1985 DAYTIME TV SPECIALS:

Don't know about 12/19/72, but like I said above, we'll get confirmation once that Nielsen data arrives. I was just listing two additional preemptions from 12/72 and 1/73 that I hadn't seen you mention (the two funerals).

1984 DAYTIME TV SPECIALS:

Checking additional sources, President Truman's funeral was 12/28/72, supposedly aired from 3-430PM, which was during a dark week, so we will never know the exact length. The previous day, 12/27/72, I have Days listed as being preempted for his funeral, but checking more into it, that preemption was actually for his procession to lie in state. Aired from 2-3PM and picked back up at 4PM, so looks like AW most likely aired on 12/27 but not on 12/28. President Johnson's funeral was 1/25/73 from 1-4PM, so that would account for a 2nd AW preemption during the 12/27/72-1/25/73 time frame.

Nice way to find out the USA Today archives are now fully available! Must have just been added, because I never saw them in search results before. Brings back memories of cutting out the weekly ratings chart each week in the 1990's!

1983 DAYTIME TV SPECIALS:

That's great to hear! Always happy when my research helps other soaps!! The dark week is 12/25/72-12/31/72, so 12/19/72 will hopefully be available. I know the 1972/1973 years have some additional books missing, which will affect some of the Watergate preemption data, but I think we will eventually have most of Watergate at least.

11/15/83 is when the Days episodes are fully available from fans (although some of the episodes are missing portions). This is what is missing from my collection since 11/15/83: 11/28/83 (25m) SCRIPT ONLY 12/7/83 (5m) SCRIPT ONLY 12/12/83 (10m) SCRIPT ONLY 12/26/83 (90secs) SCRIPT ONLY 12/27/83 (3m) SCRIPT ONLY 12/28/83 (90secs) SCRIPT ONLY 2/22/85 (5m) 1+ SCRIPT ONLY 3/7/85 (5m) 1+ SCRIPT ONLY 4/4/85 3 acts SCRIPT ONLY (have full dialogue) 6/14/85 ½ act SCRIPT ONLY (have scene-by-scene) 6/20/85 1 ½ acts (Missing that data) 7/2/85 ½ act SCRIPT ONLY 11/14/85 ½ act SCRIPT ONLY 1/9/86 ½ act SCRIPT ONLY 1/29/86 3 ½acts SCRIPT ONLY (2-B thru 5-B, have scene-by-scene) 9/5/86 2/3 act SCRIPT ONLY (2:34 missing) 7/21/87 ½ act SCRIPT ONLY (:51 Act 5, "I know everything....[back with] Hey, you mess with my family...") 12/7/88 2 acts (First 2 acts, 8:41 from German feed only; "I'm okay, so don't worry") 1/22/91 1 ½ acts SCRIPT ONLY (2:50 Act 7/8/creds "Oh my gosh, the popcorn")

Here's an article on the family:

1981 DAYTIME TV SPECIALS: Note: The 5 "Wedding Day" specials aired from 6/8/81-6/12/81 were only given a weekly average rating, so the daily special ratings for those are not available.

I never knew they had a Facebook page until someone messaged me today and pointed me to it, but on the Salem Spectator Facebook page was this post: "Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you with a humble and saddened heart today. Some time on or about January 22nd, 2025, the Web hosting company (hostgator.com) that we have relied upon for over a decade arbitrarily deleted the web hosting for salemspectator.com, to include all files, data, and intellectual property. Put simply, while we could go to another web hosting company and start completely over from scratch, we are "unburdened by what has been". Nothing of what we built over the last 20 years exists any longer."

I had these ready to post for all of the 1980's for awhile, just never got around to it. Just have to crop them and get them ready to post for each year. And we will finally have a complete record of every rated special aired in daytime in the entire decade!

Update on Salem Spectator website: The hosting company of the Salem Spectator website randomly deleted the entire website a few days ago. If you have visited there before, you know what a fun and nice board it was to post on. It was probably the longest-running board that I had been posting on. They had over 20 years of summaries which I think were all lost in the deletion. I checked on Internet Archive and it doesn't seem to have much saved beyond the main index page.

Here are the other two years. Enjoy! https://www.jason47.com/days/ratings1994.html https://www.jason47.com/days/ratings1995.html

I stopped by to post about Dan, but I see Veleka has posted already. Joanna was back on staff as of 1/14, but so far none of the freelancers have made it to the staff.

No, you're not a pest at all! I guess I just never remembered to add those to the site. I was more focused on the 70s and 80s stuff, but since we are in a lull now until 1973 arrives, here is 1993. As you can see, it's been quickly done. Just have to cut/paste the 26 chart images, and voila, the 1993 page is born! I'll get to 1994/1995 throughout the day. 1993 took less than 10 minutes to do, so it's not a time-consuming ask from you!! https://www.jason47.com/days/ratings1993.html

I've posted so much through the years. Are you saying I already posted 1993 to 1995 in the 1990's thread? Sure, I guess I could add those to the website.

It sounds like you didn't have my Nielsen pages bookmarked, since you spent all day looking!

From the Nielsen page on my site, when I scanned all of the Soap Weeklys. The 18-49 demo goes back to December 1993. Here are the 1995 and 1996 links: https://www.jason47.com/days/nielsens1995.html https://www.jason47.com/days/nielsens1996.html I would have all the 1974-1993 W 18-49 demos offline, but I don't think any of us have figured out how to read those numbers yet. I don't think you just put a decimal point in between the numbers, or maybe you do? For instance, for the two combined weeks of 1/28 and 2/4/74, the W 18-49 #s are: AMC...64 AW...55 ATWT...52 DAYS...60 DOC...57 EDGE...49 GH...56 GL...50 HOW...58 LOVE...57 OLTL...59 SEARCH...53 SECRET...43 SOMER...48 YR...61 Meanwhile, for fun, here's the M 18-49 demos for those same two weeks: AMC...11 AW...10 ATWT...11 DAYS...9 DOC...10 EDGE...10 GH...8 GL...11 HOW...10 LOVE...11 OLTL...8 SEARCH...11 SECRET...11 SOMER...14 YR...10
