Members dm. Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 No AMC, OLTL, GH or DOOL today. Only Y&R and B&B air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 no that's not right, ATWT and GL was on too. http://www.soapoperadigest.com/news/breaking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 Wow talk about ABC not taking advantage of the Fourth....DOOL I know is never shown because of Wimbledon. All of CBS will be shown ATWT and GL too. What a mistake by ABC not to show original programming today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well, I'm never sure about the holiday effect. Does viewership go UP (because people are home) or DOWN (because people have other stuff to do)? Does it matter whether it is summer (when more people would be likely to leave the house) or winter? Does anyone know these trends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 The ratings in the past for the 4th of July week were high. I am not sure lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 ABC IS showing repeats of AMC, OLTL, and GH today from earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 Last years Fourth of July numbers were low for all soaps. But they were not counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bandbfan Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'll be interested to see what today's numbers are. You would think 4th of July = vacation, but maybe not so much this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 Thanks. I realized today: With pre-emptions, networks used to save 5 or 10 episodes a year (trials, breaking news). Now, they don't pre-empt. Even if they do, the episode usually plays online, Soapnet, or in the wee hours. So the networks don't save on those traditionally pre-empted shows. These reruns are the new way to save. That said, I would run them on the holidays, and PROMOTE THE HECK OUT OF THEM. I'd make them all-time-great episodes, to try to lure in my lapsed viewers. But obviously I don't know anything. I do think all three reruns on ABC, but especially AMC, are good ones....they might lure a viewer or two.

Members Sylph Posted July 4, 2008 Members Share Posted July 4, 2008 But what is there to promote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jody Posted July 5, 2008 Members Share Posted July 5, 2008 I don't know whether it was A Repeat, but Days Of Our Lives was on SoapNet at 10 PM Central Time. Maybe SoapNet Repeated Thursday's Episode. The Ending I saw Right before The Young And The Restless was that I can't Remember, but it had John and Marlena. Marlena was Very Upset.
