Rituals in 1984-85. There are at least two promos that are on YouTube (and I think there might be at least 1 episode posted there as well)....

Oh, I almost forgot....Swans Crossing, in 1992 (with a young Sarah Michelle Gellar, pre-All My Children & Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, among others, as the lead). This show was targeted toward teens, and aired mostly on the Tribune stations, if I'm not mistaken. Shout! Factory TV has all the episodes available for streaming on its website....

The show would've needed a little retooling and additional co-hosts. Hmm. I don't think that was the case. Ben Sherwood was eager to be like NBC to get some XTRA money.

Talk shows are cheap, much cheaper than a mon-fri. If any soap returns it would be on a weekly or twice weekly basis and most likely stream oriented. The most likely scenarios would be either a hard or soft reboot so the PP era can be forgotten about. The one thing going for the shows is brand/ip familiarity.

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) WALA has tweaked their morning newscasts.... The 4:30-7am portion still remains as Fox 10 News with longtime anchors Eric Reynolds & Sarah Wall, but now, the 7-9am portion is now "Good Day Gulf Coast" with Studio 10 co-host Joe Emer adding anchor duties alongside Sarah Wall. I haven't seen too much of a shift of content (like other Fox "Good Day" shows) since the WALA morning news has been very news-intensive, but that could change. Studio 10 is the lifestyle pay-for-play show where all of the "filler" has gone....
