I am wondering about Guiding Light of the week 1/19 to 1/23. Because your data say, that tuesday was preempted, but as i remember right , in the middle of the episode they showed a special report. So that episode was not preempted completely. And the next day 1/21 wasnt the repeat of 1/20. So i think 1/20 was only on for about 15minutes

"The new information includes an incident from a few months ago, in which an actress donned a spangly, somewhat tight-fitting ’70s-style jumpsuit and a David Bowie-style flock-of-seagulls haircut for several scenes. As the actress was walking off the stage with her male co-star, Alarr “comes walking on the set and in a big booming voice goes, ‘Hey, you big d*ke’,” an insider who was on the set that day told Deadline, adding that the shocking remark caught everyone by surprise, evoking gasps among the actress, her co-star and the crew. Touching upon every actress’ body image insecurities, “he meant it to be humiliating in front of an all-male crew,” the person said.

Note from Jason47: The actress has been confirmed to be Judi Evans, from a social media post she made earlier this year of her wearing the outfit.

25 cast members signed the petition to oust him.  How large is the cast?  That seems like everyone currently employed signed it.

There are 33 contract actors airing this week (taped 6 months ago). So, depending on how many have left or been added in the last few months, the cast size usually hovers around 30-35 at any given time.

A glitch in the ratings. ATWT had a higher number rating wise yet ranked below GL.

ATWT a steady #4 in the ratings in early 81.

A human glitch!  I guess I forgot to sort that week's ratings. I've replaced the chart above and posted the correct one now. I'm sure that will happen again when dealing with a decade of ratings, so if anyone notices I forget to sort a week, let me know.

Janet Spellman has been with the show for 39 years, so she is a great option, as is Greg Meng.

You are far from ignorant for asking a question - it stands for ANalysis Of VAriance.

The problem with published ratings is that they only report the average.  But, if you measure an effect, you need to prove the change over time exceeds chance.  For example, if during the course of a month the weekly ratings for Guiding Light go and up and down by 300 viewers each week, then any change week to week within 300 is just chance, because that is what we expect.  However, an ANOVA table calculates how much change would need to be observed to go beyond chance. 

Just like if you flip a coin twice and get tails once, that can be explained by the fact the there is a 50/50 chance of getting tails, but how many times do you have to observe getting tails in a row, before you could determine that there was something tricky about the coin.  Or, a child's height naturally grows over time, but how much height would they need to grow before you would fear that they'll be a giant.  As an analogy, the rating only report the height, they don't report the chance that the difference in height this week was expected because all children grow a few millimeters each week. 

Nielson doesn't publish the variance for the public, so you would need to calculate it yourself, because they are in the business of selling that data to the networks and ad agencies, and if they published it every week for free, nobody would pay for their ratings reports.

In this case, the change in audience numbers between June and July did not exceed the expected week-to-week change to the degree that we could determine that DAYS's New Orleans remote had an actual positive effect on the viewership.  Because they gained as many viewers as one would expect by chance.

Thank you for the explanation! Math was always my worst subject, so even though I like stats, I don't like doing calculations like that!!

The Special Report for 10/2/79 is Pope John Paul II speaking at the UN General Assembly, for those who like to keep track of preemptions.

It would be nice if Nielsen always listed what the special report is about, but a lot of times all it says is special report!

As we get more ratings posted, would this be the last time that AW would score a higher rating than DAYS?

The complete weekly ratings for the 1980's have never been available before, so I don't think anyone would know this question as of yet. But it's one of many that will be easily answerable once all the charts are posted! 

3 hours ago, j swift said:

The month before the Olympics DAYS had a 7.2

And the week of the Olympics it had 7.4

Another World had a 5.4 in June

and a 5.8 during the Olympics

If we consider the variance, these gains don't exceed chance, so it looks like counter programming didn't help.

ABC soaps benefitted from the Olympics

And average 1.3 change in ratings slightly exceed chance, indicating a significant gain

CBS remained stable, with no changes that exceeded chance, even though it lost more viewers than NBC or ABC.  CBS's numbers vary the most from week to week in the 1984 data listed here, so the change is expected.

It was fun to break out the old ANOVA tables to figure out the stats, thanks @JAS0N47 @watson71 @kalbir & @AbcNbc247 for the additional information.

So, if we could travel back to 1984, our advice to NBC would be to follow whatever CBS did during the Olympics. Don't spend the money on the remotes, because they won't have a significant effect (and SOD reported that the rain in New York messed up the production schedule for AW) and, hold Santa Barbara's premiere (and their very expensive floors) until the fall.  Hindsight is 20/20.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is an ANOVA table??

19 hours ago, j swift said:

I have a question, but I don't know the dates.

Did any soap benefit from the Olympics disruptions in 1984 or 1988?  And did any of those gains last?

I ask because I know Santa Barbara on NBC premiered poorly against the Olympics on ABC in 1984.  But, I was wondering if fans used the opportunity to sample other soaps to a degree that there was actually an uptick in ratings?  I think the dates don't align, but I was pondering if Steve & Kayla's wedding, or other big soap events, were successfully used as counter programming?
