NBC Daytime

NBC Daytime was the daytime programming block of NBC. It historically featured a large number of soap operas and game shows. Its main competitors were CBS Daytime and ABC Daytime.

Game shows were discontinued from NBC Daytime's lineup in 1994 and soap operas were largely dropped in the 1980s and the 1990s. By the 2000s, NBC Daytime had been reduced to only two shows: Days of Our Lives and Passions.

Passions was moved to DirecTV's 101 Network in 2007, resulting in the immediate discontinuation of the NBC Daytime branding. As such, NBC no longer has a daytime programming block, but the network continues to air Days of our Lives. The former official website of NBC Daytime now redirects to the NBC website for Days of our Lives.

NBC has aired more than 30 soap operas between 1949 and 2007. Despite the discontinuation of the NBC Daytime programming block in 2007, Days of Our Lives continues to air to this day as the standalone daytime show for the network.

NBC ended its game show block in 1991. They briefly revived the format with three game shows in the 1993–94 season, but has not returned since. NBC now programs no game shows. Some of NBC's local stations now get their game shows via syndication.
