Why does Canada get Y&R a day early?

here in canada we do get it a day early so..you can watch friday's ep at 12:30 and get the cliff hanger but then at 4:30 pm you get to watch mondays - upcoming ep. and it keeps going. so the night one is always the next days ep. sometimes i watch sometimes i don't. but lately i have been cause sometimes i just can't wait. my mom watched friday nights ep (monday) and said don't miss a min.

It would be great to have two airings a day. The reason is my 85 year old mother usually falls asleep and misses half of the show, then I have to tell her what happened. She has been watching since it began some 30-35 years ago.

Y&r Canada

It is not aired in Canada on CBS in the afternoon, but by Global TV who has bought the rights to air it in whichever time-slot it chooses. Most Global stations use Y&R as a late-afternoon lead-in for their local newscasts, but times vary by market.

Look on the bright side, at least it's only one day behind in the US over 10 months in Oz.

here in canada Y&R come on week days 4:30 and then the next day a repeat at 12:30

I don't watch the Young and the Restless. but I do know it comes on a day ahead on alot of Canadian channels. The same thing is true about Days of Our Lives and Passions. I don't know why they do it, but we love seeing the next days episodes.

I believe it's because the CRTC have their own rules and regulations, and besides half of the Americans don't even know where Canada is to go and watch it a day earlier anyway.

I think the creators use Canada as a test area to air episodes. If it doesnt sit well with them then it will probably be pulled in the U.S. I dont know if thats true or not but its a guess.

No idea why,but I am thankful that I live in Canada.lol

I don't know, but its not fair!
