Defunct channels you miss - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

HA- TV network

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.

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 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.

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.
