On May 17, 2013, The Online Network announced that ''All My Children'' and ''One Life To Live'' woould no longer air five days a week together, due to viewer ratings that have been seen as certain patterns that resemble more closely the typical patterns of online viewing rather than how one would watch traditional television. Starting May 20, 2013 ''All My Children'' and ''One Life to Life'' would be presented in a new schedule, with ''All My Children'' airing on Mondays and Wednesdays and ''One Life to Live'' airing Tuesdays and Thursdays. The recap shows ''MORE All My Children'' and ''MORE One Life To Life'' would also combine together as one show airing on Fridays. The following day on May 18, 2013, both shows were noticeably missing from the FX Canada website and schedule, and subsequently were available on iTunes Canada; it was later revealed that FX Canada dropped ''All My Children'' and ''One Life to Live'' due to the reduction of episodes, the carriage agreement called for four episodes a week of both shows. With the reduction, FX Canada has said "the agreement is no longer valid."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://michaelfairmansoaps.com/news/fx-canada-no-longer-carrying-all-my-children-and-one-life-to-live-however-amc-oltl-are-now-available-in-canada-on-itunes/2013/05/20/ |last=Fairman |first=Michael |title=FX Canada No Longer Carrying All My Children and One Life to Live!
