SoapNet will pump up its original programming roster with the premiere of "MVP: The Secret Live of Hockey Wives" in June. The show, a scripted look at on and off-ice drama, has been ordered up for 10
installments by the cable channel. It will be put in the 11 p.m. time slot that will be filled in the meantime by "Relative Madness," a six-special run with clips and commentary about the craziness of
TV families.
"SoapNet will increase its original program offerings this spring and summer," says Brian Frons, president of daytime for Disney-ABC Television Group. "MVP is an intense
drama with a great cast and interesting stories," he adds, noting that "our record-breaking success with "General Hospital: Night Shift" last year reinforces that our viewers have an insatiable
appetite for serialized drama."
