Soapnet (stylized as SOAPnet) was an American basic cable and satellite television channel that was owned by the Disney-ABC Television Group division of The Walt Disney Company. The channel broadcast current and past soap operas, and prime time dramas.
Due in part to a general decline in the soap opera genre as a whole and the increasing use of video on demand services, Disney announced in 2010 that Soapnet would be replaced by the new preschool-oriented network Disney Junior; however, Soapnet continued to operate following the launch of Disney Junior (with some TV providers carrying both). In November 2013, Disney eventually confirmed that Soapnet would be discontinued after December 31, 2013. The network ceased operations a minute before midnight the same day.
