More like Days is going on hiatus for a few weeks due to the Olympics so SN needs something to fill up the space. The've aired a block of classic episodes for this in the past. Its not about trying to be relevant and kiss soap fans asses

This was interesting. SoapNet's ratings for all shows for an entire week.

Some numbers, especially Y&R's, are impressive given how many systems have dropped SoapNet.

An episode of Veronica Mars garnered a whopping 5,000 viewers.

I think that's the rating they got on UPN...

Thanks for sharing. Love seeing that the "classic" AMC episodes are the most watched of the three shows airing "classic" episodes. They're not in the best era ever but, still, it's good! ;-).

I find it the most interesting that Sara Bibel is now working in the ABC press department, it seems.

Dang, Young & Restless repeats are Soapnet's bread & butter!

They have been for the past few years!

Statements like this one make absolutely no sense. What next? ESPN Classics trying to be relevant and kiss sports fans asses by showing classic sports matches?

BJ's death or Stone's death? Can't we get both?

AMC's most-watched repeat got 77,000 viewers. OLTL's most-watched repeat got 29,000 viewers. :lol: :lol:

The marathons are always given to GH. Tis one should've been given to DAYS since it's fillnig the gap where DAYS would be.

I am sure it easier to do GH marathons since the show is owned by ABC, it probably would have been a different process to get classic Days episodes wouldn't it?
