according to Stuart's UK DS page, a very reliable source, DC is negotiating to put DS on Soapnet in 2004.
This is GREAT news. Soapnet makes a big deal out of every show they air They'll do marathons, specials, interviews, and create a buzz around it through promotions. Soapnet is now home to reruns of the other vampire soap, Port Charles, so the two shows could make a great double bill.
In three years since it began, Sopnet has gobe from 7 million homes to nearly 30 million. It's growing fast. Anyone with Dish Network or Direct TV
can get it now.
They hope to launch Soap 2 in a few years, which would be a TV Land styled channel for older, classic shows. I see a permanent home for DS here.
If the WB DS flies, we could see a major DS revival in the coming year!
Write to Soapnet now and request DS!
