[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 261641, member: 27"] That was the original strategy of SoapNet. back when niche cable channels were viewed as the 'wave of the future'. ABC/Disney created the channel expressly to re-air their afternoon soaps in prime time (and touted it as the new, shiny thing). By the time I got the channel they'd tried to diversify, adding Days and Y&R, but it was the victim of terrible management and 'mission creep' (reality shows). But it [B]was[/B] really nice to watch [I]One Life to Live[/I] every evening. And of course by the time they ended SoapNet there were only four network soaps left--with only one of them on ABC. Ironically, the only soap they did not air in the evenings at some point was....B&B! [/QUOTE]
