Beginning later this year, same-day repeats of each day's The Young and the Restless will air on the TVGN channel. The primetime airings of Y&R have been airing on SOAPnet.
The Young and the Restless is on the move. Beginning Monday, July 1, Y&R will move from SOAPnet to TVGN (formerly known as the TV Guide Network). The same-day primetime rebroadcasts of Y&R will continue to air at the same time, 7:00pm ET/PT.
There will be no changes to The Young and the Restless' daytime airings. They will continue to air weekdays on CBS.
The Young and the Restless has been airing same-day repeats on the SOAPnet cable channel since 2006. For the past five years, The Young and the Restless has been SOAPnet's top-rated broadcast. However, Disney's decision to slowly phase the 24-hour soap channel out of existence has resulted in the primetime airing of Y&R being seen in fewer and fewer homes.
