TeleNext Media's Brian T. Cahill, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, has released a statement regarding the future of GUIDING LIGHT.
When GUIDING LIGHT was cancelled by CBS in April, we promised our fans we would do everything we could to find a new home for the show. In the ensuing months, we have engaged in serious discussions with many networks, leaving no stone unturned in our effort to place the show elsewhere. Unfortunately, despite the urgent and dedicated efforts of many people, we have not been able to secure an outlet to carry the show moving forward.
We are extremely disappointed with this outcome, but we are confident we have exhausted every possible option. While it’s hard to imagine GUIDING LIGHT coming to an end, we’re so very proud of the amazing feat the show has accomplished with an unprecedented 72 years on radio and television. The show has made an indelible mark on broadcast history that likely will never be repeated. We’d like to thank all the members of the cast and crew who have brought Springfield to life for the past seven decades.
The good news is we have some powerful stories planned during the show’s remaining months that will celebrate the show’s rich history. We continue to appreciate our fans around the world and are grateful for their unwavering support of the show. We hope our viewers will continue to tune in to be entertained and touched by the drama, the love and the family that is GUIDING LIGHT.
I really believed this show should have lived on. There are 38 more episodes after today.
This is sad news. I hope the producers and writers can focus now on giving GL the proper send off it deserves. Phillip should live and be reunited with Beth, Josh and Reva should have an open-ended finale that hints at the possibility of a future reunion for them (it would be too unbelievable to have them end up together so soon after Jeffrey's death, unless they do a fast forward, like Six Feet Under did), and Otalia should end up happy together (that means KISS and LOVE SCENE)
ReplyDeleteLet's get what we want on screen before the show it's over!

ReplyDeleteWow, Brian. Thanks for delivering that news update Captain Obvious!
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you gave a shit about either of your shows, GL would still be alive and ATWT wouldn't have a big expiration date on it. Moron.
I'm super super depressed. Why can't GL continue as a subscription-based monthly web show or something?
