New episodes of the online versions of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” are being pared down to twice-a-week this Monday.
New episodes of “AMC” will debut Mondays and Wednesdays, while new episodes of “OLTL” will premiere Tuesdays and Thursdays, according to the shows’ producer, Prospect Park.
Both shows premiered April 29 on Hulu, Hulu Plus and iTunes. According to Prospect Park chiefs Jeff Kwatinetz and Rich Frank, the moves are being made to keep from overloading viewers with content — making the experience more akin to how viewers watched the shows during their runs on ABC.
“In the past these shows had their vast majority of views within the first 24 hours,” they said in a statement. “Instead, our shows are primarily consumed on different days than when they originally air.
“Primarily, fans have been binge-viewing or watching on demand, and as a result, we feel we have been expecting our audience to dedicate what has turned out to be an excessive amount of time to viewing these shows.”
