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.
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. For the second series, Barrowman was relegated to hosting the showbiz "Electric Circus" segment, leaving Peters and Forbes to become the main hosts. He left after one series of Electric Circus to concentrate on acting. Comedy duo Trevor and Simon and Peter Simon, in the "Run the Risk" segment, were also regulars who had featured on "Going Live!".
