CBS Daytime is a division within CBS that is responsible for the daytime television programming block on the CBS Television Network's late morning and early afternoon schedule. The block has historically encompassed soap operas and game shows.

The official website of CBS Daytime was shut down in March 2012 and is no longer online, though network promotional advertising continues to refer to daytime programming under the branding.

Game shows

Despite little genre output when compared to NBC and ABC, CBS is the last remaining Big Three broadcast network to carry daytime game shows. While NBC and ABC were still producing several game shows in daytime, CBS gave up on the format during the 1967–68 season. From 1968 until March 1972, the network carried no game shows. However, as part of CBS's "rural purge" effort to lure wealthier suburban viewers, CBS executive Fred Silverman commissioned the game show Amateur's Guide to Love. Hosted by Gene Rayburn, the show ran from March 27 to June 23.

Despite the failure of Amateur's Guide, Silverman commissioned three other games for debut on September 4 – The New Price Is Right, Gambit, and The Joker's Wild – to replace the reruns seen in the daytime slots up to this point. All were major hits, and more games were added as time went on; Joker ended in 1975 and Gambit in 1976, but both have spawned revivals. The Price Is Right has aired continuously in daytime on CBS since its debut.

Currently, CBS carries two network games: The Price Is Right and a revival of Let's Make a Deal which debuted in 2009. Prior to Deal, the last game on CBS (other than Price) was the Ray Combs-hosted revival of Family Feud, which aired from 1988–1993.

Successfully relaunched an updated version of The Price Is Right, which remains on air to date.
Mike Ogiens Vice President of Daytime Programming 1975–1979 Took over the daytime programming in 1975 and ultimately removed The Edge of Night from CBS to make room to expand As the World Turns to a full hour and he would later expand Guiding Light to a full hour in 1977.
Brian Frons Vice President of Daytime Programming 1979–1983 Under his leadership, he canceled Love of Life and awarded The Young and the Restless to expand to a full hour and a move to a different time slot.

Lucy Johnson Senior Vice President of Daytime Programming 1989–2003 Departed her post at the end of January 2003. Johnson had been with the network for 14 years. At the time of Johnson's departure, CBS president Les Moonves went on record to state "What Lucy has achieved with our daytime lineup may never happen again. To maintain a position of leadership for more than 13 years in any field is an unbelievable accomplishment. To do it in television, where viewing habits can change dramatically, is even more impressive."

Bloom gave input into the CBS soaps long-term storylines and gave extensive notes on every single outline and script – a practice that had long been in place during her tenure at ABC. She also oversaw the search for a new host of The Price Is Right, successfully replacing the retiring Bob Barker with Drew Carey as well as the introduction of CBS' first daytime talk show The Talk.
