As the saying goes, “Remember, remember! The fifth of November,” in reference to the fifth day of the month of November, which got a modern boost in understanding via the Natalie Portman vehicle “V for Vendetta,” some CBS Daytime soap fans will remember the day for a presidential press conference that resulted in their favorite soaps being interrupted in several markets, including the second largest market – Los Angeles! As a result, those impacted markets will offer makegoods, which finds stations re-running a program that may have been interrupted in any significant way in its corrected form at a later time. “The Bold and the Beautiful” did not air in nearly 11% of the country, while “The Young and the Restless” did not air in nearly 7% of the country.

As a result of a presidential press conference taking the place of today’s, November 5, episode of ABC’s “General Hospital” in several major markets, including six of the eight markets that recently moved the show back to its original time slot, the daytime soap opera will be airing in the overnight hours on those impacted stations for what is known as makegoods. This process finds stations re-running a program that may have been interrupted in any significant way in its corrected form at a later time.

Today is a must-tune-in day for CBS Daytime, as the network is pulling out all the stops for soap fans!

As the polls close in some states, and prepare to close in others, it might come as a surprise to learn which of your favorite television shows may appeal more to those who share a different political viewpoint from that of your own.

In it, Bloomberg noted that “General Hospital,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “The Talk,” “The Steve Harvey Show” and even “Judge Judy,” among others, aired more Democratic political ads while news oriented programming such as “CBS Sunday Morning,” “NBC Nightly News,” “Nightline,” the Sunday editions of both “Good Morning America” and “The Today Show,” and even game show “The Price is Right,” aired more Republican ads.
