READ CAREFULLY
Looks like AMC is safe... for now. From TV Guide online: This week, NBC announced their decision to cancel Passions in order to add a fourth hour to Today. The Peacock network also made it clear that they'll let go of Days of our Lives when their obligation to air the long-running sudser expires in 2009.
Now there's widespread Internet buzz that ABC will copycat NBC's move by adding a third hour to Good Morning America — and cancel either All My Children or One Life to Live to make room for more GMA on the network's daytime schedule!
"It is absolutely not true," an ABC spokesperson insists to TVGuide.com. "If ABC had an announcement to make, they would have made it last week at [the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena]. We're in a good position with our daytime dramas and moving forward full steam ahead."

It's been well known for quite some time now that NBC is phasing out daytime programming from their line-up.

It's odd but 2 years will be ok with me. It's a pity because I just started watching DOOL and it's older than I am. Figures that after more than 40 years I start watching and NBC plans to phase it out.
It might end up on another network because it's privately owned but I dopubt ABC will give Corday the control that he likes...and CBS is chock full of soaps...of course they could replace one of their less successful soaps like GL and replace DOOL in it's time spot...it would be funny...in a way...to see DOOL take AMC's time slot...TK would be out of a job and James be the main villian on the show that edged his show out.

Well, I'm even more glad I switched back to DAYS then I already was. It's gonna be sad to see it go, but at least we know 2 years in advance.

Two years is a long time. I guess we'll see what happens. I am just happy to have some warning.

i'm not giving up too easily. DAYS is the best soap on tv right now, imo and hopefully everything will work out. p.s. i just love Sami & Lucas!!!
