[TMOTVSoaps]

Based on the local market ratings it looks like the soaps have an up week and the winter storms helped on Monday including a holiday for public schools in Chicago. First March Sweep day Thursday saw an uptick in viewers also but Friday was a dead day for some soaps.

I have the ratings for New York City on Monday March 2, 2009 and they were higher than usual for the soaps on all three of the networks although ABC is their highest rated soaps network in the market. I will have many other cities for the same day and ratings for other days during the week but only for the TOP 5 markets and two other cities.

Here's New York, NY (#1 media market in the country) first:

*I think it can... I think it can*

I'm hoping for higher numbers for GL.. up to a 1.7 again or higher... It's been soooooooo good lately... it deserves higher numbers.

[Kryptonite]

Please post the rest of those markets as this looks interesting. I can't believe how huge the ratings for soaps are in New York.

[rhinohide]

Yes please post the markets. It's always interesting to me how significantly they diverge from the national ratings. Hard to believe all three ABC soaps beat or tie Y&R in NYC and OLTL was the top ranked ABC soap! Boggles my brain.

[Angela]

Public school's were cancelled in NYC on 3/2 as well.

[Ann_SS]

Goes to show how our perceptions of the shows are not always consistent regionally. ABC must be thrilled that their soaps are doing so well in the Northeast where there are the big media markets. This is why they probably ignore the outrage and fan comments on the Internet. Yet the demos are in trouble which is explains why they are trying to make changes on the shows.

[rangethatrover]

All anybody watched where I lived was ABC. (I grew up in new York then moved to Boston when I was 13)

I was so happy when I found Stacey (girl I went to school with) who watched Y&R and B&B!!! These were the Sheila Carter days and we LOVED HER.

GH of course was #1, My mother's show was AMC, mine was OLTL and Y&R)

I remember getting out of school when I was 9- walking home and one of my neighbors(she was probably 13) was crying. I was like "What's wrong!??!"

"Tanya died".

"Who the F is Tanya!?"

It was Tanya on General Hospital. I think she played Brad Maule's wife.

I love seeing OLTL #1 in NYC. It is the lowest rated soap in most of the southern states east of Texas. Wasn't OLTL a strong #1 in Dallas a few weeks back??

Make note that all Left Coast (West Coast cities LA & BAY AREA) don't include their whole ratings so they may look low b/c their always delayed in fast market data.

[dragonflies]

Too bad it's not doing anything overall for the ratings though, but I guess they take what they can get and spin it how they can........

[Ann_SS]

ABC only cares about the demos and at least they point out to the advertisers that soaps do well in the largest population and wealthiest areas of the country. No small thing.
