June 26, 2006 is the last time they beat them with a rating (I have to double check). They've beat them in HH viewers a lot more time than they've beat them in rating.

ETA:

It was 7/10/06 for last HH Rating win. 10/20/08 for last HH Viewer win.

Days is still kickin' it! Third place.

[Scotty]

How funny is it that GH, the crown jewel of ABC Daytime, was beaten by AMC and almost beaten by OLTL?

[mamasita]

I am loving Y&R, This soap is the only true real soap on tv, i feel im back in the 80's with the new storylines, the pace of them and the use of flashbacks, i think they are doing a wonderful job

[operagirl1]

Nice to know that OLTL is the number one soap in NYC. Those Charlotte numbers? Just wow.

[Scotty]

Yes, both numbers are interesting....especially that people in the largest city in the U.S. prefer OLTL. Didn't expect that.

And the Charlotte numbers are amazing.....remember when those numbers were the norm for soaps?

[CSF]

It's so funny! I'm not crazy about AMC at the moment, but the fact that it's ahead of GH puts a smile on my face! Now only if OLTL can surpass it as well.

[Scotty]

Hopefully OLTL too will pass up GH as well next week. I'm not an AMC fan either, but it always cracks me up when either one tops GH...which I have always hated.

Off-topic....but is anyone else watching this Syracuse/Conneticut Big East tournament game on ESPN? They are tied at 98 and are about to start a 4th overtime.

Talk about March Madness.....soaps and basketball.

[Scotty]

Still off-topic, but that ballgame is now going into a 5th overtime!.....never in my life have I seen anything like that.

Final score (6OT)

#20 Syracuse 127

#4 Connecticut 117

[Scotty]

I know....crazy isn't it? Only one game ever longer then that one (it was a 7 overtime game).

I never thought this one would end.

[chyti]

Actually the number one soap in NYC is AMC. As a new yorker I can say that ABC seems to be our choice maybe has something to do with the studios actually being here in the city.

[Scotty]

Actually, according to this OLTL is number 1 in NYC.

[Kryptonite]

DAYS looks like the only soap nationally to stabilize each day and have really strong ratings throughout the week. What happened on Wednesday-Friday? The soaps bled heavily on those days.

Thanks TMOTVSoaps for those local ratings. AMC and OLTL are slowly starting to pass GH as the crown jewel soaps for ABC as AMC had one of its better weeks in the ratings in a long time except that 1.9 on Friday. GH still leads where it matters and that's the demos but ABC can't be too happy with how GH has been free falling the hardest out of all the soaps since 2007.

Maybe ABC should just ask Nielsen not to just include soaps in the north and east and other strong cities. LOL!

Interesting ratings in Charlotte, a 11.2 was just amazing and all three networks were really high. DAYS is actually the most solid performing soap in almost all the markets TMOTVSoaps posted. DAYS is doing better than that brutal 4th hour of the The Today Show.

For some reason the ratings for the CBS Soaps in Chicago don't really tell the whole. I know a few people who watch CBS Daytime over ABC Daytime in that town but CBS has traditionally been operated horribly by its affiliates out there and ABC Daytime has been king since the 70s out there.

The most interesting to jump out at me is how well B&B is doing on its own without strong lead-ins.

Glad you posted the times they air too as it gives me a chance to see how their doing.

I wish we could get a better picture on the ratings on the West Coast because you can tell the ratings don't include all their data. That's the only thing about West Coast ratings they never show up well in the fast nationals. If I had to judge for LA and the bay, I would say their gettings 3s for CBS and ABC and low 2s for NBC.
