What Channel Is Young And Restless On At Night

Okay, let's get real. We've all been there. You're scrolling through channels late at night. Maybe you're a bit... tired. You think, "Wait, is that... Young and Restless?"

But it's after 11 PM. Surely, daytime soaps don't haunt the nocturnal hours, right?

The Great Soap Opera Conspiracy (Or, Why I Think Y&R Airs At Night)

Here's my theory: Young and Restless secretly airs at night. Hear me out! It's just... not on the channel you expect.

We’re all stuck in this habit of thinking daytime soaps only exist during the day. Newsflash: the TV gods don't play by our rules.

Let’s investigate.

The Usual Suspects: Checking the Obvious

First, let’s clear the air. No, it's not usually on CBS at night. I know. Disappointing. I've checked. Repeatedly.

And sadly, Nick Newman isn't fighting Victoria for control of Newman Enterprises at 2 AM on ABC either. Although, wouldn't that be amazing?

So, where is it hiding?

The Case of the Missing Reruns

This is where it gets tricky. It’s not always straightforward like knowing when your favorite sitcom reruns are showing. Sometimes you can catch episodes on streaming services.

Paramount+ has it! You might be able to watch old episodes there any time of night. So technically, Young and Restless IS on at night... just not on broadcast TV, usually.

My Unpopular Opinion: We Want Late-Night Genoa City

Confession time: I kind of wish CBS would just air a "classic" episode block at like 1 AM. I'd watch it. Wouldn't you?

Imagine: Phyllis vs. Sharon, the early 2000s fashion, all the drama! I’d even watch a marathon featuring iconic villainess Sheila Carter!

Some people might say, “Get a life!” But those people don’t understand the allure of classic soap opera shenanigans.

Plus, let’s be honest, late-night TV is often... not great. Why not replace infomercials with Katherine Chancellor's legendary zingers?

So, What Channel IS It REALLY On?

The truth? There's no single answer. It depends on your streaming subscriptions and your tolerance for late-night channel surfing.

But, if you really need your Young and Restless fix after dark, Paramount+ is your best bet. And hey, maybe if enough of us complain, CBS will finally give us what we want!

Until then, happy streaming! And keep dreaming of a late-night Genoa City takeover.

Spoiler Alert (Sort Of)

Okay, I'm kidding (mostly). I know Young and Restless is a daytime soap. But a girl can dream, right?

Think of the possibilities!

Maybe the real Young and Restless at night is the friends we made along the way. Nah, just kidding. It's definitely finding old episodes online when you can’t sleep!
