Guiding light soap Canceled?
What do you think about this. Guiding Light, Global/CBS — It’s official: GL cancelled!
• This just in: Guiding Light, the oldest show on television, has officially been cancelled. Yes, ironically on April Fool’s day. Very funny, CBS. “Casts on GL and As The World Turns were told this morning,” says a CBS actor. Meanwhile, World Turns has been reportedly renewed for one more year. More in Suds Friday.
“No show in daytime or prime-time, or anytime, has touched so many millions of viewers across so many years,” said CBS daytime exec Barbara Bloom. “We thank the cast, crew and producers — past and present — who delivered this entertainment institution.”
Guiding Light began life in 1937 as a 15-minute radio serial, before switching to a 15-minute soap on CBS in 1952 (while continuing to air on radio until 1956). The series moved to a 30-minute format in 1968 and expanded to an hour in 1977.
The show will last air on CBS on September 18.
(Not familiar w/posting here. Hope that it came out ok. Thanks.)

there replaced right into a rumor that DOOL replaced into being cancelled. This replaced into around the time that Passions replaced into cancelled. The rumor replaced into that NBC replaced into attempting to get out of the cleansing soap opera employer. I hadn't heard approximately any of the different exhibits being cancelled. i replaced right into a GL watcher for some years and it makes me unhappy to renowned this is basically no longer on the air! help Your prominent Soaps!!!

I am very sad I even listened to it on radio when I was a little girl, I don't watch any of the talk shows so I guess I will have to turn the television off at 3PM
