Like CBS was still giving stations 30 seconds on ATWT at 15 after, but NBC didn't do that on their shows.

when did the networks switch to a solid half-hour clock for daytime soaps?
- Thread starter danderson6500
- Start date
I think CBS called that a "chain break" (the :33 local cutaway in the middle of a half-hour soap. It probably went away sometime in the 1970s. An example of this is at approx. 12:18 into ATWT on 11/22/63--coming out of a network break, there's a CTN for Route 66 and a :33 station break (in this instance it's more like :37 or so of black).
CBS still does this with Y&R, they give the locals 2 mins of commercials.
