I wasn't sure whether people would find this interesting or not but hey it's going to be slow around here with the the two week break coming up. According to Soap Opera Digest, several sources say Days is considering moving out of their current Burbank studio this fall and into the Glendale studio where All My Children was taped and most recently used by Hollywood Heights. |

Maybe one plus of the move could be that Days will have to shut down for a little while to make the move and thus cut down on far ahead they are taping. |

I'm curious if this other studio is cheaper, better (larger) or more centrally located. Basically, I'm wondering what the motivation is since it is not economic chump change to make this move. |

Isnt this going to cost a lot of money? Dont know if its a good sign if AMC was soon canceled after moving there. ETA...as for location. I dont think location matters. Closer to what? This is more a residential part of LA county and on the border of Glendale. (Maybe that's why they say Glendale.) Burbank is an actual city and not LA. I guess as far as space it depends on DAYS. Who knows how many stages they get? Its not WB studios or Paramount. Edited by Liz<3Days, Jul 21 2012, 05:12 PM.

Maybe we'd get new/refreshed sets out of it. |

Maybe this is a cost cutting move. I would say they could be confident this will help them save money and stay on the air longer. However, look what happened to AMC after they moved to this studio. There was nothing in the SOD article about the size of the studio or why Days is considering this move. Edited by dc cubs, Jul 21 2012, 05:46 PM.

I remember when they were talking about All My Children taking it that it didn't have alot of trendy places (eateries, etc) around it compared with what they had in NYC. So I got the impression it was off the beaten path. |

It'd probably be an opportunity to not move sets that dont get frequent use anymore. |

DAYS current studio is probably better from everything I've heard in the past. If it saves the show and gives them more money for casting, wardrobe, etc. then I'm all for it. I can't imagine them moving studios though. That would be crazy. |

Well, you really can't compare NYC to Atwater Village. Having been to both locations, AV is a new families pocket of LA. Its also close to Silver Lake and that's pretty trendy. Actors, like Keifer Sunderland have houses by the Reservoir. Its not off the beaten path...more about locals then tourists. I dont know if it would be a cost cutting move because doesnt NBC own the Burbank property? There's been articles in the LA Times that much of NBC is moving to these new studios that Universal are constructing adjacent to Citywalk. |

I don't know if the studio move had anything to do with this or not, but AMC went from looking like shit in New York to actually having decent production values, decent looking (bigger) sets and better lighting when they moved to Andrita Studios in Glendale. I recall articles talking about how much bigger it was than the New York studio and how it would cut production costs because the larger space allowed them to leave sets up permanently rather than constantly having to dismantle them. I don't know how much bigger that space is than NBC Studios in Burbank though. Here are some articles about the move from 2008:

if it saves money than I understand, but there is so much history in the current studio. Have they been there since 1965? |

Thanks for posting the articles. Hmm...its true that they may save money by having more permanent set, but that not all the stuff DAYS uses at the lot. They have whole warehouses of storage with old/non-permanent sets. Also, I wonder if NBC would have to pay for the space in addition to the cost of moving? As for comparing space in NYC and LA...LA always gives you more space per square foot because they have the square footage to give. |

Between 1983 and 1989 they used Sunset Gower Studios. |

There were some posts about this 2 weeks ago because as of July 1st NBC stopped giving the studio tour in Burbank & it was Also discussed that the property had been sold so either Days has to rent the space from the new owner or move |

AMC did improve greatly in the show's appearance. I'm not sure if they hired new people or if it was part of the studio change. Their sets got way better too. If that happens on DAYS than I'm also for it. I know OLTL filmed in a tiny shit hole basement in NY. Not sure if that was the case with AMC, but I doubt it. |

I think the move also coincided with AMC's transition to HD though, so that would have accounted for some of that. They moved/upgraded some sets from NYC and recreated a bunch in LA with the HD upgrade in mind. I dont think Days overall visual look is going to change much until they get some better people for lighting and production design. With Days, it seemed like they just turned HD cameras on to less-than SD sets. Edited by Drew, Jul 21 2012, 06:54 PM.
