Did ABC consider airing The Edge of Night on its late night schedule?
Yes. Edge’s first ABC telecast (1 December 1975) was rerun as part of ABC’s Wide World Mystery, a late-night series of mystery/suspense films. In 1976, the network planned to air same-day rebroadcasts of Edge on its late-night schedule. However, the deal fell through when one of Edge’s actors wouldn’t agree to residual fee.
