The thing With Prospect Park that I think some miss is that they have all this experience but TOLN is new. Its not just a website. Its internet TV. TOLN is much more than just AMC & OLTL. I actually love that PP admitted they need more money & are looking 2 investors in the silicon valley. To me its great they R being honest. I see honesty not doom & gloom. Yes we may have to wait a while longer to see AMC & OLTL on-line but im good with that. Im all for what will make these shows great productions and in turn keep them viable for years if not decades to come.
TOLN will have more than just soaps and its not easy to start a new network wether broadcast (Ask UPN, WB, CW) Or Cable (Ask Oprah--OWN) & Internet TV station has never been done and PP has to deal with the unions to get the best deal that will allow future internet shows just to happen without hangups. Thats a lot. Some just think its a website, its a snap of the fingers and its not.
Lets be honest if ur a cable provider and u look at soapnet and how that went, would u greenlight a new soap network. I doubt it. Never really understood how the coupons work and why they have to go to an individual and not just the cable companies. If a cable company greenlit an all soap channel what if we had no content? What if ABC/Sony?Bell/P&G didnt allow their shows on that channel. Then all this would be for nothing. Have folks in this soap coupons movement even thought about that?

EXACTLY!!!! Furthermore, coupons collecting dust in someone's house hasn't assisted in saving the soaps, and won't. Maybe someone should actually count the damned things before claiming they have made any impact at all. (After counting them...get them verified).
When you say look at Soapnet maybe that's EXACTLY what you should do..Soapnet only came to be because of US, ABC set up a number for soap fans to call and request soapnet similar to the Coupon concept. How do you know the coupons are collecting dust unless you're there?
It's all well and good to say that PP needs to do things behind closed doors, have you ever thought the same thing may be happening with the Coupon campaign?
You seem to do a lot of judging of the coupons but get offended when people question PP?
Are you going to be satisfied if the shows don't go on for a year? How about if only one goes on? How about if neither of them make it...things to think about.....
