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 and 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, military 13:30/12:30 (e.g. KIRO-TV in Seattle, which airs the show at 2:00 PM, military 14:00).

Game shows

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.

TV ratings

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.
