Welcome back All My Children and One Life to live

SOAPS   TOLN   

     Here at Joshuaonline we've been writing posts about news of soaps being canceled and finales coming soon, we did for "One Life to Live" in January 2012  , we did for "All My Children" in September 2011  .   Soaps being canceled was a yearly report  from 2007-2011 pretty much as daytime  is being transfused into talk shows and other cheap (cost)  programming . "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" were also reported to be moving online back in 2011,though that seemed lost by mid-2012 we did get the official announcement .

      So now today April 29th 2013, they are  both back  now online.
     Here's how you can watch it    , on Hulu  you can watch on any  computer  here (All My Children) , (One Life To Live)  . If you have Hulu Plus you can watch on a mobile device  , and on a Roku ®  box .

You can watch the full episodes after the jump , they are 30 minutes now

The Flash Back : Disney Channel is 30 Now

    

 The Flashback   

     On this day in  1983 in television history , Disney's  network came on the air  Disney Channel or at the time called The Disney Channel , the "the" was removed in 1997.  
  as seen in the first logo  :
image : wikipedia 

  Video 
  video : youtube
When Disney Channel launched  it was  premium channel like  HBO, it ran  about 18 hours day  From 7AM-1AMET.    Meaning they would say good night at 1AMET  as seen in the video  below:
 Video
 video: youtube

  Early programming  included programs like : "Welcome to Pooh Center". They also aired classic Disney shorts, movies including premire movies, as well as nature ,and other learning programs. The channel had a foucs on kids and their parents.
Video
 video: youtube

  Later on the 80's  Disney Channel expanded to a full 24 hour  programming line up.  They launched  a program called  "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" in 1988 which wasn't popular but  became the launching pad for "Saved by The Bell" which has high cult fame.
Video
 video: youtube

   It later added  a revival of "The Micky Mouse Club" later started growing in viewers and subscribers by  the 1990's . In 1997 ,changes  started coming as mentioned before the name was changed from "The Disney Channel"to "Disney Channel" , and it made  a move to basic cable.
Video
   video:youtube
    They also started adding in breaks between shows , we say breaks since in essence they weren't advisement  they were mostly promotions for other Disney Channel shows or other Disney properties this still continues to this day.   They also started an increased amount of original programming , while still airing syndicated shows.

 Also,  it has been announced that current Saturday and Sunday Morning host, Chris Hayes, will be moving to the 8PMET weeknight slot.  His program "UP with Chris Hayes" started back in 2011, as MSNBC stared expanding it's opinion programming into weekends. This also continues the trend of MSNBC airing less documentary/reality programs , which it was known for,  and expanding it's opinion programs it also expanded it's weekend news blocks as well.

The Flashback : TV for the Morning Crowd

The FlashBack UK
  Our Flashback series here on Joshuaonline continues but this time we go across the pond , mostly because we at Flashback want to spread your wonder on the world of Television , or we may be a bit mad can't tell.
 So , Morning Television or the as the Brits call it Breakfast Television but unlike here in America it hasn't run that long compared.  1983 was the year The UK as a whole found a new concept of  Television before 9AM at least.
  First , January 17th 1983 , the BBC launched their morning show "Breakfast Time" on BBC1 , now they were the first morning national show in Britain beating rivals ITV.  What was this morning show like?
Here's a youtube video of it by Transdiffision


  About 1:54 into the video is when the real action happens.  First the theme music is great very morning, then again I would hope for a morning show to sound morning like.  At 3:11 in you see the set, it looks cozy, and there are lots of people there very active. At 3:13 you see one of the hosts (presenters) his name is Frank Bough  and he welcomes us to the show.
 The time was Mondays-Fridays  6:30-9AM  and BBC's morning show was light format  and one thing I like is that hosts seem causal and not  that scary over chipper you get in our American morning shows.  Watch the 13 minute video , we'll wait for you.

Ok now we jump a head to February 1st 1983 , and BBC1 had a competitor called ITV (still do) , and they launched their new breakfast service. 3 things you should know , From the 1950's to 2000's  ITV was made up of different companies  covering a region eg: in The North East  their ITV company was Tyne Tees Television. The Morning was contracted to a new company to provide a national breakfast service to air on the ITV network. The name was called TV-AM.

Here's the video of their first day again From Transdiffusion

   TV-AM , was like we said was a channel on a channel , so it had programms of it's own to fill it's time. Before we get to the video , there is something you need to know about TV AM , it's a cause of mis judging.  When it was announced that TV AM was going to start in 1983 , the BBC decided they had to hurry up and get a morning program, (Hence Breakfast Time). The BBC thought that ITV's new breakfast was going to light and fun so the BBC's plan was to make a morning program that was light and fun. While TV AM thought the BBC's morning show was going to be 2 people in suits behind a desk and a morning version of an evening news high brow show.  So TV AM went High Brow to compete. When the BBC announced the date , TV-AM got to move up theirs. But the problem was TV AM thought wrong about Breakfast time's format.
   Back to the video,  The First thing you hear is TV AM's  music very nice isn't it? I really do like it.
Around 2:20 you see the beginning of the first broadcast.Just look at those titles.  You see their set around 2:51 ,at 2:53 guy in a suit, David Frost. They explain the shows for a bit. At 5:39 in the video you see the opener for Daybreak , TV-AM's news show.  Just in case you didn't know it was a news show they did it in a news room and more guys in suits.  Stay tuned you will an interesting for a clock radio, TV,  tape player and more now that's awesome!  At 10:10 Daybreak ends and now it's time for "Good Morning Britain" which starts at 10:37, those titles are impressive and the music is very original.  And the clock Appears for the first time.

CNN adds Cuomo

CNN  Cable News 

    CNN has made an announcement  that Current ABC News "20/20" co-host , Chris Cuomo is to join.  He was the news anchor on "Good Morning America" until 2009 . This is the 2nd ABC News Anchor/Reporter to leave after Jake Tapper left to CNN last month, he will be hosting a new show in the afternoons.
  According to  a memo to staff from Jeff Zucker  on TV Newser it seems aht Cuomo will be doing something in the mornings.

I want to share some exciting news with you.
This morning we are announcing that Chris Cuomo is joining CNN.
Chris will be an anchor on a new morning show we are going to develop for CNN. He will also be an important part of our event news coverage across the network. Chris has deep experience in both roles, most recently at ABC News, and he’s one of the smartest, most engaging journalists in television news. I’m pleased that he’s joining us and really looking forward to working with him at CNN. The press release with the news follows. Thanks.
JEFF

      For now , it is unknown weather he will be a co-host with current  7-9AMET , host Soledad O'Brien  or if she will be moved to a different time. If it's the latter it would the 2nd time she would  have lost a morning slot on CNN.
       But there is more to the story, current ABC World News weekend anchor  David Muir  is set to become the next co-host of "20/20"  , of course staying as the weekend anchor of "World News". Read more about that here.

The FlashBack : 10 years ago January 17th

The FlashBack : Taking you back in sometime in Television   

   

    Here is something to make you feel old (sorry)  On January 17th 2013 , a TV show that was a hit for Disney Channel first appeared 10 years ago. "That's So Raven" premiered on Disney Channel on Jaunary 17th 2003.  It was when Disney Channel was testing the waters of original programs  , Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens were doing well , why not add a 3rd show when the other two were close to ending. 

  The program incase , you forgot, stars Raven-Symone` of Cosby show fame , she plays Raven a girl with physic powers  but just in case you think that would be a cool power until you see her get in trouble or things going wrong since she can only see a small part the future in a vision.  

 It ran on Disney Channel from 2003-2007, was rebroadcast on ABC Saturday Mornings from 2003 until ABC gave up on Children's shows in 2011. It also was the first Disney Channel made show to get a spinoff and go over 65 episodes. 

After the Jump : there's a video of the theme song. that will make you feel a bit happy or old or both.
