Young Lives soap aims at teens but draws FCC heat
A syndicated 30 minute teen soap Young Lives from Post Newsweek Productions targets adolescents with plots about sex, drugs, and family conflicts. Critics note the show risks parental backlash while hoping to capture a lucrative teen audience at the NATPE convention. The piece contrasts the program with didactic early afternoon options and recalls ancient calendars in a closing sidebar.
