ABC Moves Veteran Soaps Around

Over the last few years the onetime ratings powerhouse daytime soap operas have suffered amid declining ratings which has caused cast cuts. The biggest example of the problems on the soaps is when CBS canceled the long running soap opera Guiding Light after 72 years. Now ABC is making some moves concerning its soap but at the moment is not canceling any instead it is switching locations for their filming. In the cost cutting shuffle All My Children will move from its current home in Los Angeles to New York in a studio complex double the size of its current home. One Life To Live will also move from New York in to Los Angeles in to All My Childrens space which is 30 percent larger than its current home. The move to New York of All My Children means also the show will also be able to start broadcasting in HD. There are reports that ABC is working with Alisha Tyler on a pilot which could replace one of the soaps so the future in soap opera land isnt rosey. If i had to make a prediction i would say that the future of One Life To Live may not be certain.

Small correction: AMC & OLTL are both located in New York. AMC is moving to LA, while OLTL is moving to AMC's present studio in NYC. Which one will be cancelled first, IMO, is a crap shoot.
