Need To KnowEvery daytime broadcast program showed year-to-year gains among Total Viewers. “General Hospital” averaged more than two million viewers for the fifth time in six weeks, marking its longest streak since at least March 2024. “NBC News Daily” and “TODAY 3rd Hour” marked new season highs among Total Viewers and posted the largest year-over-year gains across daytime broadcast. Excluding 2023 (figures were not available at press time), most daytime broadcast shows attracted more viewers during the week of February 2-6, 2026, than during the comparable week in 2025, 2024, and 2022, and in some cases, 2021.

Demographically, the drama series tied for last place among Women 18-49 (0.13 rating) and ranked last among Women 25-54 (0.21 rating), tying its season and series low in the latter demo.

Outside of “NBC News Daily,” “TODAY 3rd Hour” (2.376 million) was the only other daytime broadcast program to see week-to-week gains, up +20,000, and, compared to the same week last year, marked the largest gain across daytime broadcast among Total Viewers, up +459,000. Also performing well was “TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle” (1.603 million), which, after four weeks, tied the season high performance of its predecessor, “TODAY with Jenna & Friends,” among Women 18-49 (0.26 rating). Wrap-UpWhat follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of February 2-6, 2026, among Women 18-49 rating, Women 25-54 rating, Households and Total Viewers, including week-to-week and year-over-year comparisons (where available). Note*: Starting with the 2025-2026 television season, Nielsen ratings are based on the Live+Same Day Big Data + Panel model, with figures under the 2025 column based on the former Live+Same Day Panel-only model (2024-2025 season). This Week vs. 2025 comparisons for “TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle” and “GMA3” are based on the prior performances of their predecessors, “TODAY with Jenna & Friends” and “GMA3: What You Need to Know,” respectively. CBS aired repeats of “The Price is Right” following the conclusion of “The Talk.” “Beyond the Gates” premiered during the week of February 24-28, 2025.

The episode posted on soapsspoilers was correct, though the description is slightly off. Not sure how TV Listings sites get them and end up posting the wrong info in the process. I have spoken to some of the shows, and they are not happy about TV Listings services getting them, particularly as none of them, except maybe TV Guide, has been sent anything by them personally. It's odd.

Repeats aren't spoilers, but it would be nice if other outlets didn't post about it before the embargo is lifted. To be clear, you did nothing wrong, @janea4old .

While the casting news was first announced late last month, we’re now getting our first look at actress Cecelia Specht, who begins a 20-episode stint as Dr. Lia Whitmore on “Beyond the Gates.” Described as the brilliant, battle-tested Chief of Staff at Garland Memorial Hospital, whose life takes a sharp turn, shattering her confidence and forcing her to question everything she has ever stood for, fans can look forward to Lia drawing in the Dupree family and others into her web of deceit, starting on Friday, February 13. In a newly released clip ahead of her debut, Lia can be seen confronting Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald (Robert Christopher Riley), demanding he take action after she sarcastically notes how matchmaking seems to have overtaken medical services as the hospital’s primary use by its staff, particularly as she sees Dr. Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) and Nurse Shanice Johnson (Ernestine Johnson Morrison) acting all cute at the Nurses station. “You are all adults, and nobody is anybody’s supervisor, so it’s none of my business, until it affects patient care,” Dr. Whitmore says. “And then I have a problem, and so do you!” Carlton can only look on with annoyance after Dr. Whitmore walks off. Check out a preview clip below. Specht is set to conclude her time on Fairmont Crest with the Tuesday, May 26 episode of the daytime drama series, though the date is subject to change due to unexpected scheduling changes or preemptions. In addition to appearances in episodes of other soaps, including “The Young and the Restless” in 2010 and “Days of our Lives” in 2012, Specht’s other credits include roles on such shows as Criminal Minds,” “Revenge,” “Castle,” “No Ordinary Family,” “Dexter,” “Las Vegas,” “Being Mary Jane,” and “The Haves and the Have Nots,” among others.

I'm not aware of any major weather conditions that could affect improved viewership during this particular week. In fact, I don't recall seeing anything about school closures, which typically trigger such improvements in TV ratings.

Forgot to note: Thus far, excluding 2023, most shows did better among Total Viewers during the week of February 2-6, 2026, than the comparable week in 2025, 2024, 2022, and, in a few cases, 2021.

Waiting for demos, but most shows held the bulk of their audience even without snow being a factor during the week of February 2-6, 2026. I'm especially impressed with Y&R and B&B.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, P!NK will guest host “The Kelly Clarkson Show” for a special week of episodes, beginning Monday, March 2. The news comes one week after Kelly Clarkson announced that her Emmy Award-winning talk show would be concluding with its current seventh season. “The only thing that bums me out about P!NK hosting a week of ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ is that I’m not going to be able to be there to watch her,” Clarkson said in a statement. “I have been a fan for so long and have always been inspired by her music and her person. I love her!” “I’ve played stadiums and danced on the side of buildings, but stepping in to guest host for my girl Kelly Clarkson is a brand new feat!,” said P!NK. “Let’s celebrate women, joy, resilience and whatever else comes our way!” A global superstar known for her fearless artistry, powerful voice and unapologetic authenticity – qualities that align with the talk show’s music-driven, heartfelt and playful spirit – episodes featuring P!NK as guest host will feature conversations that celebrate women’s achievements, resilience and impact across music, culture and community. The week will also highlight the show’s dedication to celebrating women who inspire change, break barriers and uplift one another. Surprise performances and candid conversations with trailblazers in entertainment – alongside everyday people making a difference in their communities – will honor women’s achievements, resilience and lasting impact across music, culture and society. During her last appearance on the show, her “Songs & Stories” episode became an instant fan favorite, featuring intimate performances and duets of some of her biggest hits, including “Who Knew” and “What About Us,” while also sharing the stories behind her music. In addition to P!NK, “Songs & Stories” episodes on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” have featured an impressive lineup of artists, including Alanis Morissette, Babyface, Miranda Lambert and others, each bringing candid conversations and unforgettable musical moments that blend iconic hits, personal storytelling and powerful performances at the heart of the series. An NBC primetime spin-off of the long-running hourlong “Songs & Stories” segments featured the Jonas Brothers, Gloria Estefan, Teddy Swims and Lizzo. They proved highly successful, cementing themselves as standout summer 2025 programming, driven by the exceptional work of Clarkson, her band and the show’s Daytime Emmy-winning producing and production team. Production on season seven will continue as planned, with Clarkson hosting. In addition, a few special guest hosts will be announced. Season seven episodes will air through Fall 2026. Fans can request tickets to attend a live show taping.

A correction to what's stated above about Beyond the Gates: “Beyond the Gates” set new series highs among Total Viewers and Households, with 1.859 million and a 1.2 rating, respectively. The first new soap opera to premiere in more than 25 years saw a week-to-week gain of +337,000 viewers and was up +0.1 among Households. The series surpassed premiere week (February 24-28, 2025) among viewers (1.859 million vs. 1.810 million) and tied its series high among Households (1.2 rating).

Done.

Glad you like it! I figured people would likely prefer it this way, since there's really no need for the "normal" layout (that's the name for the setting), since it just shows the avatar, poster name, and number of posts to date. It was wasteful, IMO. All that info (and more) can be seen by just hovering your mouse over the avatar in the "compact" layout (current layout as of this reply).

Ads have always been on the right sidebar. Not sure what you mean by white space, though.

There's nothing wrong with the board. I made a settings change where posts are now shown in compact view instead of their traditional format. This reduces unnecessary space waste. Other than post count, the basic info is there about who posts what. Particularly on desktop, posts have more room to breathe.

The daytime talk show “Sherri,” hosted by Sherri Shepherd, has been canceled. The news came just hours after it was announced that “The Kelly Clarkson Show” would also be ending its run after seven seasons, following host Kelly Clarkson‘s decision to step away from the program. Though “Sherri” will end after four seasons in national syndication, Debmar-Mercury, which produced and distributed the show, says it plans to find a new place for the talk show, with Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus saying, “This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production — which has found strong creative momentum this season — or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd.” They added, “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.” Launched in the fall of 2022, “Sherri” replaced “The Wendy Williams Show” on most of the former talk show’s affiliate stations, led by the FOX Television Stations Group. In March 2025, Debmar-Mercury announced it had renewed “Sherri” for a fourth season, clearing more than 95% of U.S. television households, with the FOX Television Stations, Nexstar, Hearst, Sinclair, Gray, Tegna and Sunbeam among the broadcast groups bringing back the nationally syndicated daytime talk show to their fall lineups for the 2025-26 television season. At the time of its Season 4 renewal, Debmar-Mercury praised the talk show in a press release for its ranking second in Nielsen’s metered markets among all syndicated talkers in February 2025, representing a +33% rise from the show’s performance in November 2024 in the key Women 25-54 sales demographic. On a national level, “Sherri” ranked third overall, rising +17% vs. November and achieving a season high during the week of February 17-21, 2025. The talk show, taped live from New York City’s Chelsea Studios in front of a studio audience, is a strong performer on social media, particularly on YouTube, where it has garnered more than 760,000 subscribers and routinely generates thousands of views for show clips.

After seven seasons, “The Kelly Clarkson Show” will conclude its run in national syndication, following host Kelly Clarkson‘s decision to step away from the program after this season, it was announced on Monday. According to NBCUniversal, which produces and distributes the talk show through Universal Television and NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, production will continue as planned with Clarkson hosting, though a few special guest hosts will step in from time to time. Season seven episodes will air through Fall 2026. “I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show,’ both in Los Angeles and New York,” Clarkson said. “There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner. Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show.’ Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives. This isn’t goodbye. I’ll still be making music, playing shows here and there and you may catch me on “The Voice” from time to time … you never know where I might show up next. But for now, I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.” “‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ has been an extraordinary collaboration,” said Tracie Wilson, Executive Vice President, Syndication Studios. “I’m grateful to Kelly for bringing her talent and energy to this. Her warmth, quick sense of humor and connection with people created a show that made fans feel seen, heard and a little bit better about their day. We couldn’t have achieved the show’s success without our exceptional showrunner/EP Alex Duda, whose vision, leadership and unwavering commitment across all seven seasons have guided us through unprecedented times and a cross-country move. Together with producers, staff and crew, they created a legacy to be proud of.” Valari Staab, Chairman of NBCUniversal Local, said, “‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ has been a valued part of our NBC-owned stations’ lineup for seven seasons, always delivering an entertaining and engaging show for our daytime audiences,” Staab said. “We thank Kelly and the production team for the wonderful, high-quality show they’ve produced consistently since 2019, and look forward to the remainder of this season as they complete their successful run.” The Daytime Emmy-winning syndicated series redefined the talk show genre by bringing celebrities and everyday heroes together on the same stage to celebrate hope and harness the power of music, meaningful conversation and stories that spotlight the best of humanity. The Kellyoke segment has become a signature cultural touchstone, often sparking what fans and media call “The Kelly Clarkson Effect,” where Kelly and her band reimagine songs in ways that resonate deeply with audiences and earn praise from the original artists themselves. Since its debut in 2019, “The Kelly Clarkson Show” has consistently held a top spot in daytime, captivating a multi-generational audience across broadcast and digital platforms.

Actually, we are now up to date, as the week of January 26-30, 2026 won't be released by Nielsen until later this week.

Need To Know “General Hospital” maintained its 1.3 rating among Households for the third consecutive week, marking the first time the soap opera has done so since April 2024. “Let’s Make a Deal” surged to new season highs among Total Viewers. “TODAY 3rd Hour” and “TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle” each saw a week-to-week surge in key demos, with the former up significantly among Total Viewers. During the week of January 19-23, 2026 “TODAY 3rd Hour” saw the largest week-to-week gain among Total Viewers, up 171,000 (2.184 million vs. 2.013 million), and was also up +36,000 viewers year-over-year (2.184 million vs. 2.148 million). The news program was up by significant margins week to week among Women 18-49 (+0.06) and Women 25-54 (+0.11). With a 0.27 rating in Women 18-49 and a 0.46 rating in Women 25-54, the third hour of the “TODAY” brand ranked third in both categories, with year-over-year growth in the latter (+0.02). “TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle” continued to perform well in its second week, up +0.02 week-to-week among Women 18-49 (0.22 rating vs. 0.20 rating) and up +0.04 among Women 25-54 (0.35 rating vs. 0.31 rating). Compared with the year-ago performance of its predecessor, “TODAY with Jenna & Friends,” the retitled news program, which now features Sheinelle Jones co-hosting beside Jenna Bush Hager, was flat among Women 18-49 (0.22 rating) and up a modest +0.01 among Women 25-54 (0.35 rating vs. 0.34 rating). Among Total Viewers, “Let’s Make a Deal” marked new season highs for both its second half-hour (2.745 million) and its first half-hour (2.271 million), up +137,000 and +75,000, respectively, compared to its performance one week earlier. Among Women 25-54, the second half-hour was up +0.03 (0.39 rating vs. 0.36 rating) while the first half-hour was down a mere -0.01 (0.30 rating vs. 0.31 rating). Compared with the same week last year, the second half-hour was up +0.02 among Women 18-49 (0.26 rating vs. 0.24 rating) and up +0.05 among Women 25-54 (0.39 rating vs. 0.34 rating). “The Young and the Restless” maintained its week-ago 0.22 rating among Women 18-49, and remained the top soap in the key sales demographic for the second consecutive week. The show was up +0.01 among Women 25-54 (0.38 rating vs. 0.37 rating), but dropped -40,000 viewers from its performance one week earlier (2.954 million vs. 2.994 million). “Beyond the Gates” fell back to last place among Women 18-49 (tie with “NBC News Daily”), tying its season and series low performance in the demo with a 0.12 rating. Though things greatly improved towards the end of the week, the soap opera was heavily impacted by an East Coast preemption on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 (see preemtions/schedule changes below), and, coupled with the special “Beyond the Gates: Inside Fairmont Crest” airing in place of an original on Monday, January 19, 2026, this likely led some viewers to miss that the show was back with originals on Wednesday, January 21, 2026. Among Women 25-54, the show did a 0.24 rating, down -0.02 from its week-ago performance. Meanwhile, among Total Viewers, the series posted its second-lowest performance of the season with just 1.522 million viewers tuning in, down -129,000, and the largest week-to-week drop across daytime broadcast. “General Hospital” fell below two million viewers after three consecutive weeks of reaching season high performances among Total Viewers, with 1.939 million viewers tuning in, while also setting a new season low among Women 18-49 (0.13 rating) when excluding ESPN on ABC sports coverage of the MLB Wildcard Series games back in early October 2025 (0.10 rating). Among Women 25-54, the soap opera was down -0.03 (0.23 rating vs. 0.26 rating). On the positive side, the show maintained its 1.3 rating in Households for the third consecutive week, marking the first time it has done so since April 2024. “The Bold and the Beautiful” saw a week-to-week decline of -33,000 viewers (2.590 million vs. 2.623 million), with the soap opera flat among Women 18-49 (0.20 rating) and up +0.05 among Women 25-54 (0.34 rating vs. 0.29 rating), which marked its best performance in the latter demo in eight weeks. The second half-hour of “The Price is Right” saw a week-to-week gain of +54,000 viewers (4.564 million vs. 4.510 million) while the first half-hour was up an impressive +101,000 (4.018 million vs. 3.917 million), with the first half-hour attracting its second-largest audiences of the season among Total Viewers while up +0.02 among Women 25-54 (0.52 rating vs. 0.50 rating), even with its year-ago performance in the key demo. Wrap-Up What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of January 19-23, 2026 among Women 18-49 rating, Women 25-54 rating, Households and Total Viewers, including week-to-week and year-over-year comparisons (where available). Note*: Starting with the 2025-2026 television season, Nielsen ratings are based on the Live+Same Day Big Data + Panel model, with figures under the 2025 column based on the former Live+Same Day Panel-only model (2024-2025 season). This Week vs. 2025 comparisons for “TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle” and “GMA3” are based on the prior performances of their predecessors, “TODAY with Jenna & Friends” and “GMA3: What You Need to Know,” respectively. CBS aired repeats of “The Price is Right” (figures unavailable) following the conclusion of “The Talk.” As a result, year-over-year comparisons for “Beyond the Gates” are unavailable as the show didn’t premiere until the week of February 24-28, 2025. Unless stated otherwise, comparisons for 2025, specifically among Households and Total Viewers, were unavailable to this publication for most daytime broadcast shows until February 2025.
