CONFIRMED! General Hospital’s New Time Slot!

ABC/General Hospital Big Announcement!

Executives at ABC have been going back and forth with the decision to change General Hospital’s time slot yet again. Due to the cancellation of the Katie Couric show, Katie, ABC has decided to move the 51 year old soap opera back to 3PM Eastern/2PM Pacific time.

The Katie show first aired in September of 2012 on ABC at 3PM, taking the place of the longest soap opera still on air to this date, General Hospital. General Hospital moved to 2PM Eastern and it took some time for fans to get used to the change.

The Official General Hospital Facebook page has announced the change will take place on, Monday, September 8th, 2014. The change will take affect in these EIGHT areas:  San Antonio, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, and Raleigh-Duhram.

Does this time change work for you? What was more convenient, 2PM or 3PM?

Check out the confirmation here at Soap Opera Digest.

General Hospital New Time Slot

Well the rumors did come true, General Hospital will be going from 3PM Eastern/Standard time to 2PM Eastern Standard time. After almost 50 years of airing on ABC at 3PM, because of Katie Couric’s new show, that will change September 10th, 2012. I use this blog to talk about GH, give information, share opinions, and gush about favorite couples and characters. I don’t like negativity because I LOVE THIS SHOW. This time however, I can’t help but post in a negative way. It’s not about the character, actors, or the show. It’s about the situation. I do not understand why Katie Couric can’t go on at 2PM. Why make a change to something that has been the same for so many years, especially while it’s doing so well? My fear is that TPTB will use the new time slot as an excuse to get rid of GH. Using excuses like, “The 2PM slot just wasn’t working. There wasn’t enough audience.” I myself will watch at 2PM because this is my favorite show and I will always support it. But there are many people out there that may not for various reasons. I really hope I am completely wrong, and GH will stay strong at it’s new time. But all in all, I am and never will I be a Katie Couric fan. There is no need for this change and if GH tanks it is her fault.
