Canadian fans will still be able to watch All My Children and One Life to Live

Great news for Canadian soap fans. Prospect Park has confirmed to us that Canadian audiences will still be able to keep up with All My Children and One Life to Live once they transition online.

Prospect Park has announced the name of their new internet based television network, The Online Network (TOLN) which will launch in January 2012 (http://www.TOLN.com or http://www.theonlinenetwork.com). There are also plans to add the service on other platforms, including internet enabled TV sets. Additional reality, scripted comedy and drama programming will be added to the site. Prospect Park also produces Royal Pains and Wilfred.

On April 14, 2011, ABC confirmed that it was cancelling both soaps and would replace them with lifestyle shows. AMC aired its final broadcast episode on Friday, September 23 while OLTL is expected to air its final broadcast in January. On July 7, 2011, it was reported that ABC had sold the licensing rights of both soaps to Prospect Park, a TV, film and music production company.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Canadian actor Cameron Mathison (Ryan) and Lindsay Hartley (Cara) would stay with AMC when it moves online. Talks with Susan Lucci (Erica) and Alicia Minshew (Kendall) are reportedly still taking place. Meanwhile, OLTL’s Erika Slezak (Viki), Michael Easton (John), Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Ted King (Tomas) and Sean Ringgold (Sean) will also make the transition.

It is also rumoured that Prospect Park is shopping both soaps to a cable outlet. Still no word yet if service will cost viewers money or if it’ll be ad-based.

    It is great we finally have an online site to go to. However, in our economy many people cannot afford computers, internet, and especially internet enabled tv sets so we definitely need to continue to lobby Prospect Park for a cable network as they already have two successful cable tv shows and I feel if they already have two they will be getting two more by adding our soaps. NO SOAP FAN MUST BE LEFT BEHIND.

    Yes, please take our beloved soaps to a cable TV network. I would be sooo pleased if this were to happen. We Canadians are very strong supporters of our soaps and we are strong in numbers also. You would do us a great service if this were to take place, hopefully sooner than later. I am a devoted fan of over 30 years and would welcome this amazing move. Please support us like we have supported the soaps over decades. Thank you!
