I really miss SOAPnet and The Hub. These 2 channels were so much fun.

I'm a huge soap fan, particularly "Days of our Lives". I also like "All My Children", "Port Charles", "Passions", & "Sunset Beach". I'd love for a new soap channel to be introduced that just airs classic soaps but the likelihood of that is near impossible.

The Hub aired awesome shows when it first premiered then gradually got worse.

Hard to argue with those two.

I miss The Hub also. I liked it when they played Sabrina, Facts of Life and Blossom. I also miss the old TV Land and Nick at Nite. They used to play great shows. I remember on New Years Eve they would play series finales and on New Years Day they would play series pilots.

Noggin, Sprout, the old Playhouse Disney, and The Hub

Also, I dont know what the confused face is doing up there

I miss the Hub a great deal even though I'm not sure I'd still be watching if it still existed. It's become a deeply nostalgic spot in my memory.

I miss the original Nick at Nite. I miss the original TV Land.

Neither one is recognizable now compared to then.

CBN- At night when it ran the classics
HA- TV network
The comedy channel
Wometco home Theatre (WHT- The movie network)
G4

I miss the original Nick at Nite. I miss the original TV Land.

just about everyone misses them.

SOAPnet's still around; they've changed their name to POP and they don't show very many soap operas anymore.

Pop was originally The prevue guide, then became The TV Guide network, then became POP.

SOAPnet's still around; they've changed their name to POP and they don't show very many soap operas anymore.While POP airs two soaps, they were never Soapnet, that channel went out of existence totally. POP used to be TVGN (TV Guide Network), and awhile back before TV Guide owned it, the Prevue channel that had listings scrolling on the screen.

I miss the original Nick at Nite. I miss the original TV Land.

I agree.

I miss The WB. They had some great shows back in the day.

Actually, SOAPnet became Disney Jr.

The channel must be owned by CBS because those are the soaps they currently air. I've never been a fan of the CBS soaps.

The channel must be owned by CBS because those are the soaps they currently air. I've never been a fan of the CBS soaps.It is owned by CBS, which is why that channel airs Big Brother After Dark every year now. At one point Days of Our Lives repeated at 8PM after the CBS soaps but that didn't last long.

Regarding SOAPnet, did it last longer in certain markets than others? I remember during Hurricane Sandy (Oct. 2012) that the TV on the treadmill in the hotel gym was tuned into SOAPnet .

I recall others saying that they lost that channel way before that.



Anyway, I miss:

Chiller
FearNet
NickGas / Noggin
The Hub

Noggin, Sprout, the old Playhouse Disney, and The Hub

Agreed on all four of those. Miss those very much.

The HubI don't remember the year Soapnet left my area, it was eventually replaced with El Rey. I know I still got Soapnet when they aired Gilmore Girls (the one and only show I ever watched on the network).

FamilyNet, specifically back when it had the Sony owned retro shows.

The Biography Channel -Got me thru some snow days.
SoapNet
G4 - I enjoyed Web Soup

Ah, yes, the Biography Channel, which morphed into FYI. It should have been renamed The Garbage Channel. Or, The Junk Even A&E Won't Show.

I miss NickGas that was a cool channel. I like Soapnet they had a old General Hospital marathon once and I was able to record a bunch of episodes from the 80’s. It did last longer in some areas I wanna say directv held onto it longer than other carriers.

I miss The N as well.

I miss The WB, The Hub, and Toon Disney...I wish they didn't go...

I agree. Disney XD should go and Toon Disney should come back.

There's no channels I really miss besides The Hub when it first started out. Once they started relying on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (it was their cash cow after all) and began overplaying the life out of it and cancelled Dan Vs, I gave up.

Well SoapNet was originally scheduled to go off the air in 2012, but for a variety of reasons (mostly due to a delay in launching Disney JR) it continued to air on many cable systems well into 2013.

In December 2013, SoapNet officially went off-the-air forever being replaced by Disney Jr.

My answer to the original post are as follows:

I’ve always hoped (and still do) that there would be an all Soaps streaming channel/network.

Defunct channels that I miss:
The WB
ABCFAMILY
SoapNet
TNN/Spike TV
The Hub
The-N
VH1 Classic

I miss many channels that are more than awful now when compared to their glory days, but won’t count them as defunct (TBS, Nick at Nite, TV Land, WPIX, Sci-fi, MTV, etc).

Soapnet and CBS Eye On People.

I don't miss any channels, I have nearly all the classic TV shows many of these defunct networks used to show on DVD, uncut and commercial-free along with hundreds of others that were never shown on these channels. I also have thousands of movies, serials and documentaries which I can watch anytime I wish to. Even if these shows were to be shown I no longer need commercial TV. I'm a victim of my success! :D

I have not heard of CBS Eye on People. Was it a separate network or a themed block that CBS aired on their main station?

I miss many channels that are more than awful now when compared to their glory days, but won’t count them as defunct (TBS, Nick at Nite, TV Land, WPIX, Sci-fi, MTV, etc).ABCFamily isn't really defunct, they just changed their name to Freeform at the start of 2017 and have some of the same shows and movies from then like The Middle and Reba. Freeform even still has the 700 Club, which Pat Robertson's sale to them stipulated they had to air it in certain slots.

VH1 (the old version)

The channel today is some kind of BET for teens, even worse than MTV2 but with more reality series and off-network reruns like The Jamie Foxx Show and The Parkers as well as movies. They entierly removed the music videos for this ****.

Viacom really need to get rid of this and bring back the channel's spirit in the 90s, with Pop-Up Video, Behind The Music, Movies That Rock and the good stuff that the channel used to air that time ! This would be wonderful, but this unfortunately not going to happen :(

At least there's still VH1 Classic Europe...

I have not heard of CBS Eye on People. Was it a separate network or a themed block that CBS aired on their main station?

It was a separate channel that was launched in 1997 and closed in 2000. Here is the Wikipedia entry

Knowing what we know now, I guess I can make so many jokes about the fact that the logo looks like half of an egg.

FamilyNet
The Biography Channel
TNN, they had some great old shows on it.
I miss the old TV Land, Ion.
I miss a lot of channels...the way they once were.

WOW!! You must have a HUGE place to have room for all those!

I haven’t had cable tv for about four years now so I don’t know what’s left out there. I don’t watch much tv (mostly dvds here) but I do remember Trio, Odyssey, and GoodLife channels back about 20 years ago as they all had some good shows on. I also remember when so many channels were good but have turned to garbage. Too many to list here.

I miss FearNET, Toon Disney, Chiller, The Hub, UPN, WB and NickGAS.

Monsters HD ( Before streaming services like Shudder, this channel aired uncut, commercial free horror movies 24-7, and they didn't just air the mainstream, also the more obscure stuff.)

Kung Fu HD (Same as above, but martial arts flicks)

Chiller

Fearnet

I miss the “old” Fox/ABCFamily. I preferred when it was more syndicated reruns of sitcoms and family movies, with few original series.

I used to love watching (and taping!) Who’s The Boss?, Growing Pains, The Wonder Years, Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step, Boy Meets World, Sister Sister, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Two Of A Kind, 8 Simple Rules, What I Like About You, Hang Time, 7th Heaven, Everwood, Power Rangers, X-Men, Spider-Man and more!

I remember the old blockd Fox Family would do. I used to watch Power Rangers reruns all the time off there.

I miss SoapNet too. As well as Tv Land and when the Game Show network aired more "classic" game shows.

I remember that one. When History Channel went to reality shows most of their documentary type shows went to H2. Nowadays they're nowhere to be found. I can't even remember the last time I saw an episode of Modern Marvels.

Tv Land Original

Nick & Nite through the 1990ss

I really miss Walt Disney's (the man not the company) shows, cartoons, and movies as we used to get on the original premium Disney Channel back in the 80s-90s. A majority of these titles are simply not available anymore (and not on Disney+).

I miss that sitcom cable channel called HA! (1990-1991). It featured some of the best classic network sitcoms and variety shows ever broadcast on cable and only the first year of TV LAND(1996) ever came close!
