After 72 years and over 15,700 episodes on television and radio, Guiding Light will come to an end on September 18th.
“No show in daytime or prime time, or anytime, has touched so many millions of viewers across so many years as GUIDING LIGHT,” said Barbara Bloom, Senior Vice President, Daytime Programs, CBS. “We thank the cast, crew and producers – past and present – who delivered this entertainment institution, the beloved characters and the time-honored stories to our audience every day for seven decades. It’s been a privilege to work with such an extraordinarily talented group of people.”
While I have to admit that Guiding Light is one of the few soaps I never watched, it is still a very sad day in daytime TV when one of them cancelled.
UPDATE: TV Week is reporting that it looks like Pyramid will be replacing the soap. Hopefully they will get Donny Osmond back as a host!!!
