Members EastMA2 Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Not bitter at all. Far from it. GL was a shell of its former self and deserved cancellation. LMAD's ratings being higher than GL's at a fraction of GL's cost just proves that CBS made the right move. I'm actually surprised at how little I miss GL. I just take exception to your always know it all attitude. LMAD's ratings are very available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 I think that's b/c, like you said, GL was a shell of its former self when it was canceled. I'm sure most, if not all, GL fans miss it; I know I do. But most of us have had, what, ten years to prepare for this day (when it wouldn't be on the air)? It's not like it was w/ ANOTHER WORLD, which people were starting to enjoy again before PGP and NBCD pulled the proverbial rug out from under them.

Members Sylph Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 You think a 3.7 is too high for Y&R's seasonal rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Maybe not. But I do think 2.3 is too high for Days as an average or median. And the demo averages seem off for both Days and GH. Both have had a week or 2 of 1.5 but have been consistantly in the 1.3 range for several weeks now.

Members boldfan01 Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 A lot of those moves are nearly impossible without some kind of cancellation. ABC Daytime and CBS Daytime have a set amount of time that belongs to them. The rest of the time belongs to the affiliates, who likely won't give time back to the networks. ABC can't add DAYS without canceling something else. ABCD has 4 hours of programming, including THE VIEW. They used to have 4.5 but they gave the half hour that used to belong to PORT CHARLES back to the affiliates when that show was canceled. So they don't have a time slot for DAYS unless they cancel something else. Similarly, CBSD has 4.5 hours of programming. 2.5 hours of that time are available to soaps, since the other two are taken by PRICE IS RIGHT and LETS MAKE A DEAL. So you can't expand B&B to an hour and add DAYS at the same time unless something gives with TPIR or LMAD. And given that CBS is pulling in comparable or better ratings with LMAD (when compared to GL) at half the cost, why would they want to take that time and give it to soaps? And the odds of a soap airing at 12 PM in east coast markets isn't very likely since that 12 PM hour belongs to the affiliates, many of which use it for local news. A lot would depend on the current agreement between Sony and NBC. For instance, does NBC have first refusal rights for DAYS, with a specific time where they have to exercise that option? If it does, SONY can't shop it elsewhere, whether they want to or not, until they are clear of NBC's option period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 I totally acknowledge this, but I'm not alone in this at SON. Most importantly, I don't usually go around using pejorative terms to insult others when they don't agree with me or when they are right and I am wrong. If only because I am an adult and it is against SON's rules last time I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoseVioletDaisy Posted December 21, 2009 Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 Um, Ann never said she knew everything in her post. She simply said that while she hadn't seen any numbers for LMAD, she'd read in an article about ATWT's cancellation that LMAD was doing well. Better than GL in fact. She never said that she knew the exact numbers. You did. That puts the onus on you to produce them if you have a point to make. When someone else posted them, they proved Ann right. LMAD is out-performing GL, especially when it's cost is taken into account. Is there some reason you're being so hostile and rude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mary Beth Posted December 21, 2009 Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 Right. that's the "plus Same Day" in the "Live plus Same Day" ratings. What I was talking about were viewers that view the show on DVR up to 7 days after airing. I found this from one of the NBC/DOOL press releases: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted December 24, 2009 Members Share Posted December 24, 2009 So will the ratings that would be posted this week be delayed cause of the holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 25, 2009 Members Share Posted December 25, 2009 We'll be lucky if we get the ratings by Monday. The next two weeks the ratings are delayed longer than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
