Set in the fictional town of Bay City, the series originally opened with announcer
Bill Wolff intoning its epigram, "We do not live in this world alone, but in a thousand other worlds," which Phillips said represented the difference between "the world of events we live in, and the world of feelings and dreams that we strive for." ''Another World'' focused less on the conventional drama of domestic life as seen in other soap operas, and more on exotic melodrama between families of different classes and philosophies.
In 1964, ''Another World'' was the first soap opera to talk about

On April 12, 1999, NBC announced it was canceling ''Another World''. Its final episode aired on June 25, 1999. It was replaced with another soap opera, ''

Development
In 1963, NBC approached PGP about Irna Phillips creating a new serial for them. She decided to base it on the concept of living not only in real life, but simultaneously living in an alternate world of hopes and desires.

She felt that with this kind of showy story she could build an audience more quickly." Said Tom Donovan, "In construction, Irna was attempting to follow the structure of ''As the World Turns''. Irna would never conceive of a story not based on a family."
Cancellation
On April 12, 1999, as part of a shakeup of the network's daytime and early morning schedules (in which NBC also canceled ''

'') in exchange for the withdrawal of the talk show ''

Many reasons abounded for ''Another World'' cancellation, with one of the more notable events occurring in the summer of 1998: the network's

The show spawned two
spin-offs: ''

A "viewer-directed," text-based continuation of the series called ''Another World Today'' existed online, initially sanctioned by TeleNext Media, the production arm of Procter & Gamble.
Airtimes
While individual NBC affiliates had the right to air any show whenever they wished, most of the affiliates (almost all of them, in the earlier days of television) aired the show when it would be transmitted to the network's direct affiliates.
On March 5, 1979, the show moved to 90 minutes, making it the first US soap opera to do so.
The show moved back to 60 minutes on August 1, 1980.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, when ''Another World'' was in its final ratings slump, many affiliates swapped ''Another Worlds time slot with ''
