Until Soap Classics came along I never really thought about all that goes into it at this level before.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-72746484709321040812012-12-10T15:04:38.698-05:002012-12-10T15:04:38.698-05:00The Case to bring Back OLTL and ATWT is still an o...The Case to bring Back OLTL and ATWT is still an option.

The...I don't think Santa Barbara is an option. The music used on that show can't be cut out most likely and no one can afford to pay to use it again. If someone had years to digitize the old stuff you could probably air a lot of it skipping episodes with music in them. But you still have the pay the actors, writers, directors, etc, etc for airing their work again. It becomes diminishing returns.<br /><br />Episodes from the late 1990s onward are the most likely candidates to get played again because the dialogue and music were no longer mixed together on one track so you could easily take music out. As long as you could digitize those episodes cheaply and air them at a cost that would make enough money to be profitable and still pay everyone involved, it could work.<br /><br />I wish decades of soap history wasn't lost due to wiping, etc. <br /><br />I would think Sony or ABC have the best shot at making something like this happen.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-12417510413109341932012-12-10T13:41:23.949-05:002012-12-10T13:41:23.949-05:00You know what I'd love?

I'd love if someone could partner with You Tube and create a Classic Soap Channel (irrespective of production/parent companies like P&G, etc) and stream classic episodes on this channel. <br /><br />I understand the process of encoding and film rights are ornery but if they start out with shows like Capitol and Edge of Night, Texas, Santa Barbara, Loving, etc that had relatively limited runs (as compared to shows that were on for several decades like ATWT and GL, Another World, etc) they could give technicians, volunteers, etc more time to work out those technical/legal aspects with the bigger shows. Perhaps You Tube could help with some logistical support.<br /><br />But with You Tube, there is already the infrastructure present to cultivate sponsors and ad revenue in the way YT assists fledgling filmmakers and indie producers maintain build a revenue stream and subscriber base. <br />And with You Tube being so prominent, it would be a very visible gathering place for fans of Classic Soaps to gather and watch their favorites, instead of the piece-meal process that has been happening in the last decade with various sites displaying portals of material that are here today and gone tomorrow.<br /><br />Has any entity ever tried partnering with You Tube?agentprovocateurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338513665783499520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-3816944766435098202012-12-10T13:20:19.607-05:002012-12-10T13:20:19.607-05:00Wouldn't it be awesome if we could resurrect G...Wouldn't it be awesome if we could resurrect GUIDING LIGHT, SEARCH FOR TOMORROW and CAPITOL!?Nelson Aspenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495071435737576872noreply@blogger.com
