Members janea4old Posted February 9 Members Share Posted February 9 (edited) A few days of soccer on CBS broadcast TV during soap slots in USA western timeslots. This happened in 2022 and 2023 on some (but not all) Tuesdays and Wednesdays of Feb/March/April/May. the "UEFA Champions League" (European soccer tournament) will air on CBS broadcast television on some of these dates. The tournament is broadcast live from Europe in the evening, which happens to be daytime in USA. Just like in 2022 and 2023, CBS Sports is covering two simultaneous matches per day. One match carried on *both* CBS broadcast TV *and* on ParamountPlus. The other match is carried *only* on ParamountPlus. Tues. Feb. 13, Wed. Feb. 14 – airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus. Tues. Feb. 20, Wed. Feb. 21 – airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus. These February dates are all "Round of 16, First Leg" of the tournament. Tues. March 5, Wed. March 6– airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus. [Tues. March 12 and Wed. March 13 are currently listed as *only* Paramount Plus.] The March dates are all "Round of 16, Second Leg" of the tournament. There may be other dates in April and May, to be announced. This impacts CBS soaps (but not in all timezones) and only in the USA. In some markets Y&R will be affected, in some B&B, in some both soaps. This affects the Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, and Hawaii timezones. Canada is unaffected. Y&R and B&B will air on Global and CTV at normal times in all Canada timezones. For the dates in February and also March 5&6: CBS live soccer coverage Pre-game show 2:00-3:00 PM EST Soccer match 3:00-5:00 PM EST Total of three hours of live programming. (2pm-5pm EST) (1pm-4pm CST) (Noon-3pm MST) (11am-2pm PST) (10am-1pm AKST Alaska) (9am-noon HST Hawaii) What this means: One or both soaps might not air in western timezones, but the soap(s) will still air on CBS stations on the east coast. In some cities, one or both soaps will air on broadcast TV at a special time, earlier or later in the day, or overnight. You might find your soap on a sister channel at a different time. So it won't be counted as a "full preemption" and the episodes will be uploaded online. Be sure to check cbs.com if it doesn't air in your city.

Webmaster Errol Posted February 9 Webmaster Share Posted February 9 Thanks for this. I was checking recently on the scheduling but the CBS sports website only listed Paramount+ for airing the games. That said, looks like The Talk will be preempted on both coasts and so will Let's Make a Deal, particularly in markets where the show airs after The Talk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted February 9 Members Share Posted February 9 Thanks @janea4old for the heads up on this again. I’m actually surprised CBS is airing this again on the main network as I remember it was either last year or the year before reading the ratings for some of these games ended being much, much lower than expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted February 9 Author Members Share Posted February 9 (edited) This is the third year in a row they've done this. According to this, the deal has been extended to 2030: Article dated August 2022 from Fortune (archived): https://web.archive.org/web/20230329101012/https://fortune.com/2022/08/19/paramount-renews-us-rights-champions-league-valued-at-1-5-billion/ "Paramount is betting the sport will continue to gain popularity in the U.S. The Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool attracted 2.8 million viewers on its CBS network in May, the largest U.S. audience ever for a final game broadcast on English-language television. It also was the largest streaming audience for a match on Paramount+. " The Champions League final aired on CBS-TV on Saturday May 28, 2022, so that's what they're basing this August 2022 article on. So I guess based on that Saturday rating of the final, they decided to continue the annual Tuesday/Wednesday matches on CBS-TV. The 2023 final aired on CBS-TV on Saturday June 10, 2023, and I don't know the numbers/ratings on that.

Webmaster Errol Posted February 10 Webmaster Share Posted February 10 According to the much missed site ShowBuzzDaily, the June 10, 2023 broadcast of the UEFA Champions League Final started at 3:01 p.m. and averaged 2.183 million viewers, of which 1.049 million were in the Adults 18-49 demographic. The airing did a 0.99 Household rating. The game was between Manchester City and Internazionale Milano football clubs. The game was also broadcast on Univision and something called TUDN, which is an American Spanish-language sports network that apparently is the successor name to Univision Deportes. https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/skedball-weekly-sports-tv-ratings-6-5-6-11-2023.html https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-6-10-2023-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html As for the May 28, 2022 game you mentioned, it had 2.761 million viewers which rounded up to the 2.8 million cited by Fortune. In Adults 18-49 viewers, the game did 1.299 million, and in households, it had a 1.11 rating. As cited, the game was between Liverpool and Real Madrid. https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/skedball-weekly-sports-tv-ratings-5-23-5-29-2022.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted February 10 Author Members Share Posted February 10 (edited) I learned to check paramountpressexpress and then I search sports, soccer, UEFA, and various things, until I get some info. The info is here: https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-sports/releases/?view=108987-cbs-sports-sets-programming-lineup-for-uefa-champions-league-round-of-16-across-paramount-and-the-cbs-television-network-3 Then I back that up with checking actual tv listings on zap2it or ontvtonight, etc. Edited February 10 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted February 10 Webmaster Share Posted February 10 Thanks again for all the info @janea4old. Although the UEFA games are not in the same league as NFL games in terms of ratings on CBS, the male demographic is the one CBS is trying to reach during periods without the NFL, which explains why they are hellbent on seeing the games stay on the network through 2030, and why we are getting preemptions on the West Coast in particular on Tuesdays/Wednesdays. Between the male demo, being a male-dominated sport, and high-income households watching, "this is the way" is the phrase most appropriate for why the network continues with UEFA even though not one American team is competing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted February 29 Author Members Share Posted February 29 (edited) Regarding the soccer disruption in western timezones for CBS soaps on March 5 and March 6, 2024: Updated the 4th post of this thread, https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/65944-yr-and-bb-feb-march-2024-soccer-preemptions-western-usa/?do=findComment&comment=1897524 Updated that post with the information on which matches are airing on CBS broadcast TV on March 5 and 6. (Previously they said there'd be a match on CBS on those two March dates, but the teams were TBA. Now the teams are announced.) The soccer disruption is the same. Just adding the matches details, in case anyone watches European football and wants to know who's playing on those dates.
