PREVIOUS REPORT ON 08/28/2025: Beginning Monday, September 1, Canadian fans of “Beyond the Gates” will need to find a new way to watch the daytime drama series after a representative for broadcaster CHCH confirms to Soap Opera Network that the soap opera will no longer air on the network following the Friday, August 29 episode.
Although no specific reason for the change was cited, the network noted the show will not be airing as part of its 2025-2026 schedule.
According to an updated program schedule, repeats of “The A-Team” will replace the daytime drama series on CHCH beginning Monday, September 1.
“The A-Team” is a 1980s primetime drama that aired for four seasons on NBC. It follows four ex-Army Special Forces soldiers who become heroes for hire after being branded as war criminals for a crime they didn’t commit. After breaking out of Prison, they end up helping the downtrodden while on the run from the Military Police.
Since the soap opera’s launch on February 24, 2025, CHCH aired new episodes of “Beyond the Gates” weekdays at 2:00 p.m. ET in simulcast with U.S. broadcaster CBS. CHCH held linear TV rights to the series in Canada, while a streaming option remained unavailable to the country.
“Beyond the Gates” marked a return to the world of daytime soaps for CHCH as the network previously carried fresh episodes of “As The World Turns,” “Guiding Light,” “Sunset Beach” and “The Young and the Restless,” with the latter series moving to Global TV in the early 1980s.
Broadcasting since 1954, CHCH has been the news leader for Hamilton and the surrounding Halton and Niagara regions. Owned by the independent media company Channel Zero, the network is available to over 92% of Ontario households and is viewed by millions nationally each week.
Soap Opera Network has reached out to reps at CBS and Paramount, a Skydance Company, for information on where Canadian fans might be able to pick up “Beyond the Gates,” if anywhere, following CHCH’s decision to drop the series. We’ll update this story if/when we hear back and provide you with the latest information on the matter.
