Lucy Johnson Senior Vice President of Daytime Programming 1989-2003 Departed her post at the end of January 2003. Johnson had been with the network for 14 years. At the time of Johnson's departure, CBS president Les Moonves went on record to state "What Lucy has achieved with our daytime lineup may never happen again. To maintain a position of leadership for more than 13 years in any field is an unbelievable accomplishment. To do it in television, where viewing habits can change dramatically, is even more impressive."
Barbara Bloom Senior Vice President of Daytime Programming 2003-2011 Served as Executive Vice President from January 2003 to February 2011. Bloom reported to Nina Tassler who in turn reported to her boss Nancy Tellem who reported to head CBS president Leslie Moonves. Previously worked as a writer and producer on ABC Daytime. In an unusual move for a network executive, Bloom, a WGA member who used to write for ABC's Port Charles, also wrote breakdowns, and accepted on-screen credit for two episodes of Y&R in 2007. Bloom gave input into the CBS soaps long-term storylines and gave extensive notes on every single outline and script - a practice that had long been in place during her tenure at ABC. She also oversaw the search for a new host of The Price is Right, successfully replacing the retiring Bob Barker with Drew Carey as well as the introduction of CBS' first daytime talk show The Talk.
Richard Mensing Vice President of Daytime Programming 2003-2008 Mensing was raised in Richmond, VA, and had been with CBS-D from 2003-2008 working along side of Barbara Bloom, and was ABC Daytime's Creative Director from 1999-2002. Replaced with Michelle Newman in May 2008.

Game shows

Despite little genre output when compared to NBC and ABC, CBS is the last remaining Big Three broadcast network to carry daytime game shows. When NBC and ABC were still producing several game shows in daytime, CBS gave up on the format during the 1967-68 season. From 1968 until March 1972, the network carried no game shows. However, as part of CBS's "rural purge" effort to lure wealthier suburban viewers, CBS executive Fred Silverman commissioned the new game show Amateur's Guide to Love. Hosted by Gene Rayburn, the show ran from March 27 to June 23.

Despite the failure of Amateur's Guide, Silverman commissioned three other games for debut on September 4 – The New Price Is Right, Gambit, and The Joker's Wild – to replace the reruns seen in the daytime slots up to this point. All were major hits, and more games were added as time went on; Joker ended in 1975 and Gambit in 1976, but both have spawned revivals. The Price Is Right has aired continuously in daytime on CBS since its debut.

Currently, CBS is carrying two network games – Price and a 2009 revival of Let's Make a Deal. Prior to the revival of Let's Make a Deal, the last game on CBS other than The Price Is Right was the Ray Combs version of Family Feud, which was cancelled in 1993, though it remained in syndication until 1995.
