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 (Paramount) and ABC Daytime (Disney).
Game shows were removed from NBC Daytime's lineup in 1994 and soap operas were largely dropped between the 1980s and the 1990s. By the 2000s, NBC Daytime had been reduced to only two shows: Days of Our Lives and Passions.[1]
Passions was moved to DirecTV's now-defunct 101 Network in 2007. With Days of Our Lives being the only remaining daytime program on the network's schedule, the NBC Daytime branding was phased out entirely. In 2022, the network ultimately announced that Days of Our Lives would move exclusively to streaming on NBCU's Peacock, and be replaced by an NBC News-produced news program.[2][3]
