Prospect Park initially intended for ''All My Children'' to begin its run on the internet on September 26, 2011,<ref name="AMC" /> but ran into challenges.

On May 17, 2013, The Online Network announced that ''All My Children'' and ''One Life to Live'' would no longer air five days a week together, due to viewer ratings that reflect online viewing patterns rather than those of traditional television. Starting May 20, 2013, ''All My Children'' and ''One Life to Life'' will be presented in a new schedule, with AMC airing on Mondays and Wednesdays and OLTL airing Tuesdays and Thursdays. The recap shows ''MORE All My Children'' and ''MORE One Life to Life'' will also combine 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 although they subsequently became 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, as the carriage agreement had specifically called for the airing of four episodes per week of both shows. Due to the reduction, FX Canada stated that ''"the agreement is no longer valid"''.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!
