CBS may soon decide to pull the plug on "Guiding Light," the longest-running daytime drama in television history.
While no final decision has been made, the network's deal for the Procter & Gamble-produced drama-the least watched of the eight daytime serials currently on the air-ends in September. But if CBS does drop "Guiding Light," it likely would lock in a decision within the next month, people familiar with the matter said. That would give writers a chance to tie up storylines.
CBS also would need to finalize new programming for the daytime hour that "Guiding Light" would be vacating.
