Fans of The Young and the Restless are angry with CBS as the popular soap opera faces yet another interruption. The continuous sidelining of their favorite show to make way for other coverage has left loyal viewers upset and taking to social media to express their discontent.
Here are all the specific details on why The Young and the Restless fans are angry, when the show will come back, and more.
Here’s why The Young and the Restless fans are furious with CBS
The reason why The Young and the Restless fans are angry at CBS is that the network chose to air live coverage of March Madness games.
This temporary scheduling change is a recurring issue every year, but it doesn’t sit well with fans who rely on their daily dose of drama from Genoa City. The interruption not only affects The Young and the Restless but also other daytime favorites like The Bold and the Beautiful and Beyond the Gates.
The Young and the Restless fans have flooded social media platforms with complaints. Mostly, question why CBS doesn’t air sports events on dedicated sports channels instead of disrupting regular programming. One fan wrote on Instagram, “When are you coming back on air? Can’t stand March Madness!!!” Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “So true bball interrupts the soaps and it’s annoying! There’s enough channels spread it out lol.” A third fan suggested, “Why does CBS not broadcast the show on their other channels?”
While CBS announces these interruptions in advance, the inconvenience remains a sore point for viewers. The network’s decision to prioritize March Madness over daytime dramas means fans must wait for the tournament to end before new episodes resume. Even streaming platforms like CBS.com and Paramount+ won’t have new episodes available during the break. However, The Young and the Restless fans may not be upset for long as the new episode will be released on March 24, 2025.
