Brian Scott Frons (born June 15, 1956) is an American television executive and the former president of ABC Daytime. ==CBS and NBC== Brian Frons first worked at CBS Daytime from 1978 to 1983. He left CBS in 1983 to join NBC Daytime, where he stayed during the rest of the 1980s as vice president.〔 In 1986, he canceled ''Search for Tomorrow'' which was at the time the longest running soap opera in television, but also the lowest-rated program among the 14 daytime soap operas on the air that year.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/05/arts/nbc-drops-35-year-old-soap-opera.html Paid New York Times article〕 〔Waggett (1997). "Soap Opera Nielsen Ratings". ''Soap Opera Encyclopedia''. pp. 626-628.〕 Frons gained media attention in 1989 when he made a guest appearance in an episode of ''Santa Barbara'', playing the role of God in a dream of character Mason Capwell (Lane Davies). During his time at NBC, Frons also introduced ''Generations'', the first soap opera to feature an African-American family from its inception. He cited : ::"I just didn't see the point of another soap about the same types of people. It didn't take a rocket scientist to see that a lot of shows on in prime time several years ago did not deal with older people. So Brandon (Tartikoff) gave us ''Golden Girls''. Well, the same thing goes for daytime now. You don't see many black characters. And blacks certainly watch daytime TV. So this decision wasn't exactly a brainer. It was just about time." 〔http://articles.philly.com/1988-11-02/news/26246489_1_soap-brian-frons-diverse-families, citing〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brian Frons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
