On another note: how is LMaD doing?

Having trouble finding that out.  I asked today, and the latest we've heard is that it's doing slightly better in overall ratings compared to Guiding Light (and supposedly in the men demo) but we're not sure about the women demo.  The most important is that LMAD costs around 1/2 of what Guiding Light does so CBS is pretty happy.

And more things are proved to be mortal.

If nothing else, ATWT got its footnote in history as the show Walter Cronkite interrupted to announce the Kennedy assassination.

But then, who needs soaps when we can turn on any news channel and get 24 hours of "Cheating Tiger, Hidden Mistress."

If we are going to have "fierce" game show competition among channels, again, maybe Family Channel and others might get back into the game show biz again? It's going to be an interesting 2010.

I'm also hoping for the best with "The $1,000,000 Pyramid" now that another veteran CBS soap opera's leaving us.

[quote name=\'rugrats1\' post=\'231856\' date=\'Dec 8 2009, 09:47 AM\']Personally (at least in ET), I see stations getting a full hour to themselves at Noon, Young and Restless moving to 1PM ET, and Bold & Beautiful expanding to 60 minutes and moving to 2 PM.[/quote]
That's what I thought would happen when GL ended.  I am pretty sure there are no plans to expand B&B to an hour.

Anybody with an ear to the ground think there's a chance they'll add a 30-minute version of Regis-era Password?  (That and a 30-minute Pyramid can fill the slot.)
The only problem (and I think I mentioned this beforehand) might be getting name celebrities to do a week of any of these shows.
Now watch CBS pay for the rights to the name The People's Court and air their own version of that.

And why has nobody mentioned yet that once ATWT ends, the longest-running network TV show becomes TPIR?

According to this NY Times blog, a network spokeman said that CBS will be programming the 2 PM hour, and that it won't go back to the affiliates.

[quote name=\'weaklink75\' post=\'231844\' date=\'Dec 8 2009, 12:01 PM\']I also heard that The Bonnie Hunt show is canceled as well, so there's going to be some slots there for syndication...[/quote]
It's not leaving in January, is it?  I presently get it at 4 PM on my Fox station after L&O reruns.  Is Live With Regis & Kelly doing reasonably well?  This station should grab it NOW.

LOL

I know in Hartford, CT CBS affilliate WFSB is getting Nancy Grace's show. They could replace LMaD or ATWT.

/and once again, another TV icon of my youth is leaving. Farewell ATWT!

Well, when you put it that way...

And now that I think about it, even if you limit it to weekday shows, Today has about 20 years' hed start on TPIR.

Looking at network daytime (outside of network news), TPiR would only become CBS's longest-running daytime show. The ABC soaps and Days of Our Lives all predate it by a few years.

Don't forget that supposed Hasbro/Discovery network that Boden's on board with.

I think MG is a property better off dead and buried.
