ABC Television announced in April that it was canceling its long-running daytime soap operas “One Life to Live” and “All My Children.”

Well, this morning, the New York Post reported that ABC has sold the online rights to the two long-running soaps, which are scheduled to go off the air in September.

Sources told the Post the daily dramas will pick up where they left off on a new, as-yet-unnamed, TV-focused online network once the soaps finish their 4-decade run on broadcast television.

The soaps are expected to be the first of a number of brand-name TV shows to eventually land online.

News of the deal will be a huge relief to soap fans who have been campaigning for ABC to keep them on air. Reportedly, the soaps were being dumped for much less expensive, unscripted reality programs, “The Chew” and “Revolution.”

“All My Children” launched in 1970 and “One Life to Live” began life in 1968.
