1.3 Decline and transition to Disney Junior (2010–2013). While some providers removed Soapnet upon the launch of Disney Junior, the channel continued to operate on some providers until it finally ceased operations on December 31, 2013. In later years, Soapnet increased its focus on acquired reruns of drama series.ĭue in part to a general decline in the soap opera genre as a whole, and the growing adoption of digital video recorders, cable/satellite video on demand, and streaming video options making its primetime soap encores increasingly unnecessary on a traditional linear network, Disney announced in 2010 that Soapnet would be replaced by the new preschool-oriented network Disney Junior, which launched on March 23, 2012. Soapnet also broadcast programming related to soap operas, including news and behind-the-scenes programs. The network's programming was oriented towards the soap opera genre on launch, Soapnet carried primetime encores of ABC's current soaps, as well as reruns of classic daytime and primetime soap opera series.
