SOAPnet went off the air at midnight on New Year's Eve despite protests from soap fans who watched same day repeats of DAYS OF OUR LIVES and GENERAL HOSPITAL. Disney last month announced that SOAPnet would finally cease operations as part of a shift in corporate priorities.
"SOAPnet had a great run," Ben Pyne, president of global distribution for Disney Media Networks, said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times in November. "It served an audience of super-soap fans. And when given the opportunity, all of our affiliates kept the channel up and running."
Aside from watching DAYS OF OUR LIVES and GENERAL HOSPITAL live, or adding them to your DVR, there are other ways to catch both shows.
GENERAL HOSPITAL fans can visit watchabc.com to watch episodes online. DAYS OF OUR LIVES fans can watch at nbc.com. Both shows are available on Hulu. You can also find episodes "on demand" on some cable systems.
Same day repeats of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS and THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL air at night on TVGN.
