Beginning Monday, September 1, Canadian fans of “Beyond the Gates” will need to find a new way to watch the daytime drama series after a representative for broadcaster CHCH confirms to Soap Opera Network that the soap opera will no longer air on the network following the Friday, August 29 episode.

Although no specific reason for the change was cited, the network noted the show will not be airing as part of its 2025-2026 schedule.

According to an updated program schedule, repeats of “The A-Team” will replace the daytime drama series on the CHCH schedule beginning Monday, September 1.

“The A-Team” is a 1980s primetime drama that aired for four seasons on NBC. It follows four ex-Army Special Forces soldiers who become heroes for hire after being branded as war criminals for a crime they didn’t commit. After breaking out of Prison, they end up helping the downtrodden while on the run from the Military Police.

Since the soap opera’s launch on February 24, 2025, CHCH aired new episodes of “Beyond the Gates” weekdays at 2:00 p.m. ET in simulcast with U.S. broadcaster CBS. CHCH held linear TV rights to the series in Canada, while a streaming option remained unavailable to the country.

“Beyond the Gates” marked a return to the world of daytime soaps for CHCH as the network previously carried fresh episodes of “As The World Turns,” “Guiding Light,” “Sunset Beach” and “The Young and the Restless,” with the latter series moving to Global TV in the early 1980s.

Broadcasting since 1954, CHCH has been the news leader for Hamilton and the surrounding Halton and Niagara regions. Owned by the independent media company Channel Zero, the network is available to over 92% of Ontario households and is viewed by millions nationally each week.

Soap Opera Network has reached out to reps at CBS and Paramount, a Skydance Company, for information on where Canadian fans might be able to pick up “Beyond the Gates,” if anywhere, following CHCH’s decision to drop the series. We’ll update this story if/when we hear back and provide you with the latest information on the matter.

Ouch; that's not a positive sign, but maybe CBS Studios is working on securing a less limited deal for Canadian broadcast?

Jeevan Brar from The TV Watercooler website is saying it'll air on the Crave streaming service, but I have not yet confirmed it myself directly, though I do not doubt his reporting. He was the first to report CHCH picking up the show.

 

Crave will be the new (streaming) Canadian home of #BeyondTheGates beginning September 1.

Final CHCH episode to be broadcast tomorrow (Aug. 29).

Availability on @CraveCanada means more access to viewers across the country. 🇨🇦#BTG also available on CBS for those with cable. pic.twitter.com/7c9BkCqd0W

Per the wording, and based on my interpretation, the "rep" was someone from CHCH confirming the show will air until August 29.

September 1 – BEYOND THE GATES, Season 1A

This new show is being replaced with reruns of some old series from the 80s? 🙄

Since Beyond the Gates will be airing repeats next week, per CBS, at this time it's unclear what Crave will actually be airing since they note Season 1A, not Season 1. It's entirely possible they'll just have all the episodes CHCH has already aired, since Crave is a streaming service.

Another week of repeats?! Hm... seems like they're skipping holiday weeks altogether. So, are we to assume Thanksgiving and Christmas will be a week of repeats, too?

Yikes. This says a lot, especially replacing a brand new show with one from the 80s. And now another set of reruns?

I freaking knew this would happen. I won't be surprised if it happens again around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

The CHCH thing could be as simple as Crave paid for exclusive rights to BTG across Canada and therefore CHCH can't air it anymore. It doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't doing well.

I can't help but wonder how to interpret it. 😳

I don't see any of this as a sign of confidence, but maybe the exclusive rights are over with and there's nothing more to it than that in Canada.

But the reruns? If the other shows aren't doing repeats, neither should this one. 

RERUNS...?! Now wait a minute... I hope to God CBS is not deliberately trying to ruin BTG's ratings. What the hell is going on? As I recall... the last time they did reruns... we saw a huge drop. The show is just 6 months old. They shouldn't do experiments this early in the game. I don't like this one bit.
