Let's Make A Deal Ratings

LMAD #2

HH: 1.6

W18-49: 0.7

Hoping to see OLTL and AMC get some better ratings.

DAYS is DEFINITELY going to #2 or huge jump because EJ finally knows that Nicole had a miscarriage.

i hope days will go up to #2 Ej finds out the truth and the performing of JS & AZ was amazing.and finally Carly returns

I don't want the industry to die, but I would love it if Y&R took a huge drop in the ratings.

I don't think Days will hit no 2 but it could be very close to it. I don't like how slow it's coming out though.(Baby switch revealation)

I HOPE Y&R hits a 3.5 or lower and I hope OLTL beats ATWT and AMC

I want a big bump for DOOL, I think they deserve it

i hope toups will give us some good news for days

I'm a very lapsed DAYS viewer, but I've tuned back in recently, and I have to say that I'm liking what is airing. I especially like the dialogue. It's simple, crisp and a throw back to the good ol' days of soaps when writers didn't try to be so darn clever at the expense of the characters. People on DAYS talk like "real people." As much as I enjoy OLTL at times, it sounds "written." I think DAYS deserves a bump in its ratings. They seem to have found the formula for bringing back viewers--engaging characters, intriguing story and "real" dialogue. Good for them.

Does anyone has ABC Daytime Press release?

Perhaps this can go here:

Dear Fellow Members,

The current economic crisis has had a profound global impact, and the WGAW has not escaped it. Despite formidable challenges, we are pleased to report that your Guild remains in excellent financial shape. The Guild owns its headquarters with no debt and our investments stand at $12.8 million, including a total of $7.4 million in our Strike and Good & Welfare Funds.

In this annual report to members, you will find the WGAW ’s financial statements, notes to financial statements, and other relevant industry and employment data for the past fiscal year.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, the Guild took in $20.9 million after combining revenues with unrealized investment losses caused by the struggling economy. Our expenses for the year totaled $26 million. This resulted in a deficit of $5.1 million.

During FY 2009, TV and screen earnings decreased by 3 percent and 31 percent, respectively. Guild revenues of $22.7 million in dues and fees, however, were only 3.4 percent lower than FY 2008’s total of $23.5 million. This relatively small decline was due mainly to improved collection of delinquent and underreported dues.

Unrealized investment losses exceeded investment income, which resulted in a $1.9 million net investment loss for FY 2009. This was down $3.6 million from FY 2008 investment gains due to turmoil in the financial markets and steep declines in equity markets.

Guild expenditures of $26 million were only slightly lower than FY 2008’s total of $26.3 million. This relatively narrow margin reflected extraordinary expenses related to staff severance costs and maintaining a reserve for estimated uncollectible strike loans. The difficult decision to lay off just under 10 percent of our employees was made in order to balance the FY 2010 budget and to maintain adequate reserves for contract enforcement, jurisdiction expansion, and future negotiations.

Your Membership and Finance Committee is made up of five members and is mandated by the WGAW Constitution. Among its duties, the committee oversees the annual audit process performed by the independent accounting firm of Miller, Kaplan, Arase & Co.

We present this Annual Report to keep you informed of the Guild’s financial condition. We look forward to reporting our financial performance to you throughout the year.

Sincerely,

The Membership and Finance Committee

Elias Davis (chair), Tony DeSena, Ashley Gable, Adam Rodman, and Alison Taylor

LOL me too! I saw the show and - GL was cancelled for this?

Not ratings news, but I did find an interesting tidbit about online ratings for Days in terms of streams on NBC.com (I think). Check out this post from TVByTheNumbers at http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/10/15/abc-com-is-the-no-1-online-broadcast-site-in-september/30568

Top 10 Programs – Total Streams (September‘09)

Program Net Total Streams

No. 1 Grey’s Anatomy ABC 10.0 million

No. 2 Dancing with the Stars ABC 7.8 million

No. 3 The Office NBC 7.0 million

No. 4 FlashForward ABC 6.8 million

No. 5 Glee Fox 6.5 million

No. 6 Heroes NBC 5.6 million

No. 7 Vampire Diaries CW 5.4 million

No. 8 America’s Got Talent NBC 4.3 million

No.9t gossip girl CW 4.1 million

No.9t Days of Our Lives NBC 4.1 million

Now I don't know what all of the online terminology means when it comes to streams, unique viewers, etc. But I can't help but think that this is an impressive number for a soap. Sure, they have more episodes to view (20 in a month, as opposed to 4 for primetime shows). And I'm also unsure as to whether this includes Hulu viewings. But seeing Days in that company stuck out, and I thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention.
