1/30/95 it aired for 59 minutes (in 95 percent of the country). Why do you think it was a full preemption? It was preempted 3 times in January 1995: 1/2/95 Carquest Auto Parts Bowl (130-503PM) 1/23/95 Y&R Classics (3-4PM) 1/25/95 Unrated special report (3-305PM) & CBS Soapbreak (305-330PM) & Bold and the Beautiful (330-4PM) Two partial preemptions: 1/24/95 from 3-306PM (then aired the rest to 83 percent of the country) 1/30/95 from 3-301PM (then aired the rest to 95 percent of the country) So if you "need" an extra preemption to make airdates fit, it looks like the more likely date would be 1/24/95, since 17 percent of the country didn't get the episode.

Luckily, most of the OJ preemptions were actually rated, so we have the exact timings for all of those now (at least for NBC). For some reason, NBC only did not rate the 1/26/95 OJ trial (by process of elimination, since we had Trial 4 & Trial 6, I titled it Trial 5). The only other unrated item was the 3/3/95 Presidential Press Conference (but the last 10 minutes of analysis was rated). As already stated on my website, East & Central time zone stations had local fill for Days on 5/30/94 and 11/23/95 for sports events which aired at 1PM PT.

I have just posted the Another World 1994-1995 preemptions in the 1990's ratings thread, so I will be adding the rest of the soaps in that thread when time permits. Of course, as you know, alphabetically next is one of your soaps, BB, so check there for that data soon! (Oops, I just saw ATWT is next, but BB is coming soon after).

1994-1995 PREEEMPTIONS DATA... I was asked about the 1994-1995 preemptions data, so to get the ball rolling on when soaps were preempted for the OJ Simpson trial, I will be posting the full & partial preemptions from 1994-1995 for all soaps here. When I have more time I can check on what the "rated" preemption reasons were, but these years will not have any "unrated" (sustaining) program titles available (but, of course, any of those would be for special reports, so when that happens, I will just list those as "Unrated Special Report"). Notes: Blank lines are full preemptions; Lines with data are breakouts/partial preemptions. PBO = Portion is a breakout (these portions of the episode are not counted towards the weekly/yearly averages).

1978 WEEKLY NIELSEN CHARTS NOW POSTED, PLUS A CHECKLIST OF NIELSEN RATINGS DATA STILL MISSING SINCE 12/26/77... The 1978 weekly ratings data is now available here: http://www.jason47.com/days/ratings1978.html In addition, here is a checklist of the 10 weeks of Nielsen ratings data still missing since the week of 12/26/77: Two Full Regular Weeks (2): 4/10/78, 4/17/78. These two weeks are missing the final ratings/shares/affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books. ATWT had one preemption during the two missing weeks. Two Partial Regular Weeks (2): 10/19/87, 12/14/87. These two weeks have ratings data, unconfirmed but likely to be accurate, from a SON post in 2019. These weeks are missing the shares/affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books.

LAST TWO WEEKS FROM 1978 "MISSING WEEKS" PREEMPTIONS CONFIRMED... All soaps had 20 additional telecasts comparing the 4/7/78 list and 5/12/78, except for ATWT, which had only 19 telecasts. (The week of 4/24/78 is a fast weekly week and does not count in the telecasts). That confirms ATWT had one full preemption during the two missing weeks of 4/10/78 and 4/17/78. # of Telecasts as of 4/7/78...as of 5/12/78 (should all be 20 more) AMC 129...149 AW 126...146 ATWT 127...146 (1 preemption) DAYS 129...149 DOC 126...146 EDGE 123...143 FOR 73...93 GH 54...74 GL 96...116 LOVE 128...148 OLTL 55...75 RYAN 129...149 SEARCH 127...147 YR 127...147

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 2/1/88-2/5/88 & 2/8/88-2/12/88: FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 2/15/88-2/19/88 & 2/22/88-2/26/88:

Since they are in a different format, I just attempted AMC preemptions for 1994-1995. For these years, we will not have the exact times of special reports (when they air inside an episode, say from 120-126PM). We also only have the percentage of affiliates airing the episode (not the #). The preemption dates can be figured out quickly enough as I just did with AMC, but the reasons (whenever I research this more fully) will only be available for rated shows (no longer have the titles on un-rated special reports, but of course they usually are just titled ABC Special Report, so you can figure that to be the case usually). I didn't check on preemption reasons, so for now the full preemption dates are the ones that are fully blank. Just wanted to try out one soap to see how it went. So here you go, the AMC 1994-1995 preemptions, covering the two years of the OJ case: All My Children 1/17/94 4/22/94 1-138 (38 minutes); 138-2PM PBO (75 percent affs) 4/26/94 1-133 (33 minutes); 133-2PM PBO (74 percent affs) 5/23/94 1-149 (49 minutes) 6/17/94 (52 minutes) (8 minute preemption during episode) 6/20/94 1-130 & 145-2 (45 minutes); 130-145 PBO (74 percent affs) 6/28/94 (41 minutes) (19 minute preemption during episode) 6/30/94 7/1/94 7/5/94 7/6/94 7/7/94 7/8/94 7/22/94 8/19/94 1-130 (30 minutes) 9/16/94 (50 minutes) (10 minute preemption during episode) 11/24/94 11/25/94 1/2/95 1/24/95 1-122 (22 minutes) 1/25/95 1/30/95 1/31/95 101-2 (59 minutes) 2/6/95 1-153 (53 minutes) 2/27/95 1-154 (54 minutes) 4/19/95 4/20/95 (53 minutes) (7 minute preemption during episode) 8/10/95 1-130 (30 minutes) 8/16/95 110-2 (50 minutes) 9/4/95 9/26/95 1-129 (29 minutes; listed as breakout; 83 percent affs) 10/16/95 127-2 (33 minutes) 11/8/95 124-2 (36 minutes); 1-124 PBO (80 percent affs) 11/23/95 11/24/95 12/25/95

Regardless of the books, which provide additional details like the demos, I do now have all of the main data for the remainder of 1992-1999, so no worries, all preemption data will eventually be available. You will have a detailed list of all full preemptions, partial preemptions, breakouts, etc... for all soaps through at least 1999. VCR SHARES...DECEMBER 1988: As promised last night, here are the VCR recording shares for the week of 12/12/88. As some of you had guessed, Days was by far the # 1 leader. I had never given that much thought, thinking most shows had lots of fans taping them back to the early 1980's, but I guess I was spoiled since I only watch Days, which had a 1.0 VCR share, almost double every other soap! Thanks to all the early Days fans for both recording, and some keeping those recordings!

COMPLETE LIST OF "DAYS" FULL & PARTIAL PREEMPTIONS: 1979-1988: Thanks to the Nielsen books, we now have confirmation of not just the full preemptions of "Days", but also all of the partial preemptions and any episodes rated as "breakouts" or specials. Note: Partial preemption data is unavailable for 3 weeks (8/24/81, 10/19/87, 12/14/87). Here is the complete list: Per my previous preemption research, the 23-minute episode that aired on 10/19/81 and the 9-minute episode aired on 8/21/84 were considered national preemptions and re-aired the following day. For some unknown reason, the 12-minute episode aired on 8/20/82 was not considered a national preemption. Other items of note: "Days" had two special time slot airings: It aired from 2-3PM on 1/1/79 and was split in half and aired from 1-130 & 230-3PM on 12/8/87.
