Interesting. In NY/D.C., 4-5 is Oprah/Ellen/Judge Judy/Judge Pirro/Judge Whoever time, then the news for a couple of hours and lighter syndicated fair (TMZ, The Simpsons, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Seinfeld, et cetera an hour-an hour and a half before primetime).

So West Coast get an extra hour in the afternoon (3 o'clock) to air syndicated fare.

I'm sure this goes back to the days when soaps aired live from New York.ATWT for example would air live at 1.30 NYT which would be 12.30 in LA.They wouldn't do the shows twice so the timeslots became entrenched.That extra hour in the afternoons would make more money for the stations due to greater numbers watching at 3.00 and they would have been loathed to give it up when shows went to tape and could be run on any schedule.

Does that make sense?

here is abc daytime in LA...

9am: Regis & Kelly

10a: The View

11a: News

12p: AMC

1pm: OLTL

2pm: GH

3p: Oprah

4pm: News

The news goes from 4-6:30 and at 6:30 its World News then Jepordy & Wheel of Fortune.

When Port Charles/Loving/The City/etc.. were on they would come on at 11am, followed by news at 11:30 then AMC at 12. This swapped when CBS moved Y&R from 11 to 11:30 and ABC moved PC to 11:30 as well. When it ended they just added another half hour of news. KABC's News is the #1 news station in socal and has been for years. I believe the networks biggest competition for news/syndication is actually our CW network.

CBS' daytime lineup starts at 9am with Lakes Make A Deal, 10a is The Price is Right, 11a is news, 11:30 is Y&R followed by B&B at 12:30 and ATWT at 1pm. Rachel Ray is at 2pm (replacing GL) and then Judge Judy at 3pm followed by dr Phil at 4p. 5-7p is News.

NBC is all news from like 4am-Noon. 12-1 is lets make a deal. 1pm is DAYS, 2pm is Martha, 3pm is Bonnie Hunt, 4pm is Ellen. 5-7p is News.

Wow, looking this NBC Daytime really is in shambles. Not just having one soap, it ONLY had one thing. I really wish NBC would try to get two hours back from the affiliates and build a solid daytime block. Not even another soap (tho it would be great!). ABC def has the strongest lineup of the bunch, IMHO.

Things should be interesting in sept with the new season tho. Oprah, Bonnie, Martha will all be gone. The View might go syndicated. ATWT will be gone. Oh, and isnt NBCUniversal putting The Real Housewives into syndication?

I never knew Days ran up against OLTL and ATWT in some markets but this explains why some posters on SON are both Days and Y&R fans. WNBC New York moved Days into the 2pm slot for about six months last year but reverted back to 1pm. Not running up against Y&R must help Days ratings to some extent. I've always wondered how AMC and Days did well against such a highly rated show. Also, never knew that B%B aired in certain markets without Y&R as a lead in. I thought the Bells had a deal with CBS so that the shows would run back to back.

I've always thought of soaps as an afternoon thing. I can't imagine watching any of these shows before noon. They are all too serious for the morning. GH must run in a lot of markets without another soap to compete with. Here in NYC, we get DR. Phil and another tlk show on NBC. I would think this would help GH in the ratings but the numbers are still so bad. I stil can't believe that a cheezy talk show can beat a $250,000 per eppy drama.

This reminds me: does anyone know how the old prime time episodes of Y&R did on CBS back in the 1990's. Obviously, the numbers could not have ben that great or, otherwise, we'd see it happen more often. The reason I ask this is that I am so curious how Days would fair in Jay Leno's prime time slot. The numbers would probably be pretty poor by NBC standard but would be great for The CW or MY Network. A revamped World Turns would be great for MY if it ran four nights per week. World Turns already scores higher numbers than 90210 and could work well on a mini-network.

DAYS used to air at 12 with B&B as it's only competition, but when PSNS was canceled it got pumped forward an hour. Any soap on MyNetworkTV or the CW isn't going to work, not in a daytime format. The key to getting ATWT saved is to repackage it as a primetime spin-off. Take a few characters and produce it like a regular old primetime show. That could work on a network like Lifetime. But taking the entire show would be too expensive and would require massive budget cuts. Then we'd have even more recasts, fired vets, etc. and fans would just complain.

I never knew Y&R and Days ever aired against eachother. I didnt figure they would since they are both owned, somewhat, by sony. Im not surprised AMC did well against Y&R or that any other soap would given the timeslot of Noon. Its lunch for most. The Bell's do not have a deal that sys they have to air back to back, tho i think in most markets they always just have. However i do know when i visted a friend somewhere, sorry i cant think of where right now, they were all off. Y&R was on at 1, ATWT at 2 and B&B at 3 with GL on at like 10am.

i pretty much think of soaps as 11a-3p shows. I dont think 11 is too early at all.

cheesy ass talk shows and game shows have fans too, just as cheesy soap operas do. Hell, i would rather watch most talk shows & any game show over GH right now. Tho between dr phil and GH thats like a rock & a hardplace. lol.

Days has aired in primetime. Here are the dates & ratings. they all aired after soap opera awards, i think.

Friday, January 10, 1992 8:00-9:00PM

Days of Our Lives: "One Stormy Night" (NBC) 10.5

Friday, February 26, 1993 8:00-9:00PM

Days of Our Lives: "Night Sins" (NBC) 7.9

Friday, February 4, 1994 8:00-9:00PM

Days of Our Lives: "Winter Heat" (NBC) 10.2

Keep in mind soap ratings were far higher then as theya re now as were primetime ratings.

Also, i cant see DAYS on at 10pm. 7pm? Maybe. 10? No.

As for ATWT on the cw, you have to factor in a few things besides the ratings. first and formost, the cw is in far less markets than cbs is. second, almost always when a tv show jumps network a huge chunk of the audience doesnt go with it. and you have to look at what the cw airs right now in the daytime, ayndication shows. i dont know the ratings for all of them, but something tells me the network pays very little for them and they perform well enough.

Days at 12 is so odd to me.

I agree with what you posted.

This is how it is in Baton Rouge, except for Y&R airing in the afternoon at 4pm. The AMC is day-behind. Well, I think DAYS might come on at noon, but for some reason, we've never gotten the BR NBC station, just the CBS and ABC.

In New Orleans, it's Y&R at 11am, AMC at 12pm, B&B at 12:30, OLTL/DAYS/ATWT at 1pm, and GH at 2pm.

The only time the New Orleans NBC station has aired DAYS at its appropriate time is when NBC has some sort of live sporting event at 1pm, and so instead of pre-empting DAYS, they air it an hour earlier.

If it's this confusing with just the 4 time zones across the lower 48 states and D.C., imagine what it must be like for soap fans in Alaska and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories where the time zones vary a lot more than Eastern, Central, Moutain, and Pacific. laugh.gif

      Your daily (or nightly) thought

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.

      We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex. Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already? I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley? I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander. And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size? Chelsea has millions of followers?

      As The World Turns Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      1976 Pt 2 A young woman named Tina calls Norman’s hospital room, claiming she’s in town and is broke and upset about his condition. He firmly tells her to stay away, but she sneaks into his room later, upsetting him. He tells her she’s ruining his plan, but she can’t see why— after all, he’s told her he loves her, and they will soon be married. Norman becomes irate and starts yelling, claiming all his problems are because of Sandy. Meanwhile, Bob, who had left the floor station for Norman’s room, discovered he’d forgotten his stethoscope and returned to his office for it. Nurses passing Norman’s room heard loud shouting from within but assumed everything was under control, as Dr. Hughes was in there. When Bob finally returns, he finds Norman alone. Tina has slipped out, and Norman has had another heart attack. All emergency methods fail, and Norman dies. Bob takes it hard; he was his doctor and couldn’t save him. John Dixon, long resentful and bitter at Bob’s successes in his career, subtly manages to force a hearing into Norman’s death. The floor nurses report that Bob went to Norman’s room and an argument followed; then Bob called for help when Norman went into heart failure. Bob’s report is contradictory that he went for his stethoscope and found Garrison already stricken. Bob, assuming that this is only a routine death, has already left on a short vacation, untroubled and unsuspecting, so his written report must stand. He returns to find that the situation has escalated into a full-fledged investigation. Learning that the argument is the bone. of contention, Sandy comes forward and claims that she was in Norman’s room, arguing with him. Bob refuses to let her perjure herself, which John manages to use as credence in Norman’s contention that Bob and Sandy were having an affair. ‘Bob is angry when, after a week, the hospital board hands him an official reprimand; thinking this is virtually an accusation of guilt, Bob refuses to accept it. His first reaction is his resignation, but upon thinking it through, he decides he’s going to fight this. He withdraws his hasty resignation and begins to work with Tom to reconstruct the events of the day Norman died. Nurse Connolly finally admits that someone could have entered Norman’s room unseen, but Floor Nurse Holland is firmly convinced no one did. Carol Stallings is upset to learn that the business tactics of her husband, Jay, while legal, are not as ethical and moral as she would have hoped. Chris Hughes has asked Tom to take over Jay’s legal affairs for the firm. Tom decides the opportunity is too good to refuse, even though he personally doesn’t like Jay - and knows Jay resents him, as he and Carol were at. one time married. Tom soon finds that some of Jay’s proposed new dealings are somewhat illegal, in the gray area, and tells him he advises against them. It is a  lawyer’s function to protect clients from making this kind of mistake, he explains. Kim Dixon has recovered physically from the injuries she sustained when she was hit on the head during a tornado, but her amnesia continues. She has been told that she was about to divorce John and marry Dan, but cannot seem to feel any emotions toward Dan now. In fact, she has noticed that most of the people around her seem to dislike John, and she is therefore feeling sympathetic toward him. John manages to usé Kim’s uncertainty to widen the gap between her and Dan, and finally convinces Kim to let him move back home. Dan is very badly hurt upon learning of this. Kim explains to Bob that she feels uncomfortable with Dan—she senses that he expects more of her than she can deal with now—while John has been thoughtful and understanding of her. Susan Stewart, Dan’s ex-wife, has stopped drinking, and tries to help Dan through this painful time by taking the holiday season responsibilities for Emily and Betsy upon herself to relieve Dan of the burden. (Emily is Dan and Susan’s daughter; Betsy believes she is Dan’s orphaned niece but is in reality his daughter by the late Elizabeth Stewart.) Dan’s misery at Kim’s apparent rejection has finally  convinced him to accept a medical-mission assignment in Bolivia. Kim, meanwhile, has been having momentary flashes of memory, but none are long enough so that she can understand what she’s remembering. On the night Dan is leaving for Bolivia, however, she has a coherent recollection and remembers the letter she wrote to Dan saying she wanted to be with him for the rest of their lives. Learning that he is leaving immediately, Kim leaves three messages on his answering machine. But Susan, who still wants Dan back, overhears Kim on the phone and goes to Dan’s office, where she removes the tape. Susan later tells Kim that Dan got the messages but they weren’t important enough to handle before leaving for South America. Susan then suggests to Kim that she gracefully end it by writing to Dan saying it’s all over, and to press Kim further shé suggests that Kim has been ungrateful to John for the constant care and concern he’s shows her during the past weeks. I believe the Dan going to Bolivia story was when John Reilly left. When Dan returned, it was again John Colenback. So the Kim/Dan story had been initiated with Reilly/Hays.

      Ok, so the memorial felt a bit... underwhelming. I couldn’t help but wonder - where’s Julie? Would’ve made sense for her to be sitting next to Marlena. And Maggie, who’s been close to John and Marlena for decades? Sami? Hope? Carrie? What about Tony and Anna? Jack and Jen? And Will? And Kristen - even just a short, quiet scene of Eileen Davidson by his grave would’ve added so much depth. That said, Paul’s eulogy really stood out. The line “Can’t wait to play basketball with you again” was genuinely moving.

      I’m up to October 2, 1996. Ugh, the opening was updated to add Zachary and Dahlia, and remove Vanessa.  I guess this means Maeve left the show and everyone will just assume Vanessa died in her car wreck, so sad.  Matt found the MRI test results from the mail, just before Vanessa’s memorial, but Nola convinced him that no test results matter at this point. They also gave Nola the short Vanessa haircut now, so it’s throwing me off haha. Btw, how is Quint not around for any of this? He just came back full-time, but then couldn’t be available for his sister’s memorial? Billy is back!  He just showed up at the hospital and gave Josh a big hug. So did Reva, and Reva finally just mentioned that she calls Dylan every week (ha!).  He has 24 hours out of jail for deaths in the family, so I guess he isn’t staying right now beyond the memorial. He’s pushing Reva/Josh as a couple to Reva. I feel so bad for Matt during this whole thing. Watching him break down at the beach is heartbreaking. Rick just told Phillip about his one-night stand with Blake, and now Amanda just told Roger the truth in front of all of them about Rick being one of the fathers. Blake denies it, Roger doesn’t believe it, but Amanda is so bad and I kind of love it haha. Zachary is now obsessed with Michelle and saved her from drowning. He called her Mary until he corrected her and said she’s Michelle. Was there a Mary in the Bauer family? It seems like he recognizes her from a long time ago. It seems like Michelle is done with J for good, as she’s now developing a crush on Zachary. It looks like they’re going with a J/Dahlia/Marcus triangle, away from Michelle. So Griffin was behind his assassination attempt?  Weird and I don’t care. Roger got electric shock treatments now and is acting differently, like a changed man who is overly nice, but of course it’s an act. I sure hope he ultimately gets the upper hand and we can get him out of this hospital. Blake and Hart seemed to be upset that Dinah allowed the treatments to happen, but those two are too little, too late for me. Annie is now missing work because of the pill addiction; things are getting worse. Annie just went off on Abby at work, so you can tell she’s getting angrier. What I do like about this story is how quickly others began to question her pill taking, and it’s not some secret that lasts for months. Josh just caught Reva skinny dipping at the creek and Annie found her diner apron and realized they were together. I really think Kim Zimmer puts a lot of herself into the Reva character haha. I’m in the middle of reading her book and Kim and her friends are into skinny dipping in real life! Overall, a boring month but I’m looking forward to another holiday season in Springfield for something new and fun (I love the holidays). I think I’m now going into McTavish and Laibson’s last month as HW and EP. I’ve got to say, post-Marion/Brent, McTavish’s big umbrella storylines of 1996 (Lonatrat and A. Spauling/5th Street) were huge busts. Lonatrat made everyone unlikeable and A. Spaulding/5th Street was so slow and uninteresting. Otherwise, my thoughts on the smaller B storylines: Grant family/Griffin was so gross and unnecessary; Dahlia/Marcus is boring; Holly/Fletch/Meg is nonexistent; Zachary and his meddling, I’m on the fence; Abby/Rick pairing I like; Blake/Ross/Rick and the twins I like; Annie and her pill addiction I like, but the slow Reva/Josh movement is boring and I lump Reva’s return into the 5th Street storyline because she’s mostly just with Buzz and Alan.
