Confirmed: “Guiding Light” Cancelled–Series Finale Sept. 18
CBS has pulled the plug on television’s longest-running daytime drama.
After years of declining rates, Guiding Light will broadcast its series finale on Sept. 18, The New York Times has learned.
The 72-year-old soap opera, produced by Procter & Gamble, first aired as a radio sho in 1937. It was adapted for television in 1952 and has had a home on the small screen ever since.
CBS is expected to replace Guiding Light with a talk show or game show next fall.
