In honor of the show’s 60th anniversary, fans of ABC’s “General Hospital” can now watch “classic” episodes of their favorite daytime drama series anytime, courtesy of the all-new “General Hospital Spotlight” channel, available exclusively on ABC.com and the ABC App.
Similar to Pluto TV’s offering select episodes of “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” with its Soaps Channel, the “General Hospital” episodes are available unlocked, which means they are free to watch with no login required.
The new channel by ABC is part of a growing list of FAST (free, ad-supported television) offerings by media companies looking to combat streaming service hesitancy by viewers while also receiving additional ad revenue in the process.
