Really excited about this. <br /><br />Very ironic that its OWN picking this up since two years ago Oprah said, “I will not be taking on the responsibility of trying to revive an institution that for all intents and purposes indicates the time has come for it to be over.”<br /><br />But many people besides Oprah have been eating crow after proclaiming the death of soaps. <br /><br />This news raises some questions however.<br /><br />Will the cursing be censored out before broadcast on OWN? Will some of these sex scenes get trimmed? Petey getting a blowjob? <br /><br />And what about fitting in time for commercials. The shows run 25 minutes online with 3-4 minutes of commercials. So, if OWN adds 5 more minutes of commercials for the broadcast, will that 8-9 minutes total commercial time be enough? Or will some of the episode get trimmed for more commercials?

It has nothing to do with being a fan, it has to do with commercial dollars. I don't mean this as shade against the soaps, but I think Oprah has in a way lowered her standards for what she deems as worthy of her channel.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469705123435835446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-91653503937352121232013-06-26T16:09:11.607-04:002013-06-26T16:09:11.607-04:00Gee, I wonder what OWN will air during the 90 minu...Gee, I wonder what OWN will air during the 90 minutes between the two soaps to try to retain viewers and keep them from changing the channel? (IOW, creating a 1:00 - 3:30 block.) I've always heard that, even more so than broadcast television, cable programming is all about designing a schedule that works to increase the average hours of viewing per homes/person. <br />FoxCranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826849478948616154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-11932209891655531592013-06-26T16:03:01.044-04:002013-06-26T16:03:01.044-04:00Interesting move, considering that just about 2 ye...Interesting move, considering that just about 2 years ago Miss Oprah said, on videotape, that <i>OWN</i> is/was not interested in broadcasting soaps or purchasing the rights to <i>AMC</i> & <i>OLTL</i> shortly after the ABC/Disney cancellation tragedy.<br /><br /><i>Brian</i> :-|Greeneb2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16466719799496320519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-1038472643964135162013-06-26T15:09:13.230-04:002013-06-26T15:09:13.230-04:00Good move.Good move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-17183711492068906282013-06-26T15:07:31.663-04:002013-06-26T15:07:31.663-04:00I guess that means both soaps have more than 40 ep...I guess that means both soaps have more than 40 episodes filmedConfessions and Critiques from a TV fanatic.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01877002470110729422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-22991616847886962512013-06-26T13:55:28.460-04:002013-06-26T13:55:28.460-04:00I don't have OWN as I don't subscribe to c...I don't have OWN as I don't subscribe to cable but Whaaat?!
