CBS soaps may air at different times due to soccer on a few dates
CBS broadcast television is airing "UEFA Champions League" (European soccer tournament)
during the afternoons of six dates:
Tues. Feb. 15 and Wed. Feb. 16.
Tues. Feb. 22 and Wed. Feb. 23.
Tues. March 8 and Wed. March 9.
The soccer matches air live, and begin at 3:00pm USA Eastern time.
CBS will also air a pre-match soccer news/analysis show at 2:00pm on the same dates.
To summarize:
On the dates mentioned, CBS has carved out a 3-hour timeslot:
Total timeslot: 2:00 pm EST to 5:00 pm EST.
(2pm-3pm pre-game; followed by 3pm-5pm soccer match).
How does this affect you? On the dates mentioned:
The soccer matches are airing live.
If you regularly watch B&B (and Y&R) during these times:
(2pm-5pm EST). (1pm-4pm CST). (Noon-3pm MST). (11am-2pm PST)....
then ... the soaps won't air at the regular time,
It might air earlier/later in the day, or overnight, or not at all.
Check your local listings.
Depending on your local station, this may affect one or both of the CBS soaps.
Also the episodes will be uploaded as usual online later in the day.
This will probably affect only Mountain Time Zone and Pacific Time Zone.
Hopefully the soaps will tweet out clarifications at some point.
This info has all been verified on the cbssports website, and cable guides.
Also you can find it on the SoapOperaNetwrk twitter page (not soapoperanews).
You may see headlines that say "preempted" but it's not totally preempted, it's just affecting some cities/markets.
To clarify, in case you are looking this up in schedules:
On each of those dates, there are TWO separate matches with different teams.
Both matches will air live and *simultaneously*:
