This is terrible news. The death of the soap opera has been happening over the years, with only four left standing. Now there is GH on ABC, and Y&R and B&B on CBS. And how long will they last on network TV?
I read this: "NBC News Daily,” a new hour-long newscast, will air in its time slot, the company said in a press release. I am all for the news, but there is already a glut of news programs.
And with streaming, you can't watch in real time, so there goes my lunch-hour activity.
To clarify costs: "Peacock has three payment tiers: free, $4.99 a month for “Premium,” and $9.99 a month for “Premium Plus.” NBC confirmed to Nexstar that “Days of Our Lives” will only be available those paying $4.99 per month or more – Premium and Premium Plus subscribers."
I only had the $4.99 deal to watch Beyond Salem and another show, then returned to free. I simply cannot afford yet another paid streaming service. It adds up. While I will admit that Peacock offers a lot of good content, there is a limit to streaming services in our lives before we are overwhelmed. I feel overwhelmed. I have a television set for a reason.
This will definitely affect this board if the show can't even be streamed until nighttime. I plan to come here to read recaps, if they will still be up, even if later in the day.
Corporate greed is what it is. Not everyone prefers to watch shows on their computers if they can also watch on their larger screens.
NBC, you have disappointed me. This show was the one thing I looked forward to, my "afternoon delight."
I wouldn't be surprised if the show eventually went away completely, and this truly saddens me. Yes, we all complain about it, but we still watch. I will feel lost without it in my life.
