In addition, fans can catch up on all five of the prior week's most recent episodes on TVGN every Sunday from 11:00 AM, ET/PT-1:30 PM, ET/PT starting on Sunday, Dec. 8.

"THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL has been one of the most popular daytime dramas on television for more than two decades, and now, for the first time ever, the series will be making its cable TV debut, giving loyal viewers more opportunities to catch up on their favorite show," said Brad Schwartz, President, Entertainment and Media, TVGN. "THE YOUNG AND THE Restless has made TVGN one of the top female networks in the country, weekdays at 7pm. It only made sense to give B&B fans what they've been demanding from us."

"Our fans have asked us for an opportunity to watch a second run. I'm delighted that we will now be able to fulfill that desire with such an esteemed cable network."
