For years, networks have decided to put on cooking shows and talk shows instead of a new daytime soap opera. And, those shows that are being put on instead are starting to fail miserably. And, they are starting to cost more. Katie Couric's one year show cost ABC more than making two years of ONE LIFE TO LIVE combined! Megyn Kelly's supposed 'hit' talk show is declining in ratings every single week. Therefore, I'm asking networks to take a chance on a new daytime soap. And, I'm hoping you'll join the fight to help me get one on the air!

I am currently compiling a report on declining talk show ratings to include in a formal proposal for network executives. This documentation will highlight the financial contrast between failing talk formats and the proven audience retention of soap operas.

The growth in support has caught the attention of two industry analysts who requested a formal summary of our request. I am compiling our data to present to network programming executives by the end of the week.

If you can't give us a new soap....at least stop threatening to yank the few we have left.....we need all of them....bring back one that you killed....I hate reality tv.....I watch tv to escape reality....soaps give me that!
I miss A.M.C. & O.L.T.L..avid watcher of them and G.H. for many years.The lousy shows for cooking, etc. have not pleased most viewers of the former soaps, including myself. The issues, realism, drama, with soaps like these have kept us viewing for many years.
I wish the soap opera genre would be recognized as the treasure it is. We lost to greed & corporate control. Revival of iconic shows would satisfy many. Creation of new shows absolutely! So much talent to employ!
Soapa are a great training ground for actors and supply many jobs, in front and behind the camera.
Put a new soap opera on the air on either NBC or ABC. OR FOX or the CW produce it in NYC there is a lot of talent available on the East Coast
Please give us a new soap. Daytime boring with talk shows ,or Cooking shows .. Thank you
Oh how l wish Maura West & Michael Park would be as Jack & Carly Snyder again moving from Oakdale to another city on this new petition for another soap opera.

In my area. On the three major stations- we have- 2 judges. 3 game shows, 4 soaps, 6 news , and 15 talk shows from 9-5 weekdays!! I have lost more soap shows than I want to count. The count is way off and should be fixed by adding a new soap or two.
