Members ChitHappens Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 There's nothing wrong with wanting at all. I'm not moving to predominantly internet viewing until I absolutely have to. I'm just saying that the shows were removed from TV and the option is internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 I still have soapnet, and love it. Watch 90210 and Veronica Mars all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted May 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 I thought the original plan was to replace Soapnet with Disney Junior, circa January 2012. I was unaware that Disney Junior was able to be launched while sparing Soapnet. That's certainly a good reason to put them on Soapnet. But, it seems as if the main point of the network (originally) was to air same day repeats of soaps, so re-airing AMC/OLTL goes along with that purpose. I wasn't aware that the PP/ABC contract prohibits these shows from going on television until September. Even then, however, I could totally see Hulu trying to block both shows from being seen on Soapnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 The "not till September" contract is actually with Hulu not with ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted May 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 That makes sense, because Hulu is the party that will suffer most if AMC/OLTL are shown on TV. Thank you for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted November 11, 2013 Members Share Posted November 11, 2013 It's time. SOAPnet has unfortunately been dead for many years now. It was SO promising in the beginning. It's too bad it couldn't be an over-the-air network that doesn't have to really worry as much about ratings. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted November 11, 2013 Members Share Posted November 11, 2013 I always try to watch DAYS on there so I don't have to online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapsnstuds Posted November 12, 2013 Members Share Posted November 12, 2013 I gave up watching SOAPNet about a year ago when I realized I could watch General Hospital via OnDemand. Don't even get me started on how much stuff I gave up when I bought a Roku back in March and hooked it up to my TV. Pretty much 75% of everything I had been watching pre-Roku. I agree, though, SOAPNet was downright thrilling circa 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
