SoapCity is a defunct soap opera website, owned by Sony Pictures Digital.
In addition, Procter & Gamble Productions contracted with SoapCity to handle the web presence for their two CBS series, As the World Turns and Guiding Light.
[1] When announced in 1999, SoapCity was planned to be the online component to a Sony-produced cable channel of the same name, which would air same-day repeats and archives of these same shows.
However the channel would never air after being beaten to the market by ABC/Disney's SoapNet, contractual objections by NBC and CBS at the time disallowing re-airs on a network not owned by them, and distribution and programming complications with Sony's Game Show Network which made launching a second channel untenable.
In addition to standard coverage of daytime soap operas, including news stories, catch-up synopses and story analysis, the site was one of the first to allow day-and-day digital downloads of Days and Y&R, along with archived episodes dating back to the series' 1965 and 1973 launches.
