Title: Spike might need a drink
Post by: dave from knoxville on May 28, 2010, 04:50:51 PM

"Reason to panic, daytime drama fans? Disney ABC/Television Group announced today that it will pop the bubble on SOAPnet in January 2012 to make way for Disney Junior, a new 24-hour cable/satellite channel devoted to preschool children. In making the announcement, Disney Media Networks Co-Chair Anne Sweeney said the decision to shutter the cable channel was “not arrived at lightly,” but that new viewing patterns have all but deemed the network obsolete.

I think Spike would appreciate the drama and tension in "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody", if he could just give it a chance.

It was a happy day in my house when my daughter decided she didn't want to watch the Disney Channel anymore.

However as I type this 'iCarly' is on the TV.
