Not sure if that bodes well for the show's futures or not. If they do better online than they do in the ratings, not good at all.

Are we getting the ratings today?

[nightstar]

Y&R is going to be hoping for high ratings for that crappy adam reveal i wonder how they are going to do will they get the spike or not.

[bellcurve]

Speaking of streaming viewership, why did ABC replace their "Move" player with that [!@#$%^&*] player that doesn't even stream HD and won't stay on Full Screen to save it's life?! UGGGGGGGH!

I watch GH and AMC on Hulu now, even though those are 480p and not in their full HD capacity.

[Jonathan]

You're talking about the conference games. I don't see those having a deep impact on ratings particularly since the finals of those conference matchups were during the weekend.

[bellcurve]

But the local stations pre-empted the soaps for all the quarterfinal conference games too. The ABC soaps were MIA Thursday and Friday where I was because of the SEC Tourney.

[Soapsuds]

Thank You Bellcurve!! As Rose would say ...I thought I would have to act it out with shadow puppets.

[BlueLick]

Finally some positive news coming from soap contracts as hearing DAYS being renewed through next season is great news. This show was not supposed to last past summer 2009 and now it has gained two extra years. If ABC keeps OLTL after this year then that would make my year b/c I know all the other soaps are safe through next year. Now lets get ATWT on television past this fall.

The Kristinia storyline on General Hospital is pure gold right now, the thing that's different about GH these past few months is that their storylines are focusing on the family and more character development. AMC has been great too but this Fusion stuff has killed the show for me again.

[amazing7]

The Kristina storyline has been amazing. All the players involved has been fantastic. AMC is still hot mess. Too much Rylee. I hate what Erica Kane has been reduce to while running Fusion. Greenlee is so childish and still very much in love with Ryan, so eventually we will see 112943 Rylee redux. Frons can't help himself with his Rylee is love.

[Jonathan]

Just in that region. It wasn't preempted in other parts of the country where the SEC isn't normally shown.

[Gina90]

where are the ratings ?

[jams1234]

I'm wondering the same thing myself.........hello hello any ratings out there?

[Cyberologist]

The Fringe Report ABC puts out usually its released when they are up it may be my imagination

but it doesn't seem to come out when they are down only when they have done well eg in demos,

total # of viewers...(its not just soaps) eg "the View is on it....all of ABC daytime I think..

[dragonflies]

Where's the ratings???
