Posted (edited)

Tues. April 29, Wed. April 30, Tues. May 6, and Wed. May 7:
UEFA European Soccer Champions League Semifinals 

These will be broadcast live in the European evenings,
which is 3-5pm Eastern USA, plus a 2-3pm Eastern prematch show.

Total timeframe: three hours 2-5pm EDT on those four dates.
On CBS only.  Does not affect Canadian or Australian networks.


This fully officially preempts BTG in all timezones in USA and Canada.
Tues. April 29, Wed. April 30, Tues. May 6, and Wed. May 7.


This will partially preempt Y&R and/or B&B in Mountain/Pacific/Alaska timezones.
(for CBS-USA only) – for the following episodes:

Tues. April 29 - Y&R Episode #13111 (S52, E141)
Wed. April 30 - Y&R Episode #13112 (S52, E142)
Tues. May 6 - Y&R Episode #13112, (S52, E146)
Wed. May 7 - Y&R Episode #13117 (S52, E147)

Tues. April 29 - B&B Episode #9514 (S38, E155)
Wed. April 30 - B&B Episode #9515 (S38, E156)
Tues. May 6 - B&B Episode #9519 (S38, E60)
Wed. May 7 - B&B Episode #9520 (S38, E161)

Canada and Australia will have all episodes of Y&R and B&B
at normal dates/times in all timezones.

Y&R and B&B are broadcast in fullness but only in USA Eastern and Central timezones
***Thus it is considered to be an official airing and not a full preemption.
If you are in a western timezone, then either Y&R, or B&B (or both) are partially preempted,
and you need to watch alternate time/channel or watch online.

Soccer schedule source:

https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/champions-league/schedule/20250429/

https://www.espn.com/soccer/schedule/_/date/20250429/league/uefa.champions

^ The sports schedule shows the match times, but there is also a pre-match show.

You can see from this tvinsider chart (if viewed as Eastern Time Zone)
that BTG is not airing, but B&B and Y&R show as airing
https://www.tvinsider.com/network/cbs/schedule/ 
(TV listings for Pacific, Mountain, and Alaska show B&B and/or Y&R disrupted in some cities)

REMINDER that this affects B&B and Y&R in USA on CBS -- only in some timezones.

Canada broadcasts of B&B on CTV and Y&R on Global would be airing normally in all timezones.

Australia episodes of B&B and Y&R on "10play fast-tracked" will be at normal times/dates.


Soccer schedule for CBS on the affected dates:

  • Pre-match analysis show 2:00-3:00 PM EDT
    (in TV Listings as "UEFA Champions League Today")
     
  • Soccer match 3:00-5:00 PM EDT

Total of three hours of live programming
for pre-match and match together

(2pm-5pm Eastern Daylight Time)
(1pm-4pm Central Daylight Time)
(Noon-3pm Mountain Daylight Time)
(11am-2pm Arizona Standard Time)
(11am-2pm Pacific Daylight Time)
(10am-1pm Alaska Daylight Time)
(8am-11am Hawaii Standard Time)

Some individual CBS stations in western timezones provide alternate times of day/night for broadcast of the CBS soaps, or airings on sister channels in nearby regions.

  • Anyone unable to watch at alternate time/station could watch B&B and Y&R on cbs.com and ParamountPlus.  
  • Otherwise you'd miss the episodes.


Y&R and B&B air normally in Canada
and are available in Australia at the normal Australian schedule.

BTG is fully preempted everywhere.


The old reliable "zap2it.com" TV Listings website went out of business in March 2025.

I looked up overnight airings of B&B and Y&R for some CBS channels in the affected timezones,
I have been trying alternate tv listings sites that are attached to each separate CBS station’s individual website – to seek listings of B&B or Y&R – and I don’t know how updated those are.
The station listings do show the BTG preemptions for the soccer pre-match show and the soccer matches,
but don't always display the alternate times to air B&B or Y&R.  
Also trying a couple of other tv listings websites, which have better information
RESULTS in third post of this thread.


Update: confirmation that BTG will have a full official preemption in USA and Canada.
BTG will not have episodes on cbs.com or paramountplus or CHCH on the affected dates.

*** Check your local listings for updates.

*** Manually set your devices to record all old and new episodes of CBS soaps through May 9th.  That way you can catch anything that airs at an odd time of day or night.

Or just watch on cbs.com or paramountplus.com

 

CANADA:
update: Listings for CHCH.com in Canada:
https://www.chch.com/schedule/
Usually shows BTG from 2-3pm,
followed by rerun of Facts of Life from 3-3:30pm.
However on the affected dates, it shows no BTG,
and, instead, three episodes of Facts of Life from 2-3:30pm.

Y&R airs normally everywhere on Global-Canada.
B&B airs normally everywhere on CTV-Canada.
BTG is fully preempted on CHCH-Canada.

Just a point of reference since it doesn't seem to be cleared up in the thread, but Beyond the Gates will only air three episodes next week as it will be preempted for UEFA coverage on Tuesday, April 29 and Wednesday, April 30, exactly the same way the network preempted The Talk in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Therefore, no episodes will be aired in any time zone or any country on those days, including Canada. What CHCH will program in the slot on those two days is not yet clear.

I was waiting for your confirmation.  Thanks.
And same is true for for Tues. May 6 and Wed. May 7.
I'm really glad it's a full preemption for BTG, so that broadcast viewers don't have to scramble to find it at odd times. 


And thank you for fixing the edit button coincidentally just in time for me to make this thread. I was pulling my hair out worried that I'd announce the wrong info without being able to edit if I had erred.

You are not a person that is known for posting wrong info, quite the opposite. Again, thank you for the heads up and yes - cheers for the edit option coming back.

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
