ABOUT TO TYPE UP THE NIELSEN VERSION OF THE FIRST-EVER SOAP WEEKLY CHART FROM 10/16/89!
I just looked at the network press release charts that I posted on my site many years ago for Aug/Sep/Oct 1989. They all match exactly to the Nielsen books except for one item: The week of 9/25/89. YR is listed on the network release as 7.6/31. This must have been before the 1230-1PM portion of Monday 9/25 was classified as a breakout (only half the usual affiliates got this portion). So, taking that half hour out of YR upped its final official rating for the week to 7.8/32.
I am now typing up the Nielsen book version of the first-ever Soap Opera Weekly chart of 10/16/89, so I will update you if there are any differences as to what SOW has listed.0 -

I was just coming back to reply to you, but see your update.
They're not all classics. There are regular/new episodes posted on YouTube. Soap Central is just missing things.
Your original premise must be right: I can confirm episodes (via recaps) of GL for 12/24/97 and 1/5/98. There are four episodes in between without recaps. So, they should be 12/26, 12/29, 12/30, and 1/2/98 not 12/29, 12/30, 12/31, and 1/2/98 as labeled. Christmas day and New Year's day are preempted. I noticed too that Soap Central has a recap for 12/26/97 for ATWT, and it's quite unlikely that they would preempt GL in that case and Nielsen confirms it aired.
It probably has to do with the fact that GL switched to 10 AM in some markets and started airing a day behind. A couple of times on Soap Central I noticed the recapper was a day behind person and the dates would be off. Very frustrating.
I just checked back in here since you responded, but I checked my Soap Opera Weekly archive, which I realized might have some daily previews with dates, so here is some of what is listed for GL in Soap Weekly upcoming previews (and they match what Nielsen has; preemptions only on 12/25, 12/31 and 1/1):
12/24- Scavenger hunt
12/25- (All soaps preempted except BB & YR, which air classic Christmas episodes; matches Nielsen)
12/26- Philip sees Beth with another man; Michelle breaks Jesse's heart
12/29- Dinah goes after Vanessa
12/30- Annie and Beth ruin NYE
12/31- (no GL listed; per Nielsen preempted)
1/1- (All soaps preempted; matches Nielsen)
1/2- Dinah's actions stun Matt
1/5- Michelle and Jesse make love

Soap Central says GL did not air on 12/26/97 either. Presumably another classic episode. Tricky! I don't think CBS started the classic airings til the mid-90s though, so the preemptions from Nielsen from the 80s through early 90s should all be good.
For GL 12/31/97 I am surprised it's listed as a preemption. There's no Soap Central recap due to some kind of website glitch (there's nothing listed at all) but there is an episode with that date on YouTube (no commercials so can't verify the date is correct) plus an episode dated 1/2/98 that picks up directly from it (but no usenet or Soap Central recaps for either day). And then an episode dated Monday, 1/5/98 that does match the Soap Central recap, implying that the previous dates were also correct (they have the full months of December and January). Bit of a mystery there.
It sounds like the GL dates on Soap Central are just off by a day that week then. It did air on 12/26, and did not air on 12/31.
So the 12/29 recap should be listed as 12/26; the 12/30 recap should be listed as 12/29; the 12/31 recap should be listed as 12/30; and then no episode aired (so no recap on 12/31).
UPDATE: Soap Central doesn't have recaps for 12/24/97, 12/25/97, 12/26/97, 12/31/97, 1/1/98, 1/2/98. Nielsen shows that GL aired on 12/24/97 (98 percent of affiliates); 12/26/97 (98 percent of affiliates); and 1/2/98 (98 percent of affiliates), so that's three days of Soap Central that need a recap, or some of these I guess were "classic" episodes?

I checked the soap central recaps and they have that day as a preemption.
Nielsen has an episode of BB airing on 12/25/97 from 130-2PM. 95 percent of the country got it. If it's a repeat episode (like CBS lists Y&R Classics in Nielsen), it's not denoted as such. It's also not listed as a "special" or "breakout" episode, so it counts towards the regular ratings.
BoldKara, whatever dates are not on the preemptions lists that I post, it means an episode aired that day.
The CBS schedule for 12/25/97 is this:
Young and the Restless (1230-130PM; 95 percent of affiliates)
Bold and the Beautiful (130-2PM; 95 percent of affiliates)
CBS Sports Special: Tiger and Friends (2-4PM; 100 percent of affiliates)
The Soap Opera Weekly ratings do mention they are both classic episodes, but they were not listed that way on Nielsen, so I wouldn't have known!
I've added a note to the 1997 BB preemptions list about this. I will add the same note to the 1997 YR list when I post it. Historians of other soaps, you need to contact me if you know of any of these circumstances for your soaps (when a repeat is aired, but Nielsen lists it as a regular episode). Those can be added to each soap's preemptions list if you have any to let me know about!

Yes, I know 3 weeks are not in SOW from October 1989, November 1989 and January 1990. I was just speaking in general terms, "pretty much" every week will be available once I post September 1989 here in a few weeks. Then a few days after that, once I post through January 1990, every week will be available from January 1979-Present except for 8/24/81!

DEIDRE HALL & LAUREN KOSLOW HIT HIGHEST MONTHLY TOTAL FOR ANYONE SINCE 2020...HALL TIES HER HIGHEST MONTHLY RANKING SINCE 2018...LAUREN KOSLOW TIES HER MOST EPISODES IN A MONTH SINCE 2013...
Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Lauren Koslow (Kate) are the first "Days" actors to appear in 16 episodes in a month in over three years, since Lindsay Arnold (Allie) appeared in 17 episodes in July 2020. Hall last appeared in 16 episodes in August 2018. She last appeared in at least 17 episodes in a month in February 2008. Meanwhile, Lauren Koslow (Kate) last hit that mark in December 2013. Koslow last appeared in at least 17 episodes in a month in September 2010. Both actors have a chance to extend their October appearances with two more episodes airing on October 30 and October 31.0 -

I'm shocked OLTL hit #1 in 88. It's a rating period that was missing from the SOD magazines.
I was shocked as well to see Days tied YR for 1st on 8/1/88. I only knew Days hit first place on 7/25/88. So, it was actually 1st place (alone, then tied) for two weeks in a row! Fun to finally have all of the weekly 1980's data finally available! I'm typing up September 1989 charts today, so this is the day the charts are fully complete through when Soap Opera Weekly started posting them. And, since I post a month of ratings each day here, then fans worldwide will have access through September 1989 within the next 2 weeks! And the remaining data from October 1989-Present is already available.

Thanks. I did not watch GL but I was just shocked.
@JAS0N47 So OLTL hit number 1 for the week of 8/29/88, was there any other week prior where OLTL hit number 1 or tied for No. 1? I think the week of 8/29/88 was the first week OLTL hit Number 1 outright.
@JAS0N47 OLTL tied for Number 1 with GH during the week of 12/7/87. Checking your website!!
Fans will have to do that research on their own like you did. I eventually will figure out and post the ranking of Days each week on my site, but I don't have a way of checking each soap's weekly ranking, other than the weekly chart check like you just did.

After all is said and done, it'd be fun to go back and dissect the Households to Average Audience, since the household number represents a different amount of people year to year. For instance, right here in 1988 it shows Guiding Light's 5.2 rating equals an audience of 4,590,000 viewers. Yet, I can remember reading something about GL's numbers as late as 1999 saying they had 5 million viewers. But by 1999, GL's rating points were usually in the upper 3's. (although that 5 million number figure may have been in reference to its previous year's average, which averaged around a 4.0 HH I believe)
I have this at the bottom of one of my ratings pages, so if it helps any with 1989-2022 TV seasons!
Each rating point represents: 921,000 homes (8/89-9/23/90); 931,000 homes (9/24/90-9/8/91); 921,000 homes (9/9/91-9/20/92); 931,000 homes (9/21/92-8/15/93); 942,000 homes (8/16/93-9/18/94); 954,000 homes (9/19/94-9/17/95); 959,000 homes (9/18/95-9/15/96); 970,000 homes (9/16/96-8/31/97); 980,000 homes (9/1/97-8/25/98); 994,000 homes (8/26/98-8/22/99), 1,008,000 homes (8/23/99-9/3/00); 1,022,000 homes (9/4/00-8/19/01), 1,055,000 homes (8/20/01-8/25/02), 1,067,000 homes (8/26/02-8/2003); 1,084,000 homes (2003-2004 season); 1,096,000 homes (2004-2005 season); 1,102,000 homes (2005-2006 season); 1,114,000 homes (2006-2007 season); 1,128,000 homes (2007-2008 season); 1,145,000 homes (2008-2009 season); 1,149,000 homes (2009-2010 season); 1,159,000 homes (2010-2011 season); 1,147,000 homes (2011-2012 season); 1,142,000 homes (2012-2013 season); 1,158,000 homes (2013-2014 season); 1,164,000 homes (2014-2016 seasons); 1,184,000 homes (2016-2017 season); 1,196,000 homes (2017-2018 season); 1,199,000 homes (2018-2019 season); 1,206,000 homes (2019-2020 season); 1,210,000 homes (2020-2021 season); 1,224,000 homes (2021-2022 season).
