Prior to ABC's cancellations of the former two series in 2011, daily reruns of "All My Children", "One Life to Live" and "General Hospital" aired on the channel in that respective order as they had aired on ABC's daytime schedule. "All My Children" had the most airings on the channel airing four times each weekday, one in the morning and three at night. Rebroadcasts of each soap's episodes for the entire week aired each Saturday and Sunday during the late afternoon and nighttime hours; as of 2012, the network aired the past week's episodes of "Days of our Lives" in Sunday primetime.
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).
