After 10 years and 75 million subscribers, the SoapNet channel has been cancelled. The move was a major shock, although considering the demise of daytime dramas across the dial — including the end of ‘As the World Turns’ this September — it’s likely a sign that the soap opera genre is on the endangered species list.
Disney intends to replace SoapNet with a channel called Disney Junior, which will be aimed at preschoolers, ages 2-7, according to a report in The New York Times. The lineup will include many current Disney Channel shows like ‘Mickey Mouse Club,’ ‘Handy Manny’ and ‘Jungle Junction,’ as well as feature films like ‘Aladdin,’ ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘101 Dalmatians.’
