Guiding Light, America's longest running soap opera, airs final episode. In the end, the characters on television's longest-running soap opera lived happily ever after. The US show Guiding Light aired its final episode today, 72 years and more than 15,000 episodes after its first broadcast as a CBS radio programme in 1937. The show, the story of three families in fictional Springfield, USA, moved to television in 1952 and first broadcast in colour in 1967.
