#abc boycott

Hi Gabblers,

Uniquely Yours provided us with this information by sending it in. I hadn't heard anything about it, but that's probably because I don't live in America. Apparently the ratings of new Primetime shows are dropping because soap fans are refusing to tune in. It's going as far as sponsors actually pulling out! Check out the article below for more info.

This week ABC will be airing new episodes of their hit shows such as “Desperate Housewives,” “Dancing With the Stars,”and “Grey’s Anatomy.”  Yet, the question is how many people will actually be watching?

Soap fans across the nation have made a pledge to switch their television stations and not watch any of these shows.  In fact, the only ABC shows these fans will be watching are:  “All My Children,” “One Life To Live” and “General Hospital.”  Once “General Hospital” goes off the channels will be switching to NBC and CBS. They are doing this for one reason only: the fact that two of these beloved shows have been set for cancelation.

This sounds pretty serious. I haven't heard of it before, and I really hope it won't affect Grey's Anatomy in any way. I don't watch/know any of the shows so I can't really give an opinion on the boycott. What do you think about it? Is it fair? Share your thoughts below.
