The Young and the Restless
The Young and the Restless (often abbreviated as Y&R) is an American television soap opera created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell for CBS. The show is set in a fictionalized version of Genoa City, Wisconsin. First broadcast on March 26, 1973, "The Young and the Restless" was originally broadcast as half-hour episodes, five times a week. The show expanded to one-hour episodes on February 4, 1980. In 2006, the series began airing encore episodes weeknights on SOAPnet until 2013, when it moved to TVGN (now Pop). As of July 1, 2013, Pop still airs the encore episodes on weeknights. The series is also syndicated internationally.
KMOV
From 1987 until September 11, 2015, KMOV aired "The Young and the Restless" on a same-day delay at 4:00 p.m. (serving as a lead-in for its early-evening newscasts), with "The Price Is Right" airing on a one-hour delay at 11:00 a.m.; KMOV also delayed "The Late Late Show" by a half-hour since 1997 under original host Tom Snyder (one of several CBS stations that have done this practice), in order to run syndicated programming after the "Late Show with David Letterman" (KMOV completely preempted "The Late Late Show" during the program's first two years on the air). On September 14, 2015, KMOV moved "The Price Is Right", "The Young and the Restless" and "The Late Late Show" to their recommended network time periods with the first full season under Meredith ownership, with the relocation of the former two shows occurring as a result of the launch of a half-hour 4:00 p.m. newscast.
