Makes sense, GH is avaliable to watch online. You can view the episode you missed anytime. But you can't view OLTL or AMC online, so if you don't have tivo, soapnet is the best way to go.

Exactly now that GH is available online that is where the soapnet audience can get there fix as far as OLTL/AMC the difference from them is so little that it doesn't even matter.

Actually, OLTL is available online on YouTube. Full episodes are posted daily there. Just do a search for One Life to Live.

I wonder what numbers ABC considers successful. Does it look at other basic cable stations like Syfy, USA, or TNT and want to receive millions of viewers or is it satisfied with 500K?
What is SoapNet's highest rated program this year? What were the ratings like for the GH spinoff, Nightshift? Premiered at 1 million viewers:

It's next highest rated program was Southern Belles, http://bit.ly/southern_belles, and it had similar ratings to OLTL, about 500K.
In comparison, look at ratings for other women centric programs on rival stations:
If soaps got these numbers on SoapNet, ABC would not hesitate to pump money into their soaps.

Still say that these soaps should be available on ON Demand.

Congrats to OLTL! Keep it up and *maybe* you'll have a chance of not getting cancelled next year.
