I feel so so so good, and confident, because not only is MVJ an excellent, seasoned veteran writer but she's the first black to be in the position she is in & also the first soap HW to also be a Show Runner! When I see her name & the string of titles: Creator, Headwriter, Executive Producer and Show Runner, I am filled with joy. So many firsts & so well deserved! And, the icing she's also a woman.

BTG on Paramount+ with Showtime

So, if you watch on this you are paying extra to get the show on the day of rather than the next day. However, the result is not 2 pm/live. I just got off the phone with Help/Support & today, S1E4, loaded at 5:20 Eastern & they indicated I could count on that time daily. 

It seems weird that it's not 2 pm/live. I did this for the Emmys & that was live.

I feel like there's something basic about people's viewing habits & desires that they are fundamentally missing!

Are you saying you want to watch it live during its broadcast airing time? If so with that package you just have to go to the CBS local station feed attached to your account and its right there

I honestly hate that and prefer the upload to be after the national airing. I always have to avoid Eastenders and Corrie spoilers on my timeline super early in the AM, I was happy BBC waited to upload during the EE anniversary week.

I used to have ParamountPlus with showtime.
I could watch shows live on my local channel (as stated above).
So you could watch BTG at the same time that your local channel airs it.

I now have plain ParamountPlus *without* showtime.
BTG is uploaded there and also to cbs.com about an hour after it airs in Pacific Time.
That's SAME DAY (not next day).
On Monday Feb. 24, it was up at 2pm Pacific, 5pm Eastern.
Today Thurs Feb. 27, it was up at 3pm Pacific, 6pm Eastern.

If you think it's likely up but can't see it on the menu, then try this:
Watch the last five minutes of yesterday's episode, and it will segue into the start of today's episode.  If it's on the site but not on the menu yet, that will work.
If it's not on the site yet, then you have to wait.

Thanks so much. I need to experiment because I'm going to change my plan & get a refund, if so. I just don't understand  it because it worked, as promised, for the last 2 Daytime Emmys, so why is this different?

 

Yes & no. But, wait, I have a CBS feed in my Paramount+ w/S account? But, anyway, if it's there & I can access, once it's up it stays up, right? Like if I can't watch it till 4 eastern, it will continue to be accessible to me? I'm really not stupid. I'm thrown because something apparently exists that I had no knowledge of!!

Edit to Add: So if I select Live TV it's just whatever is on ATM & I don't see a way to go back to an earlier time. Right? If so, this doesn't help me at all.

    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
    • Ooo @TaoboiI will say I just watched Amanda give it to Abby and I loved it. Honestly just made me miss Hilary more. I will never understand or get over that decision to kill her off. Also call me crazy but I could definitely see the Damian actor playing NuTed on BTG. Very much still enjoying the Lily attraction.
    • I rewatched these episodes---they broke my heart. Somehow, Nola had seen Vanessa leave the hospital, and follows her home, and Maeve just lets out this primal scream---chills went down my spine. And knowing the history between them---never quite liking the other and always getting on each other's nerves (to put it mildly)---makes it a much richer to have them put it all aside in the moment and be family to each other. I've never seen/heard what Maeve thought of the story itself, but she did want a break, so it's not like she was fired and then brought back. Yes, Vanessa could be this stubborn and unwilling to ask for help. She'd pretty much always been an "I can do this on my own" type of woman, although when she first came to town, she would still run to Henry. But after she met Billy, she stopped relying on her father. It's part of the reason she (briefly) got addicted to pills after Bill's birth---she was determined to take care of him all by herself and became obsessed with the idea she was the only one who could. Of course, nothing before to this extreme. I should say, there's no way (IMO) they could've told this story---Vanessa letting her loved ones thinking she'd died---if her father Henry had still been alive. She never would've been able to do that to him. And it does chafe that she's letting Bill believe it, when her mantra had been all about protecting him since the day he was born. I honestly don't recall what I thought about it at the time. But now I'm thrilled she's free of Matt at least. LOL.
    • I had no idea Peter Reckell was 70. He doesn’t look or feel it and I guess I thought Bo and Hope were closer in age than 9 years. Wow even the new writers had to have Jack praise Leo. Melissa Reeves continues to slip back in effortlessly as Jennifer. I like Ari and Holly being old friends. Holly learning about John’s death reminded me of how John used to call her Nikki if my memory is serving me right. Doug who happily sleeps in high school Holly’s room shirtless and in his underwear is now asking about birth years. How old is he anyway?    The Cat and Chad romance is insulting. 
    • Her husband is Marty Levy. Chocolate Fortunes (her company) was started in 1987.  So that explains the mystery of 'Whatever happened to Pam Peters?' She had been running a successful business for decades.
