On what channel did One Life to Live first air?
One Life to Live
Since the agreement made between ABC and Prospect Park was not limited to internet television and did allowed "One Life to Live" to be broadcast on traditional television, there was an announcement on August 3, 2011 about a possibility of "One Life to Live" airing on a cable channel. On October 5, 2011, the project to bring "One Life to Live" to cable was reiterated in a "New York Times" article, where it was revealed that Prospect Park planned to first air episodes on The Online Network, then make them available on television on demand and, then weeks later, on cable television.
One Life to Live
Since 1991, "One Life to Live" returned to the middle of the pack, but its numbers declined, in common with all other soap operas. By the decade's end, the show rested near the bottom of the ratings pack, and it continued to hover around the lower reaches of the weekly ratings throughout the 2000s in terms of total number of viewers; however, the show tended to rank in the mid-range for the target demographic of women aged 18–49, often higher than sister show "All My Children". During the 2000s (decade), "One Life to Live" ran about even with "As the World Turns", with NBC's "Another World" replacement "Passions" trailing significantly.

In its latter days, in an attempt to win back falling ratings, it was moved back to Saturday nights.

On May 17, 2013 The Online Network announced that "All My Children" and "One Life To Live" will no longer air five days a week together, due to viewer ratings that have been seen as certain patterns that resemble more closely the typical patterns of online viewing rather than how one would watch traditional television. Starting May 20, 2013 All My Children and One Life To Life will be presented in a new schedule, with AMC airing on Mondays and Wednesdays and OLTL airing Tuesdays and Thursdays. The recap shows "MORE All My Children" and "MORE One Life To Life" will also combine together as one show airing on Fridays. The following day on May 18, 2013, both shows were noticeably missing from the FX Canada website and schedule, and subsequently were available on iTunes Canada, it was later revealed that FX Canada dropped "All My Children" and "One Life To Live" due the reduction of episodes, the carriage agreement called for four episodes a week of both shows.

The new studio was 30% larger than "One Life to Live" previous one, and both "One Life to Live" and "All My Children" were to be taped and broadcast in high-definition (HD) after their moves.
Nightlife (talk show)
In February 1986, at the annual National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) conference, "Nightlife" was pitched as a late-night alternative to NBC talk shows "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" and "Late Night with David Letterman".
David Brenner was a frequent guest and regular fill-in host on "Tonight", much like another comic, Joan Rivers, whose own talk show debuted a month after "Nightlife". But whereas Rivers angered Carson by planning her show without consulting her mentor, Brenner spoke with Carson about his plans and received his blessing.

Live &amp; Kicking
"Live & Kicking" was conceived as a replacement for "Going Live!", a successful Saturday morning programme that had been running for six years. It was first broadcast on 2 October 1993 at 9 am on BBC1. The original hosts were Andi Peters, Emma Forbes who had presented a cookery segment in "Going Live!", and John Barrowman.

Once Upon a Time... Life
Il était une fois... la vie, also known as , is a French-Canadian-Belgian-Japanese-Swiss-Italian-Spanish animated television series which tells the story of the human body for children. The program was originally produced in France in 1987 by Procidis and directed by Albert Barillé.

Obese: A Year to Save My Life
Obese: A Year to Save My Life was a British documentary, reality, Weight loss show that was broadcast on Sky1 from 2 January to 27 February 2012, produced, directed and filmed by Luke Campbell and Adam Kaleta. Nine episodes were originally created for the first series, which starred American fitness expert Jessie Pavelka. Jessie helped nine morbidly obese British men and women help battle against their weight over the length of a year. The program finished after one series but was renamed and brought back in 2013 as "Fat: The Fight of My Life" which ran for another 10 episodes.
How to Survive a Marriage
The show did not profit from the large lead-in that the high-rated "Another World" provided, mostly due to its many attempts to be socially relevant, which usually took the place of traditional storytelling to which American soap viewers at the time were acclimated. "How to Survive a Marriage" ran a distant third in the 3:30 PM timeslot, behind "Match Game" on CBS (daytime TV's highest-rated program) and "One Life to Live" on ABC; a move to 1:30 PM on January 6, 1975 (to enable "AW" to expand to an hour) only brought worse ratings. Despite NBC's high hopes, "Survive" would survive for only sixteen months, ending on a Thursday (the 1:30pm–3:00pm block on NBC was pre-empted the following day for a 90-minute special "First Ladies Diaries: Rachel Jackson"). The Monday after, "Days of Our Lives" expanded to an hour and assumed the vacant half-hour left in NBC's daytime schedule. The program thus holds a rather dubious distinction as the victim of not only the first expansion of a soap opera to a full hour, but the first "two" (CBS did not expand any of its shows until December, and ABC did not until 1976).
One Life to Live
In June 2009, actress Patricia Mauceri (a performer on the series since 1995) was replaced in her role as Latin matriarch Carlotta Vega, reportedly after voicing personal religious objections to a planned storyline in which Carlotta would be supportive of a gay relationship.On July 7, 2011, ABC announced that it had licensed the rights to "One Life to Live" and "All My Children" to television, film and music production company Prospect Park, allowing both series to continue producing new first-run episodes beyond the conclusion of their television runs on ABC, with the series moving to a new Hulu-style online channel currently in development by Prospect Park; as a result of the company's acquisition of the two soap operas, "One Life to Live" and "All My Children", would become the first soap operas to transition their first-run broadcasts from traditional television to internet television.
Kyle Lewis
Kyle Lewis is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera "One Life to Live". He was originated by actor Brett Claywell on the episode first-run February 24, 2009, appearing on the serial through April 16, 2010. His pairing with Oliver Fish gained much popularity.

One Life to Live
On January 7, 2013, Prospect Park resumed its plan to continue "One Life to Live" as a daily 30-minute web series on Hulu and iTunes via The Online Network. The relaunched series premiered on April 29, 2013. The new series was plagued with several behind-the-scenes problems, most notably a litigation between Prospect Park and ABC regarding the misuse of "One Life to Live" characters on "General Hospital". On September 3, 2013, Prospect Park suspended production of the series until the lawsuit with ABC was resolved.
One Life to Live
After nearly 43 years on the air, ABC canceled "One Life to Live" on April 14, 2011. On July 7, 2011, production company Prospect Park announced that it would continue the show as a web series after its run on ABC, but later suspended the project. The show taped its final scenes for ABC on November 18, 2011, and its final episode on the network aired on January 13, 2012 with a cliffhanger.
Judith Light
In 1977, Light was called by her agent to audition for an understudy role in the ABC soap opera "One Life to Live". Having wanted never to be attached to a soap opera or a sitcom, she initially rejected the idea, until she was told that she would have a daily salary of $350. At the audition, she realized that "the format reaches a lot of people", and that she could thereby "make a difference" and "make money" at the same time. Instead of landing an understudy role, she was recast in the role of Karen Wolek, a role that had previously been portrayed by actresses Kathryn Breech and Julia Duffy. This role was quite lucrative for Light and spawned one of the show's most-remembered storylines; Light's character became an alcoholic prostitute after she became bored with her life as a housewife. On trial, Karen saved her friend Viki Lord Riley (Erika Slezak) from being convicted of killing Karen's pimp, Marco Dane (Gerald Anthony) by admitting to the entire town, including her faithful husband, Dr Larry Wolek (Michael Storm), that she had been a prostitute. Light's portrayal of Karen brought the show critical acclaim and is credited with garnering "One Life to Live" ratings successes from the late 1970s into the early 1980s. Light's dramatic, confessional courtroom performance of a housewife-turned-prostitute on the witness stand is regarded as one of the most memorable moments in television by "TV Guide". In 1980, this won Light her first Daytime Emmy Award for "Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series"; the scene in which she confessed her guilt in court is held in such high esteem that it is used in acting classes to the current day. Light recalled: "I was scared before those courtroom scenes. I was afraid to put myself out that much. With the agony of pulling it out piece by piece and having the prosecutor stick the knife in her gut, I couldn't help but let everything spew out of her."
Life (U.S. TV series)
"Life" premiered on September 26, 2007, on NBC, aired on Wednesday. NBC initially ordered thirteen episodes of the show: an original order of seven episodes, and then on October 10, 2007 placed an order for at least three additional episodes, later pinned down as six episodes. In November 2007 NBC placed an order for the balance of a full season, nine additional episodes. This would've brought the show's first season to a standard 22 episodes, with NBC stating it was hitting its creative stride. However, due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, only 11 of the 22 episodes were completed.

Billy Douglas (One Life to Live)

One Life to Live storylines (1968–1979)
The earliest storylines of "One Life to Live" focused on the blue collar, Polish Catholic Wolek family, and the super-rich Lords. Additionally, there was also the Rileys, although most of the latter were featured much less prominently.
Agnes Nixon
By the mid-1960s, Nixon had created a blueprint for what would become "All My Children". ABC executives passed on the program, due to contractual issues with sponsor Lever Brothers, who sponsored a program that "All My Children" would replace in its time slot. Consequently, they asked her to create a show that would reflect a more "contemporary" tone; that creation was "One Life to Live". Nixon, "tired of the restraints imposed by the WASPy, non-controversial nature of daytime drama", presented the network with a startlingly original premise and cast of characters. Although the show was built along the classic soap formula of a rich family (the Lords) and a poor family (the Woleks), "One Life to Live" emphasized the ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of the people of Llanview, Pennsylvania, a fictional Main Line suburb of Philadelphia."
One Life to Live
Beginning July 15, 2013, "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" aired for a 10-week limited engagement on the Oprah Winfrey Network Monday through Thursday at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM.

One Life to Live
On April 18, 2013, after Prospect Park had announced they would be reviving the series, Prospect Park filed a lawsuit against ABC, alleging ABC failed to honor its part of their licensing agreement. Among the issues named in the lawsuits included ABC's alleged attempts to sabotage Prospect Park's revival of the soap by killing off "One Life to Live" characters loaned to "General Hospital" (Cole and Hope Thornhart), failure on ABC's part to consult Prospect Park on storylines involving "One Life to Live" characters (breaking up popular "One Life to Live" couple, John and Natalie to pair Michael Easton's John McBain with former "Port Charles" love interest, Kelly Monaco's Sam Morgan, the death of Tea Delgado's baby and the subsequent switching of her baby with Sam Morgan's live baby, orchestrated by Howarth's Todd Manning), as well as claiming one "One Life to Live" character, Tomas Delgado, was actually "General Hospital" character, Lorenzo Alcazar. Effective immediately, the three "One Life to Live" characters bound to contracts with ABC were to exit the show, and the three actors who played them, Kristen Alderson, Michael Easton and Roger Howarth were rewritten back onto the "General Hospital" canvas playing new characters, while Howarth also crossed his character of Todd back over to "One Life to Live" for its inaugural season.
Lorraine Broderick
Broderick then joined "Port Charles" as an Associate Head Writer, before being appointed head writer of "One Life to Live" in January 2001. In 2003, she was demoted to associate head writer upon the return of famed "One Life to Live" writing team Michael Malone and Josh Griffith. At that time, ABC Daytime President Brian Frons offered Broderick a return to the head writing duties at "All My Children", but she declined. Broderick left "One Life to Live" altogether in 2004, returning to "Guiding Light" for a short stint as Associate Head Writer, during the show's transition to a new head writing team.

In November 1980, season two of "The Facts of Life" premiered in a Wednesday 9:30 p.m. time slot, where it immediately flourished, peaking in January 1981 with a 27.4 rating and 41 share; it ranked #4 for the week. The program became NBC's fourth highest-rated scripted series, after "Little House on the Prairie", "Diff'rent Strokes" and "CHiPs". By the third season, the series moved time slots to 9:00 p.m. Wednesdays and soon became NBC's highest-rated comedy series and NBC's #2 overall series, after "Real People". For its seventh season, it moved to Saturdays at 8:30 p.m., to bolster the premiering series "The Golden Girls" at 9:00 p.m. in the newly formed Saturday night comedy block.

Michael Storm
Storm has appeared on many television shows, but is recognized by many for his role as original character Dr. Larry Wolek on the ABC soap opera, "One Life to Live", a role he played as a lead character from 1969 through 1992, and in a recurring capacity continually from 1992 until 2004. He was preceded in the role of Larry by his real-life brother, Jim Storm, who, in turn, had been preceded by Paul Tulley. In the storyline, Jim's Larry Wolek was badly burned in a fire and underwent plastic surgery, and Michael's Larry Wolek was revealed when the bandages were removed. This new plot device would prove so successful that many other shows, including "Dynasty" (and "One Life to Live" itself in later years), would use it when recasting key characters.

One Life to Live
Rumors about a potential cancellation of "One Life to Live" arose from "TV Guide Canada" in late 2009, after ABC announced that it was moving "All My Children" from New York City to Los Angeles. "One Life to Live"'s lone presence in New York among the ABC soap operas, along its non-transition to HD and its struggling ratings, made it a program at risk of cancellation. The article from "TV Guide Canada" also pointed that once "One Life to Live" is cancelled, some of the actors could be offered to join the cast of "All My Children" in Los Angeles. In May 2010, rumors of possible cancellation of not only "One Life to Live", but this time of also "All My Children" and "General Hospital", resurfaced when Disney–ABC Television Group officially announced that it was shutting down SOAPnet, effective in 2012. After a failed attempt to give Aisha Tyler a talk show in 2009, ABC restarted auditioning a few pilot shows as candidates for its daytime lineup. At this point, "All My Children" had the lowest ratings so rumors began heating up in March 2011 about the show's demise, with hints that "One Life to Live" was safe for a while longer. However, early in April 2011, rumors suggested that both "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" were in danger of cancellation.

After months of cancellation rumors, ABC announced on April 14, 2011 that "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" would end their runs.

The network stated it was replacing "One Life to Live" with a new production entitled "The Revolution", which would focus on health and lifestyles. While the cancellations of both soap operas were announced on the same day, "One Life to Live" was to remain on the air four months longer because its replacement would not be ready until later. In response to the cancellations, vacuum cleaner manufacturer Hoover withdrew its advertising from all ABC programs out of protest.
