Days to be shown on POP TV

[Poirot]

Beginning August 24th, POP TV will be showing same day episodes of Days....in the evening. Check your cable/sattelite systems for time. It will follow right after Bold & Beautiful, then Young & Restless, then Days.
On Direct TV, it is channel 273. I think it may be coming on at 7 p.m. Central. That would be 8 p.m. Eastern, and 5 p.m. Pacific.

Great news for those who have the channel. Probably explains why they've been shutting down YouTube videos.

What's POP TV? Never heard of this channel before.

 

[Poirot]

Pop is an American basic cable and satellite television network that is operated as a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Lions Gate Entertainment.

I think it takes the place of the TVGuide Network (which was purchased by Lionsgate)

It used to be the TV Guide channel; it just changed names.

Interesting. Lionsgate also produces DVDs. They've been releasing uncut DVDs of Little House On The Prairie over the past year in response to fan complaints.

Well, it changed names because of different ownership. Also, different programming now.

 

[Just Samantha]

All I meant is that it wasn't a brand new channel launched elsewhere on cable. But it's pretty much the same channel though (even though different ownership). I haven't noticed much difference in programming.

This is great news for when I don't get the show recorded.

On Dish, TV Guide and POP are two different things. I just recently discovered the network, the show Queens of Drama (soap ladies developing their own series, Lindsay Hartley/ex-Arianna is on it) got me watching. It's 117 on Dish.

This deal boggles my mind because POP is owned by CBS and Lions gate. DAYS is affiliated with NBC and Sony and owned by Corday Productions. How was this possible?

 

[Poirot]

Well, Soapnet was owned by Disney & ABC, and they showed all kinds of soaps from all the networks.

Hold the sand. Same day episodes of Days of our Lives are coming to @PopTV—weeknights 8/7c starting Monday. #DAYS

The good news is I discovered I actually have this channel.

The bad news is I have to upgrade my already expensive cable package in order to get it.

 

[Soaphead]

Looked on my cable listings. It said I do not get this channel. lol I guess not even with an upgrade. I will continue to use Youtube if I miss an episode. Hulu doesn't put in on till the next day . At least the last time I checked. Funny GH gets put on by 7 pm usually.

 

[sands of time]

Hulu doesn't stream DAYS anymore.

 

[Heather4CU]

Does that include Hulu Plus?

 

[Poirot]

Unless they come up with a new deal, Hulu sends you over to NBC to watch the video there. And that is a lousy one.

 

[sands of time]

Hulu Plus' DAYS are numbered, Heather.

I just checked, had to "add" the channel to my favorites!! Now to see what happens next Monday as it definitely is posted there right after Y&R!! I'm never surprised any more, it could, for all I know, be "blacked out" just like a local baseball game. Only a couple of days to go to see, meanwhile, I continue to record daily.
