Which of these fixes do you think could help soap opera ratings?
» The story: ABC plans to show fewer soap episodes each year

I think broadcasting fewer episodes each week would help.
I think the networks should shrink each episode to just 30 minutes.
I like the idea of having the summer off to develop new stories for fall.
I think the soaps need more writers to spread story ideas around.
I don't think that it's possible to stop soaps' ratings from sinking.
I am not entirely sure how to stop soap operas from losing viewers.
