Screen Gems became (or was gobbled up by) Sony. I think I answered this before, maybe for you or someone else. They are the distributor of the show. Their main job was accomplished in the US when they sold Days to NBC. Their main focus since is as the international distributor of the show to all of the countries outside of the US.

"DAYS" HISTORY FANS...PRODUCTION FILE NOTE CARDS POSTED! Working on the preemptions lists recently reminded me of these production file note cards that I had filed away with the script covers a long time ago, so I finally got around to scanning them. They are a set of 46 note cards (or 92 images if you count both sides!) that NBC used to keep track of cast changes and preemption information for the show, pre-computer era, from 1965-1985. https://www.jason47.com/days/notecards.html

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 4/25/88-4/29/88 & 5/2/88-5/6/88: FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 5/9/88-5/13/88 & 5/16/88-5/20/88:

Yes, October 5. Here is my FB post from that day: HENRY NEWMAN NOW LISTED AS FULL-TIME WRITER... Henry Newman started being listed in today's credits as a full-time script writer. Up until now, he had only been listed in the credits when he was the script writer of the specific episode.

I think I figured out, maybe, why "Days" re-airs the 4/19/93 episode on 4/20/93, but does not re-air the other 3 "short" episodes. One would think all these four episodes would be re-aired, since they were all under 30 minutes. My guess is that the three episodes (11/12/92, 3/23/93 and 4/23/93) had preemptions in a later time zone, Perhaps once the Eastern time zone gets the full episode, then if there's a large preemption of 30 minutes or more in the Central, Mountain or Pacific time zones, since it's already aired on the East Coast, those later time zone preemptions do not trigger a national preemption. That's the only thing that makes sense to me, as to why the 19 minute episode of 4/19/93 gets a repeat airing the next day, but not the 17 minute episode of 3/23/23. The news preemption of 4/19/93 must have been from 119-2PM Eastern, while the news preemption on 3/23/93 must have been from 1-143PM Pacific. 11/12/92 1-104 & 143-2PM (21 minutes); 104-143 PBO (44 percent affs) 3/23/93 143-2PM (17 minutes); 1-143 PBO (46 percent affs) 4/19/93 1-119PM (19 minutes); 119-2 PBO (42 percent affs) **Note: Episode re-aired next day 4/23/93 148-2PM (12 minutes); 1-148 PBO (46 percent affs) How does that thinking sound to everyone??

Nielsen lists everything with Eastern start times only (it doesn't list when the Mountain & Pacific time zones aired the shows, it just lumps those airings into the overall data as though they all aired Days at 1 and AW at 2), so here's what it lists: 5/27/91 is one of the issues we are missing. 5/25/92 Days (1-2PM; 94 percent of affs); AW (2-3PM; 90 percent of affs); NBA Showtime (3-325PM); NBA Playoff: Chicago at Cleveland (325-609PM) 5/31/93 Days (1-2PM; 94 percent of affs); AW (2-3PM; 87 percent of affs); NBA Showtime (3-326PM); NBA Playoff: New York at Chicago (326-630PM) 5/30/94 French Open aired from 10AM-1PM; Nothing is listed for 1-3PM (so NBC gave these Eastern time slots back to their local affiliates this day, so I list that as Local Fill); NBA Showtime (3-325PM); NBA Playoff: New York at Indiana (325-630PM) 5/29/95 Days (1-2PM; 97 percent of affs); AW (2-3PM; 87 percent of affs); NBA Showtime (3-333PM); NBA Playoff: Orlando at Indiana (333-615PM) 5/27/96 Days (1-2PM; 98 percent of affs); AW (2-3PM; 96 percent of affs); NBA Showtime (3-332PM); NBA Playoff: Chicago at Orlando (332-630PM) 5/26/97 Days (1-2PM; 98 percent of affs); AW (2-3PM; 96 percent of affs); NBA Showtime (3-329PM); NBA Playoff: Chicago at Miami (329-613PM) 5/25/98 Days (1-2PM; 99 percent of affs); AW (2-3PM; 93 percent of affs); NBA Showtime (3-327PM); NBA Playoff: Chicago at Indiana (327-617PM) 5/31/99 Days (1-2PM; 98 percent of affs); AW (2-3PM; 96 percent of affs); NBA Showtime (5-530PM); NBA Playoff: Portland at San Antonio (530-815PM) Note: Due to its 5PM start time, this game went 15 minutes into primetime. A Dateline NBC episode (which I guess was supposed to air from 8-9PM, only aired from 815-9PM).

Did YR second this time around, since YR fans had to wait til the end last time! This is far as I can take it with the non-Days soaps, so it's up to historians of the other soaps to figure out if any PARTIAL preemptions became FULL preemptions (with the partial episode being re-aired the next day).

Going forward to make it less confusing, I will split these out into two categories for each soap. I will do that for each soap to make the 1992-1995 lists final. Starting, of course, with my fave, Days! I only know, from my previous research, that Days was considered a national preemption on 4/19/93, so I included that additional note here. Also, I see I have to change one of the preemption reasons I had listed on my website. I had the 4PM NFL Game listed as the preemption for 11/25/93, but I now see that after the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade (which preempted John & Leeza from 9AM-12PM), John & Leeza then aired in the Days 1-2PM time slot, so I will make that change on my website as well!

That was a 43 minute preemption on 6/28/94. Only 17 minutes aired that day (which only 78 percent of affiliates saw), so yes probably a national preemption and reaired on 6/29/94. I see why you are reading it backwards. I guess it's how I typed it up. For the national preemptions, I list the reason. For the partial preemptions, I list when the partial episode AIRS. So anytime I list the minutes, it's for how long the episode aired that day. Sorry for the confusion! For 6/28/94 specifically, that's even more confusing. YR aired for 17 minutes at SOME POINT between 1255-130PM. There was also an 18 minute preemption at SOME POINT between 1255-130PM, but we don't know when that was. And, that also means YR was fully preempted from 1230-1255PM.

On both days from 2-230PM, CBS Soap Break aired. 75 percent of affiliates aired it on 12/30/94 and 77 percent of affiliates aired it on 12/29/95.

All of the 1994-1995 preemption reasons are now listed, except for ATWT, which I will finish up soon.

Oh, yes, then that would have made sense! But it was only preempted for 1 minute!!

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.
