Part of GL's problem, imo, is the fact that it's time slot differs around the country. I know in my neck of the woods it comes on at 10am.

[dawn9476]

It airs at 10 am here in Detroit. I think it airs at 10 am in NYC, too.

Yup, there was a snow storm in my area also and there was no school. I was surprised those talkative weather people didn't try to interupt the soaps.

Wonder how the NBC soaps did.

[Manny]

Yeah, I can't wait to see how DAYS did!!!

[SuperFlyChad]

Y&R 4.3 (+.3)

B&B 3.4 (+.2)

GH 3.0 (+.2)

ATWT 2.8 (+.1)

AMC 2.7 (+.2)

OLTL 2.7 (+.2)

GL 2.3 (SAME)

YES THE MICHAEL AND LAUREN WAS A SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!

[OneLife Fan]

YAY!! Nice to see OLTL rising in the ratings once again!!

[alwaysAMC]

AMC and OLTL are in top 3 for main demo! Loving that!

4.7 for Y&R

3.8 for B&B

3.1 for ATWT

WOWOWOWOW Good job to them

Look at some of those Friday numbers for CBS! Wow. Y&R got a 4.7, B&B 3.8, ATWT 3.1 (!), & GL 2.4 . When was the last time ATWT was in the threes?

One of GL's primary problems is that it's on in the am in many sections of the country and affiliates seem to be prone to interrupt the mid-morning programming with news updates (especially continuing in after the morning shows). Those affiliates have GL *leading* the CBS line-up with nothing but syndicated and/or local programming preceeding it and the CBS Morning Show (or whatever it's called nowadays, the lowest rated network morning show) before that. I've heard that GL does well in most parts of the country where it airs in the AM, but I don't know what kind of ratings its typical competition receives against it. Is it possible that there aren't that many viewers at 10am generally (across the board) which would make GL's ratings lower automatically? Just a curious theory on my part. In a related thought, how does GL's share usually stack up in the AM?

[King]

UGH! Come on, DAYS!

I thought snowstorms are usually bad for ratings? Yeah, people are home, but there's also pre-empting and stuff, usually?

Dayum, Y&R got a 4.7 rating for Michael and Lauren's wedding! When was the last time that happened? Good for them.

The SOD Insider said they went way up and sho nuff, they did.

[SpiritualJunkie]

Yeah, I really think it is the 10am timeslot and the fact that GL doesn't even air in some areas that is really screwing up their ratings. I'd be interested to know how the ratings would turn out if they had a 3pm timeslot everywhere.

2.7 in HH for AMC is their highest I think since May/June of this year. Awesome! 1.9 in demos is the highest in months as well. This week with Bianca coming home tomorrow should boost them as well.

[Hartless]

Glad all my soaps went up! Wish ATWT was higher but ah well.

Congrats to Y&R! Even though I'm not loving the show at least the wedding is helping with the ratings.

Nice to see ATWT with 3.64 million viewers. And back at #3 in Total Viewers. Good to see them up in HH's too. I wish it was higher too. But next weeks numbers for ATWT should be much higher. It has been a great week!

It's good to see ATWT with a 3.1 for Friday's eppy. It was a good one with a great cliffhanger.
