It sounds like he respects daytime and will give the hard working men and women of daytime television, both those in front and behind the cameras, an award ceremony worthy of their accomplishments and talents. And perhaps he has enough connections around Hollywood to find a cable station willing to air the show and not let it languished on the internet. Let’s hope last year was rock bottom for the Daytime Emmy Awards and it will up and up from here on end.
I so agree with you… it was such an embarrassment …. it was incredibly disrespectful to the daytime actors that work so hard and have so much talent. They DESERVE at least one televised awards show a year to recognize then properly.
I do not watch the daytime emmys.
I do not care about the Price is Right or the Chew etc etc etc..
I watch the clips of the soaps awards the next day LOL and read who won ..
For everybody that sits through ”’all”’ the shows awards, you have patients 🙂
If the actors are good enough to be nominated why have they not been good enough to host the show. lately. Most soap actors can walk and talk at the same time the last emmy show was a joke. Sure GH lost which was good but the daytime emmy’s should be with daytime actors.

NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell Says Peacock Hit 18M Paid Subscribers Up From 15M In September
On Monday, during a webcast session at the UBS TMT investors conference, NBC Universal CEO, Jeff Shell shared that the NBCUniversal streaming service, Peacock has hit 18 million paid subscribers.

As soap fans know, Days of our Lives debuted exclusively in its new home on Peacock on September 12th, and viewers who watched on linear TV and NBC had to switch modes and pay-in for a subscription to watch the show. However, there has been no quantifying data released on just how well DAYS is performing on the platform.
In terms of its sustainability and its ad-supported streaming platform, Shell added: “We were late coming into streaming, but we clearly chose the right business model.” Shell noted that this strategy has helped offset declines in linear TV revenues, and a worsening advertising market.
The CEO went to explain: “We believe in the premium video ad-supported, dual revenue stream essential broadcast and cable on streaming, driven by key programming.” Shell also shared that declines in cable subscribers is putting pressure on affiliate fees and advertising rates, so it’s becoming more important than ever for Peacock revenues to offset falling cable TV revenues and that the TV ad business is “definitely getting worse.”
So, what do you think of the uptick of subscribers to Peacock since September? Is Days of our Lives a key player in this? Have you gotten use to watching your favorite soap on the streaming platform? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
