I'm glad I checked in here. Thank you for always being honest with us. I like that you don't pull any punches, and are straight with us. I think we came very close here. This was a wake up call that nobody should ignore. We need to keep on ABC even after the announcement comes. I think people like you actually helped to save our shows. You guys caused a panic that led to a huge outcry, and we will always be grateful. I loved seeing Catherine Hickland on your facebook wall! How cool is that! I have always loved her too! You have so many supporters out there for a reason. You keep being who you are and never lose sight of that. You have been knocking them out of the park lately, one after another! We love you! I hope you know that! You seriously rock!!

Not out of the woods by a long shot. Expect the announcement to be a load of garbage. Don't buy it Raven. They are just trying to find the right replacements. Logan knew what he was talking about. Don't be one of the sheep. You have never been one before. It's what I like about you. The sheep have no idea what is coming. Ignore the announcement. It's damage control for NOW. I have posted a brand new article from Variety below. Don't be fooled.

More on the truth

I don't think they're out of the woods. In Logan's piece he stated that Frons had 2 shows ready to go. This means to me that 2 pilots were successful and are set to replace AMC and OLTL. The pilots that weren't were thrown out a while ago and bare no impact on the current situation.

As for ABC hearing from fans that's great. But if I was ABC it would only have some impact. Even after cancellation rumors started and fans starting letting their voices be heard AMC STILL was at the bottom of the ratings. Ties a record low too in a key demo. OLTL moved up and was 3rd. That would tell me what show would be saved if one was to be.

Who would have thought that Couric had this much power?

Your post makes the most sense. ABC can feign surprise re fan feedback, but if the "announcement" is not cancellation, I still would not relax. Any positive decision is merely a temporary reprieve, the proverbial finger in the dyke.

As for boycotting the sponsors, I never watch the soaps live, always on tape etc, specifically to avoid the ads. I doubt I've ever bought a product because of amc/oltl.

I think what she means by boycotting is that we won't be watching the replacement shows. We won't be programming our DVR for those time slots anymore. We won't see the new
shows or their commercials.

The boycott isn't the sponsor's products (ABC doesn't care if we buy them or not, only if they buy ad time), it is a boycott of ABC all together... Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, Dancing with the Stars, Desperate Housewives, GMA, The View, etc.
