CBS Daytime Ratings Release: 2018-19 Season

CBS Daytime once again ended the full 52-week broadcast year as the #1 performer in the daypart for the 33rd consecutive year – a streak that has never been, and will most likely never be equaled. The Network’s daypart features a balance of dramas, game shows and talk, including network television’s #1 daytime program and longest-running game show THE PRICE IS RIGHT, as well as the #2 game show, LET’S MAKE A DEAL. CBS also has the top two daytime dramas, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS and THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, as well as the Daytime Emmy Award-winning THE TALK, which has received a new boost of energy in season 10 as Marie Osmond has joined the hosts at the table each day, Sharon Osborne has revealed her refreshed look, and the show unveiled a new state-of-the-art set.
