Game shows still carry with them the "older demographic" baggage.

Exactly what sorts of people do they expect to be watching TV at that time of day anyway? The 25-39ers out there are either at work making the disposable income necessary to spend on whatever the advertisers would be selling, or don't have that sort of income to begin with.

The point is, if I'm in the position of deciding what to do with a newly-vacated one-hour time slot on the CBS daytime schedule, game shows don't look very attractive because they generally deliver older demographics than other types of programming you could put on. In the olden days, daytime network TV catered to stay-at-home housewives and sold them household products ranging from food to floor wax. The older demos of game shows were offset by the fact that they were cheaper to produce, and the lower rates were attractive to advertisers. Nowadays Mom is part of the work force so the audience that's left consumes mobility scooters, Medicare supplements and diabeetus supplies.

It wouldn't shock me if CBS came up with something along the lines of The View.

Ooh, maybe they could lure Hannah Storm back from ESPN!

WKMG in Orlando airs Guiding Light at 10 AM every day before TPIR.  If it gets cancelled I am sure it could be replaced with a daytime game show.  It sure would make up for WKMG preempting $25k Pyramid, PYL, Eubanks CS, and Combs Family Feud 10-20 years ago.

Proceed with my instructions from earlier in the thread, thank you.

("Everybody, clap your hands, and we can bring daytime game shows back to life!  Before the light goes out, quick, everybody clap!  Clap!  As loud as you can!")

While I'd rather see game shows, I wonder if the nets have ever thought of repurposing an hour of a previous night's primetime shows in the daytime?  Example: If you missed any of CSI last night, check it out at 3pm the next day.

Given the state of the daytime drama genre, I doubt B&B will get an additional 30 minutes.  Without Y&R as a lead-in, B&B would be in the same ratings shape as most of the remaining sudsers.  If we had this conversation 4-5 years ago, it would be a different story.

B&B doesn't get the luxury of that in a lot of the US

Many years ago, CBS offered its affiliates a half hour at noon so they could air local news.  

Outside of the East Coast, stations have the option of airing Y&R at either 11am or 11:30 am (In Pattern), taking B&B at 12:30

Don't laugh. KPTV FOX 12 here in Portland is now triple-running Judge Judy from 6 PM-7:30 PM weeknights. They recently demoted syndie Deal from 7 PM to 5 PM on their sister station (KPDX 49).

Kim Zimmer becomes one of the highest-paid movie actresses ever, with her first five films grossing over $200 million each.

With the first one called "YEAH, RIGHT."

That's already on the CBS Station in Chicago. An hour in syndication is far suffice.

Just for that, Robair, I propose CBS gets a game show called "Jack*Bot," where you can win BILLIONS of dollars!
