On a separate note, I don't understand CBS's motivation to part with SFT. Its numbers have dipped from a year ago when it was performing very well, but so have YR's. Either way, the numbers are still reasonable. It could have easily been retuned, although its dip most likely had to do with timeslot change more than anything else. 

I wonder if demos weren't as great due to it being an older soap.

Awesome, I had thought that was the case but could never confirm the Jan 31 pre-emption. Thank you for this

Is it definitely Jan 27??? As I thought it was Jan 28 for the Challenger explosion. That's interesting if it was Jan 27

The preemptions are Tue 1/28 and Fri 1/31.   The first column is always the "Week of", so it's the "Week of 1/27-1/31" The notes column states the preemptions are Tuesday and Friday.

I'm excited to see the rest of those years!!  I think 1986 is another year we kind of weren't sure with Y&R preemptions for January, so it will be great to see. 

I just looked at the January 1986 charts. YR preempted twice that month:

1/27/86-1/31/86    Young and the Restless    CBS    8.6    27    206    99    Preempted Tuesday- CBS News Special Report/Friday- Memorial Service: Challenger

you are on a role!  

Thanks!

All the time frames are at a different point in the prep period:

1980-1981 is fully posted.

1982 is fully done and ready to post.

1983-1985 charts need to be sorted & cropped.

1986 is being typed up, with 1987 to type up next.

So, all in all, things are moving along smoothly with the ratings!

I wish we had demos regularly available back then.

All of the demos (the demo average of the 2-week Nielsen time frame in each book) are available, so any specific demos needed prior to 1991 will be available.

Excellent! That's wonderful. Thanks again! That would be 1976, If I recall correctly. 

10/1/76.

@JAS0N47  This makes me think of something. Do you have the ratings for DAYS Doug & Julie's first wedding?  It supposedly had an audience of 16 million which was then surpassed when GH L&L had 30 million. It would just be interesting to see if those 1970s ratings support that. It's so exciting seeing L&L's. I suppose this should be in the 70s ratings thread. Sorry. 

1978-1989 at the moment. Earlier years to come at a later date.

Perchance do you have the daily ratings for this week? 

They only list weekly ratings. So weekly ratings only for 1979-1989.

Steve Blackwood (Bart) isn't a fan of Farah Fath.

 

I had the exact opposite thing when I met Dee randomly. She had just finished a long signing of her Marlena doll in NYC. I was arriving for a later signing of a group of actors, so I hadn't expected to see her. She came out a side door of 30 Rock as I was arriving for the other signing. As soon as I saw her, I ran over and asked if she would sign my "Days" book (which I had with me for the other signing). The NBC security with her was trying to push her into the waiting car, but she brushed them off and said she would gladly sign my book. Then a mother and young son walked by and asked for a photo with her, and she gladly obliged, all the while as the security was annoyed that she wouldn't get in the car. So, my one fan experience was very nice with Dee. So, I can say for certainty, that for myself, that woman and her son, she did not snap at anyone of us for speaking to her. And this wasn't even at a fan event, this was just on the street where she could have just simply walked into her car as the security was telling her to do so.

In Feb. during its transition to one hour episodes, it was head to head with AMC from 1-2pm. In June, it shifted to an earlier start time of 12:30, putting it up against the low-rating Doctors at the time and Ryan's Hope which was performing reasonably but not at the height of the rest of the ABC lineup. This half hour lead might have been an advantage to YR.

I would be curious to see what the half hour ratings for YR would be at this time.

I think Y and R competed against All My Children in June 1981.

@kalbir What were the CBS schedules in June 1981 after June 8?

Not Kalbir, but I already had this file open for the above question, so CBS schedule for June 1981 is thIs:

Jeffersons 10-1030

Wow, thanks for typing that all out. It's crazy how detailed that is to the minute.

That is Nielsens one purpose! To accurately rate everything on TV. And to do that, they need an accurate record of the exact times everything aired.
