"The World of Daytime Soap is gasping its last few breathe"

Today ABC announced that it was cancelling All My Children and One Life to Life from its daytime programming. All My Children is fading into oblivion in September of 2011 and being replaced by The Chew. One Life to Live is making its swan song in January of 2012 and being replaced with The Revolution.

Also in related news ABC also cancelled SoapNet. Its estimated that it will still are for another 18 months and then it will be replace with Disney Junior. This channel will be dedicated to programming aimed at children 2-7.

I personally think this signals the death of daytime television as we know. To replace overly dramatic soaps with overly opinionated unscripted shows is also a sign of the apocalypse too.
