Oh, so that may be why - they’ve already run off the previous core audience so they are just going to send it for its smaller niche audience on a streaming service.
Still ridiculous they are going to put on yet another hour news program in its place. A game show would fit the audience and time slot better, I would think.
Many years ago I would occasionally see episodes of this show as a little kid as my grandmother would watch. Probably 15-20 years later living on my own I remember I was flipping through channels one day and it was on. The same thing was happening - Stefano (sp?) was after Marlena - as the last time I had seen the show...LOL
The ratings have been dwindling for soaps, well, almost everything on the networks. Days is the lowest-rated of the 4 remaining network soaps. Better they shift it to streaming than outright cancel it. This is probably a prelude to its cancelation, anyhow.
Those shows they replace the soaps with get much lower ratings, as evidenced when ABC axed two of three remaining soaps about a decade ago. They ended up canceling a cooking show that replaced one soap, moved GH up an hour and extended their execrable GMA into the afternoon.
