Soap opera "As the World Turns" taped its 13,858th and final episode at its Brooklyn, N.Y., studios on Thursday, ending its storied run on CBS.
Since daytime soaps tape several weeks in advance, the final episode of "World" will air in September.
TeleNext Media, the show's producer, said it has been trying to find a new outlet for the show. Brian T. Cahill, senior VP and managing director of TeleNext Media, said: “Regrettably, we have not found an outlet or platform that will carry the show forward. This is an extremely disappointing outcome to what was a tireless and exhaustive pursuit."
