NOTE: On CBS, both Search for Tomorrow and Guiding Light expanded from 15 to 30 minutes on Monday September 9, 1968. They were the last 2 15 minute soap operas airing on television, ending a 22-season era of 15 minute soap operas which had begun with the first ever soap opera on Television called "Faraway Hill" on the DuMONT Network in 1946. As a result of those expansions, (The) Guiding Light was moved to 2:30 PM resulting in Art Linkletter's House Party in being pushed forward to 4:00 PM. Also, both The Edge of Night and The Secret Storm were moved to 3:00 for "EDGE" & 3:30 PM for "Storm" respectively. As a result of this scheduling shuffle the program at CBS, "To Tell The TRUTH" aired its last broadcast on Friday September 6, 1968. Otherwise, the remainder stayed as is.
