Ambitions ratings have fallen apart without the Have and Have Nots lead in. Ambitions was either 11th or 12th in its timeslot among people 18-49. Pose is clobbering Ambitions in the younger demos, which advertisers love. Ambitions skews very old, which advertisers don’t like. 

I’m lucky that I get to see the show on Retro. Peggy Cass just started and god is the character annoying. lol I hope Sweeney mellows out. She’s so overbearing. 

I will post more ratings. I just have to find the time. Just keep in mind that the ratings I post are from Daytime TV magazine and the month and year handwritten is the issue date, so most likely the ratings are from a few months earlier. 

The ratings are not surprising. There’s nothing new or exciting happening on any soap. 

A little bit of useless trivia here. Those May, 1989 church scenes where Phillip gets shot and Roger swings through the church were shot in Another World’s studio in Brooklyn instead of GL’s studio on East 44th Street. GL’s studio couldn't accommodate the high ceilings needed for Roger to swing down so GL went on location, so to speak to one of AW’s sound stages at its bigger studio. 

Wow! Those early 80’s episodes are a great find. Thanks for posting them!

So far, so good for Mark Grossman. He’s an excellent choice to play Adam. I think he’ll do well in the role. 

Huge thank you@montyb 

Y&R got shut down in the lead categories. 

Daytime TV February 1979 so the ratings must have been from a couple months before that.

Did Daytime TV post ratings throughout its run?

 

Someone out there probably has access to all those rating details...

As far as I know, yes Daytime TV posted the ratings until its demise. There is ALOT more to come. I found a huge stash in my basement of old daytime tv’s and a newsletter from the 80’s and 90’s that published the ratings. Stay tuned.
