Soap Opera Digest: Well, the big news is that DAYS is moving to the streaming service Peacock on September 12. Tell us everything!
Ken Corday: It’s very exciting. This was baked into the last contract when we were renewed in 2021. The network always had the right to migrate the show exclusively to Peacock and now they’ve decided to do so, and we’re excited. The bottom line is, that this is the future. Whether people believe it now, or in a year or two, this is the future of first-run dramatic television. Let’s just hope the migration is wonderful and our loyal viewers stick with us and subscribe.
Digest: Do you think the success of BEYOND SALEM played a factor here?
Corday: Yes, definitely. I think that BEYOND SALEM, as wonderful as they were, were, in a way, a litmus test for Peacock to see how the show performed exclusively behind the paywall. Certainly, the last one did very well, CHAPTER 2, and knowing that they felt the best way to boost subscriptions was to migrate us, I think BEYOND SALEM has had a lot to do with it.
Digest: Are you concerned that people might be reluctant to watch on a different platform?
