Soapnet
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.
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.
