CBS Daytime Executive President Angelica McDaniel said, “CBS Daytime has never been stronger. From 30 consecutive years of being #1 in the ratings, to another year as the most honored Network at the Daytime Emmys, our lineup of talk, game shows and dramas connects with our audience like no one else.”
McDaniel added, “all our talent, on screen and behind the scenes, is hard at work making the upcoming season of these award-winning series even bigger and bolder.”

The hour-long show is steeped rich in soap history. It still has many long time veterans with a mix of new and legacy characters to make compelling drama.

Both daytime dramas, aka soap operas, take the #1 and #2 slot across the daytime viewing landscape, which is no easy feat in today’s world, with fickle viewing habits and thousands of choices viewing options!
It’s also a note of interest that both soaps were created by the Bell family, with William Bradley’s son Bradley Bell executive producing and head writing B&B. Y&R is both exec produced and written by Mal Young and Sally Sussman.
