ATWT/GL Question

Would it have worked it both shows were dropped to a half an hour each, in an effort to cut costs and just have a rotating cast, with those only on contract for a storyline?

Anyone think that could have bought them a few more years or do you think it wouldn't have made a difference?

The casts would have been smaller, but that would have been the biggest savings. If the programs were taping at the same time, they would still need separate crews and locations. Supposedly it is cheaper to have one, one hour program than two half hour ones.

Well.... If they had had ATWT/GL block shoot every 6 months and sharing the same studio, I'm sure that would have been very cost effective. They could have been paying the same crew members year round to do ATWT January-June, GL July-December. Something like that would have had to take careful planning and a person with competent leadership.

Honestly I don't think they were interested in trying to save either ATWT or GL.
