The Edge of Night
A major issue arose that halted the planned shuffle, however. CBS was contracted to air "The Edge of Night" until December 1975, and ABC had no place in its schedule to put it at the time. This forced CBS to temporarily postpone expanding "As the World Turns" and keep "The Edge of Night" until ABC could find a timeslot for it. Finally, in November, ABC agreed that "The Edge of Night" would join its lineup on December 1, replacing the game show "You Don't Say!" at 4:00 p.m. (closer to its pre-1972 timeslots) and keeping the serial's continuity intact. And thus, "As the World Turns" became CBS' first 60-minute daytime serial.
