Better than being number 2 or 3 in a measurable category.So…the number one of three (currently) broadcast soaps. The number one of two network game shows. Wow. Quite the competition.

And the Winner is... Beyoncé's Polka Hour!Tallest of the short people.
CBS could run a polka hour and instantly claim it’s the number one polka hour on daytime TV. Probably all of TV.
The problem is Soap Operas AS A GENRE are in trouble on OTA TV. Why do you think DOOL was moved exclusively to Peacock??Generations is irrelevant. Declining audiences for serialized daytime content in this century is relevant, not what happened decades ago in a troubled time slot on NBC. Generations could have been a big hit; it makes zero difference in 20-freaking-24.
Y&R & B&B air on Pluto TV soaps THE SAME DAY. Why would CBS treat this new show any differently??If CBS owns the show they can place it on as many (or few) platforms as they want. If on CBS it will automatically be on Paramount Plus. And maybe they will decide to air it in PlutoTV also, possibly delayed by a few weeks to give Paramount Plus an exclusive streaming window.
To who? CBS cares less about the success of B&B than the success of the new soap because CBS will own some or all of the new soap.
CBS makes money off of B&B. An upstart soap will take years to gain traction.

Whether the production partners agree to it. Maybe they're eager, maybe it's been decided already, but they've got two other partners to work though it with.Y&R & B&B air on Pluto TV soaps THE SAME DAY. Why would CBS treat this new show any differently??
