The big surprise: "The Bold and the Beautiful" got a 2-year pickup just a year or two after near cancellation.

It's obvious ABC wants to emulate NBC and expand Good Morning, America based on the events of the past week.  So between that and the fact that CBS has been #1 in daytime for the past 10-15 years, obviously they think going left while everybody else turns right is a good plan.  Can't say I blame them.

I think it's since 1987-88; there was a TPIR episode from 1998 which celebrated CBS Daytime's 10 years at the top. Lucy Johnson, the then-head of daytime programming at CBS, appeared and renamed the audience holding section at Television City the "Bob Barker Promenade."

The only CBS Daytime show to win its time slot here in Atlanta is Young and the Restless...at 3:00 pm (WSB literally owns daytime, though TPIR at 11:00 am has been a solid #2 behind The View).

One of the few East Coast stations that does *NOT* air Y&R at the usual 12:30pm time. I found it interesting that Y&R at 4pm was so entrenched in Raleigh (since the early '90s) that when the affiliation switch happened earlier this year, the new CBS affiliate also kept the show at its 4pm time.

ObGameShow: The failure of "You Bet Your Life" helped contribute to Y&R moving to 4pm (as a solid lead-in for WRAL's news).

I don't remember exactly when the Bob Barker Promenade became a thing, but it was much later than this.

Sounds like he confused that event with the 5000th episode in 1998, in which Lucy Johnson did indeed appear to dedicate the Bob Barker studio.
It's a well-known fact that Lincoln loved mayonnaise!

A press release from last September said CBS was celebrating 29 years as #1 in daytime.

It was on the 30th Season premiere.
