  Move Over, Y&R: Brooke Logan’s Headed To TVGN

  Buoyed by the success of Y&R airing in the evening on TV GUIDE NETWORK, B&B has been added to the programming schedule beginning December 2. In addition to daily airings, look for weekend roundups to catch up. “I am looking forward to a successful partnership with TVGN,” said B&B Chief Bradley Bell. “Our fans have asked us for an opportunity to watch a second run. I’m delighted that we will now be able to fulfill that desire with such an esteemed cable network.” FYI: TVGN doesn’t air in Canada.
