[QUOTE="Chris2, post: 323796, member: 495"] P&G is primarily a CPG company. It realizes that there isn’t big money to be made in licensing its old soaps, so it directs its resources to the most profitable part os its business. It’s a shame that its library isn’t owned by a studio like Paramount or Warner Bros, both of which have staffs whose job it is to monetize their library content. But clearly P&G doesn’t have that, and it’s not surprising, given that its library is mostly old daytime soap operas which have relatively limited appeal today. Back when P&G licensed reruns of AW, Edge, and SFT, they were actively in the soap business, but they don’t have that kind of staff anymore. We’re lucky that SFM - a company that specializes in older titles - has the rights to The Doctors. I doubt SFM is making a lot of money on digitizing and licensing that show to RetroTV. But Stan Moger, the co-founder of SFM, was passionate about the entertainment business and about older content and it’s more a labor of love as opposed to a business that’s going to make huge profits.
