CBS Bumps Soaps for Basketball

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — It’s that time of year again.  The time when people all across the United States call in sick, stayed glued to their television screens, and fill out brackets with who they feel is deserving of a national championship.  That’s right….March Madness has invaded the country once more.  The second round of the 2011 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament begins today on the CBS and its family of networks.  As a result, “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” will be pre-empted both today and tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, March 17 & 18.  Both shows will return on Monday at their regular times and no episodes will be missed.  So set back, enjoy a day full of college basketball and cheer on your favorite team.
