A note on the ratings. I will be pausing the posts on the ratings for a bit due to time constraints. Look more towards probably August for the regular ratings posts to return. And 1980's ratings fans, as a teaser, you now have a LOT more to look forward to than just the first year (1980) of the decade!!

Thanks, so the only debut or cancellation was the Texas debut on 8/4/80, which happens to be the next 1980 week I'm posting.

So I can make a notation on the Nielsen week that it happens, does anyone have a handy list of what soap changes (debuts, cancellations, title changes) happened between 1979-1981. I've already posted the Nielsen charts for January-July 1980, so the only potential changes needed would be for February 1979-December 1979 and August 1980-December 1981.

Yes, I know. "Days", when it aired on NBC until last year, would end at 58:11, but the final commercial break of 1:49 until the next show started would be counted as part of the 60-minute Days Nielsen telecast. I was just pointing out about Love of Life. Since it aired for only 24 minutes (including commercials), followed by a 6-minute CBS newscast, Love of Life was probably the shortest runtime of any soap (when you removed the commercials), being less than the average 22-minute half hour soap. Possibly only being 18 minutes or so.

All of the other soaps are listed by Nielsen as either 30 or 60 minutes. Love of Life stood out since it is listed as 24 minutes. There are 1-2 minute Newsbriefs rated separately by Nielsen, which air during the soap broadcasts, that are technically included in the 30 or 60 minute broadcasts. I guess those aired as part of a commercial break during some of the soaps. For the week of 12/18/78-12/22/78, for instance, here are the additional daytime programs aired during soaps: CBS Mid-Day News-Edwards 11:54-12:00 (5.5 rating/23 share) ABC Newsbrief is aired during All My Children (sustaining, no rating) NBC News Update is aired during Doctors & Another World (both sustaining, no rating)

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 12/11/78-12/15/78 & 12/18/78-12/22/78: Note about Love of Life. I was surprised to notice today that its runtime each day was only 24 minutes. It aired from 1130-1154, followed by 6 minutes of CBS Mid-Day News. So, with some commercials, I guess it was the shortest runtime of any of the soaps.
