This is not the first time CBS cancelled a daytime“Guiding Light” has also been cancelled by CBS. Procter & Gamble are the ones responsible for making “As The World Turns” and “Guiding Light” an awesome drama series.
CBS and other networks have continued to cancel daytime drama TV series because daytime dramas have been fading as a genre for years with more women joining the work force and the increased number of channels offering alternatives like news, talk, reality and game shows.
