Most CBS affiliates in the Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones, and in Alaska and Hawaii air this schedule one hour earlier (starting at 9:00 am); local schedules may differ over all time zones.
CBS provides two separate feeds of Let's Make a Deal, at 10:00 am or 3:00 pm Eastern time (9:00 am and 2:00 pm Central time); affiliates who follow the network's master schedule have the option to air the program in either timeslot.
CBS provides an alternate feed of The Young and the Restless at 11:00 am Central time (12:00 pm Eastern); this feed is used by some stations outside of the Eastern Time Zone to accommodate their Noon hour local newscasts. CBS stations who utilize this option include network-owned WCCO-TV in Minneapolis, and affiliates KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, KMOV in St. Louis, and KIRO-TV in Seattle.
Some CBS affiliates air The Bold and the Beautiful at different times other than 1:30/12:30 pm (e.g. KIRO-TV in Seattle, which airs the show at 2:00 pm).
Despite little genre output when compared to NBC and ABC, CBS is the last remaining Big Three television networks to carry daytime game shows. While NBC and ABC were still producing several game shows in daytime, CBS gave up on the format during the 1967–68 season. From 1968 until March 1972, the network carried no game shows. However, as part of CBS's "rural purge" effort to lure wealthier suburban viewers, CBS executive Fred Silverman commissioned the game show Amateur's Guide to Love. Hosted by Gene Rayburn, the show ran from March 27 to June 23.
Despite the failure of Amateur's Guide, Silverman commissioned three other games for debut on September 4 – The New Price Is Right, Gambit, and The Joker's Wild – to replace the reruns seen in the daytime slots up to this point. All were major hits, and more games were added as time went on; Joker ended in 1975 and Gambit in 1976, but both have spawned revivals. The Price Is Right has aired continuously in daytime on CBS since its debut.
Currently, CBS carries two network games: The Price Is Right and a revival of Let's Make a Deal which debuted in 2009. Prior to Deal, the last game on CBS (other than Price) was the Ray Combs-hosted revival of Family Feud, which aired from 1988 to 1993.
Card Sharks (1986–1989; replaced Body Language; revived in primetime by ABC in 2019)
Blackout (1988; replaced and subsequently replaced by The $25,000 Pyramid, later replaced by Family Feud)
Family Feud (1988–1993; replaced The $25,000 Pyramid and Blackout; renamed Family Feud Challenge and expanded to 60 minutes in June 1992; currently airs in syndication; primetime celebrity series aired on NBC in 2008 and on ABC from 2015–present)
Wheel of Fortune (1989–1991; replaced Now You See It; currently airs in syndication)

He was the head of CBS Daytime programming at the time The Young and the Restless went into development and he gave the show the green light. Cancelled in-house produced soaps Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, Where the Heart Is, and The Secret Storm while sparing Love of Life, which improved in ratings toward the end of his tenure. Successfully relaunched an updated version of The Price Is Right, which remains on air to date.
Took over the daytime programming in 1975 and ultimately removed The Edge of Night from CBS to make room to expand As the World Turns to a full hour and he would later expand Guiding Light to a full hour in 1977.
During his tenure he introduced seasonal campaign graphics with network slogans for the daytime promotions of CBS' daytime shows. Brockman departed in July 1989 when he left to join ABC Daytime. From 1983 to 1987, Bob Short served as Chief Consultant for CBS Daytime during Brockman's tenure.[5][6]
Lucy Johnson
Senior Vice President of Daytime Programming
1989–2003
Departed her post at the end of January 2003. Johnson had been with the network for 14 years. At the time of Johnson's departure, CBS president Les Moonves went on record to state "What Lucy has achieved with our daytime lineup may never happen again. To maintain a position of leadership for more than 13 years in any field is an unbelievable accomplishment. To do it in television, where viewing habits can change dramatically, is even more impressive."
Served as Executive Vice President from January 2003 to February 2011. Bloom reported to Nina Tassler who in turn reported to her boss Nancy Tellem who reported to head CBS president Les Moonves. Previously worked as a writer and producer on ABC Daytime. In an unusual move for a network executive, Bloom, a Writers Guild of America member who used to write for ABC's Port Charles, also wrote breakdowns, and accepted on-screen credit for two episodes of The Young and the Restless in 2007. Bloom gave input into the CBS soaps long-term storylines and gave extensive notes on every single outline and script – a practice that had long been in place during her tenure at ABC. She also oversaw the search for a new host of The Price Is Right, successfully replacing the retiring Bob Barker with Drew Carey as well as the introduction of CBS' first daytime talk show The Talk.
Mensing was raised in Richmond, Virginia, and had been with CBS Daytime from 2003 to 2008 working alongside of Barbara Bloom, and was ABC Daytime's Creative Director from 1999 to 2002. Replaced by Michelle Newman in May 2008.

She served as Director of daytime programming until being promoted to Vice President of daytime programming in September 2013.[7]
As of 2019, CBS Daytime has been folded into the network's current programming division.[8]

Because of a quirk in The Price Is Right from 1975 during the experimental run at a one-hour format in September that became final that November, that show's ratings in daytime are split into first half and second half segments. The same has been done for the ratings for Let's Make a Deal since that show's premiere in 2009.
