NBC Daytime


NBC Daytime was the daytime programming block of NBC. It historically featured many soap operas, game shows, and talk shows.
Its main competitors were CBS Daytime and ABC Daytime.
Game shows were discontinued from NBC Daytime's lineup in 1994 and soap operas were largely dropped in the 1980s and the 1990s. By the 2000s, NBC Daytime had been reduced to only two shows: Days of Our Lives and Passions.
Passions was moved to DirecTV's 101 Network in 2007. With Days of Our Lives the only remaining daytime program on the network's schedule, the NBC Daytime branding was discontinued entirely.

NBC has aired more than 30 soap operas between 1949 and 2007. Despite the discontinuation of the NBC Daytime programming block in 2007, Days of Our Lives continues to air to this day as a standalone daytime show on the network.
NBC ended its game show block in 1991. They briefly revived the format with three game shows in the 1993–94 season, but has not returned since. NBC now programs no game shows. Some of NBC's local stations now get their game shows via syndication. All network-based game shows since 1993 have been weekly or semi-weekly primetime game shows.
