With a successful lineup consisting of soap operas, game shows and a hit talk show, CBS announced today that it has renewed its full daytime lineup for the 2017-18 television season. Additionally, “The Young and the Restless” received an overall three-year commitment from the network, keeping it on the air through at least the 2019-2020 television season. “The Price is Right” was renewed through the 2018-19 television season.

CBS has renewed its entire daytime lineup consisting of “Let’s Make a Deal,” “The Price is Right,” “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Talk” through the 2016-17 television season, the network announced today.

Citing newly released Nielsen Media Research ratings data, CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” is up during first quarter 2016 over first quarter 2015 in Total Viewers. The daytime drama series averaged 5.38 million viewers during the quarter, which is a gain of 11,000 viewers over the comparable quarter a year ago.

Get ready for a soap opera showdown. Stars from “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” are competing against one another in CBS’ Soap Mayhem Basketball Tournament on Thursday, March 10. Part of March Madness 2016, the event will stream live on the CBS Facebook page at 11:30 am ET/8:30 am PT.

Every wedding needs a planner, even if it is a couple’s fourth time saying, “I Do.” So the newly engaged Billy (Jason Thompson) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) hire one to coordinate their next trip down the aisle on “The Young and the Restless,” and she’s being played by “The Price Is Right” model Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith.

CBS Daytime is showing across the board ratings growth compared to one week prior and the same week last year, according to newly released Nielsen Media Research ratings data for the week of February 8-12, 2016. The network held the top six programs in Total Viewers and the top four in both Women 25-54 and Women 18-49, the key sales demos that determine ad rates for daytime programs. The network remains the industry leader throughout the February Sweeps ratings period that began Thursday, February 4.

CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless” were both up week-to-week in total viewers during the week of January 18-22, 2016, according to newly released ratings data. Showing a dramatic uptick in audience throughout its current iteration, “Let’s Make a Deal 2” delivered its largest weekly audience ever. “Let’s Make a Deal 1” delivered its best performance since January 31, 2014.

After reporting how daytime stacks up when looking at the Adults 18-49 demo as used by primetime advertisers, one has to wonder what daytime looks like in the actual key sales demo of Women 18-49 when it comes to the season-to-date rankings. What’s surprising is how poorly “The View” does overall, and how well “General Hospital” is actually doing when factoring in the Live+7* numbers vs. the traditionally reported Live+SD** numbers seen here on Soap Opera Network each week.

As we prepare to publish another week’s worth of ratings covering the daytime soaps “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Days of our Lives,” “General Hospital” and “The Young and the Restless,” we felt it was worth noting the difference between daytime and primetime when it comes to demographics as part of a year-end report.

With a streak that began with the week of December 26, 1988, CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” has now stood at the top of the Nielsen ratings among total viewers for 27 consecutive years, it was announced today by Angelica McDaniel, Executive Vice President, Daytime Programs and Syndicated Program Development, CBS Entertainment and CBS Television Distribution.

While “General Hospital” seems to be collapsing before our eyes in the Nielsen ratings, CBS continues to succeed with its winning lineup of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “The Young and the Restless,” “The Price is Right,” “Let’s Make a Deal” and “The Talk.”

Nominees for the 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in select categories were announced earlier today on CBS’ “The Talk.” All in ABC’s “General Hospital” is leading the pack with 28 nominations. “The Young and the Restless” is right behind with 25 nominations followed by “The Bold and the Beautiful” with 19 noms and “Days of our Lives” with 16.

Just a short time ago, CBS’ “The Talk” announced the nominees for the “42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,” which will air live on Sunday, April 26 on Pop. In total, CBS received 62 nominations in a variety of categories including Outstanding Drama Series for “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” Outstanding Lead, Supporting and Younger Actor for several of daytime biggest talents, along with nominations for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show and Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Hosts for “The Talk,” Outstanding Game Show for Let’s Make a Deal,” among a plethora of others.
