they're so different, but if [I]The Gates[/I] ends up at 2pm against GH, it might take away many of the remaining "live" viewers that GH still has who want to watch a soap as opposed to a talk show or news. So much is written about those who time-shift and DVR/stream it at odd times, but there is still a sizeable audience who watch daytime shows "live". I guess the question they'll have to ask if there is still the "winner take all" attitude about time slot competition in daytime, or if there is now a feeling that soaps as a genre needs to be protected. I would hope the networks would understand that when a soap gets cancelled on any of the networks, it hurts the genre as a whole. But do they really care? [SIZE=2]Probably not.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
