Due to declining viewership in the genre, the Big Three networks had begun to cancel selected soaps and replace them with less-expensive talk show and game show programming, including ABC's "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" (an attempt to license the two soaps to Prospect Park to continue them as internet television series in 2013 was discontinued after a few months due to production and licensing conflicts), which were replaced with the cooking show "The Chew" (which aired until June 2018) and the lifestyle talk show "The Revolution" (which was canceled in April 2012 due to low ratings; its timeslot was assumed by "General Hospital" and the remaining hour given back to ABC's affiliates). The decreasing number of active soaps, as well as the growing adoption of digital video recorders (which made it more convenient to record multiple soaps), along with cable and Internet video on demand options caching episodes online within a matter of hours, negated the further need for a linear channel devoted to the genre.
