GH: Nightshift Ratings

[EastMA2]

I haven't seen this posted here yet. Apologies if it already has been posted. Found this info on mediaweek.

-General Hospital: Night Shift Scores on SOAPnet:

Two episodes to-date, season two of SOAPnet’s General Hospital: Night Shift is averaging a healthy 466,000 total viewers, with 170,000 key women 18-49. Comparably, this is an increase of a significant 81 percent in households and 68 percent among adults 18-49 over the prior four-week time period average.

My comments: Even though ratings are much higher than previous timeslot competitors, didn't last season's 1st episode get something like 1.1 million viewers? And didn't the whole 1st season of Nightshift average something like 800,000 viewers? Isn't Nighshift in Days Tuesday timeslot? If so, from the info above we can figure out what kind of ratings Days usually gets there since it is always so hard to get Soapnet ratings info.

Days does AWFUL on soapnet. thats why it always gets the shaft. and to be honest that doesnt bother me because as a network if you have a show that fails and have an idea that will do better .. well id do it too. thats why SNM is actually a hit for soapnet.

Good for Night Shift...but not happy right now with some people at SOAPnet

Considering SN's regular daytime line doesn't get much more than 200,000 viewers, Night Shift is doing quite well for their timeslot. I've heard folks are pleased with these numbers and will continue to be if the show stays consistent.

JP, I love that you always defend SoapNet.

I wanna kiss you for these numbers! They are so hard to get.

Can anyone find last season's Night Shift numbers hard-and-fast? I'd like to know how it compares for sure.

What this says is that Days is getting fewer than 260,000 viewers total, and just over 100,000 in the demographic!

No wonder it keeps getting pre-empted.

What kind of numbers does Y&R get?? Or the AMC lineup in primetime?

Errol, does this mean the Soapnet "Star Network" thing is not going well? I'll hope they are not trying to stiff you on promised ad revenues!

ha, thats because i have friends who work in the biz and i understand the situation. i dont look at it from a fan POV, i look at it frfom a buisness stand point.

That probably doesn't take in account on how many people recorded it via DVR and Tivo. I think primetime shows wait 7 days from the original showing to look at DVR playback numbers. I would think SN would do the same with NS.

That about half the ratings that NS! got but if if Soapnet is happy with the ratings so am i.

It should also be noted that NS! was super-hyped and NS@ wasn't so those ratings aren't too shabby!

What did the Soapnet peeps do to make u angry?

Not to mention, NS1 was a novelty and Guza burned through half of them and drove the series into the ground. The new writers had an uphill battle to win back viewers who turned NS off in disgust last year.
