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.
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.
Brenner said "there's no animosity between me and them."
The syndicated "Nightlife", produced by Motown Productions in association with King World Productions, premiered on September 8, 1986 on 102 stations, approximately one-third of which were ABC affiliates.
