Glad to hear that the soaps are financially healthy. Doesn't mean they won't get cancelled but I have higher hopes they make stick around for longer than I thought.

Exactly how I feel. Though some of us here disagree with some of the sentiment expressed in the article, a soap which virtually all of us want to stay on the air is getting extremely positive press in the top national paper.

I would certainly watch more if those three were focused on more, instead of the same boring ass characters that on everyday.

They want you to think it's all good but this may not be the reality. For some reason, I'm just not trusting anything any network or production company says. Too much water under that bridge......

It's just like 2010 where people panicked all year about the numbers and the show got a multi-year renewal. It's season to date numbers were much better and it's online numbers were said by Corday to be strong. That saved it and I think it's still saving them. NBC even said in this article that Days' numbers were good. That is a very good sign.

I have to watch Days online after work as I don't have a PVR. They're generating revenue every time a commercial airs between segments from online advertising. And another reason why Days is financially secure is, not sure if this was mentioned already, I believe Days makes a pretty penny from the iTunes $1.99 episodes. Apple takes an automatic 30% cut but the remainder is split between the studio(s), network, etc. In the past few week's I've bought about 10-11 episodes already and have another 10 saved in my wishlist. Prior seasons like the entire 2007-2008 is available for download for $10 - great deal imo.
