I hope last week was a good ratings week for soaps.

[DRW50]

Are they coming out tomorrow, because of the holiday?

AMC 1.7

The holiday should have boosted rating a small bit...I hope!

[fanOLTL]

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to these ratings, but somehow, I make predications nonetheless.

1.YR 3.4/1.5

2.BB 2.2/1.0

3.GH 1.8/1.1

3.DAYS 1.8/1.0

3.OLTL 1.8/1.0

6.AMC 1.7/0.8

OLTL did everything right this last week, with the events leading up to Todd & Tea's party and the revelation of Echo as Rex's mother. If that didn't boost their ratings, I'm not sure anything will.

The ABC soaps cant even have nice gains for sweeps even though none of them were prepared IMO. AMC only had 536,000 viewers in the key demo. Thats pretty bad. The year to year declines are going to be brutal.

Everyone here says Y&R sucks but its the only soap to have a decent gain so far for sweeps.

[Ann_SS]

OLTL's demos did not increase by much as far as I can tell so The Talk's demos must have collapsed for OLTL to beat it by so much.

[jpoliver78]

Yes, ABC...by all means, brag about beating a cheap-to-produce newly premiered daytime talk show that is, quite frankly, a carbon copy of "The View" except with a ridiculous "mommy" angle thrown in.

Even with that "largest margin of victory" to date, I would wager that CBS is making more money with "The Talk" than ABC is with OLTL, and in today's broadcasting environment, that is all that matters.

[OLTL_fan]

Im sure CBS is ecstatic its getting beaten by a 42 year old show.

[jpoliver78]

Did you even read my post or are you too busy being an "OLTL fan", which can use all the fans it can get now.

CBS probably could not care less whether or not OLTL is beating it. CBS is making more money with "The Talk" than ABC is with OLTL. No numerous sets, no couple hundred contract players (okay, OLTL doesn't have quite that many, but it feels like it, and the cast is only getting bigger), dozens of writers, producers, directors, behind the scenes people...all of which are not needed (or at least not in the same quantity) as OLTL.

So, if the only thing ABC can find to brag about is beating "The Talk" - which was never going to be a formidable challenger, ratings wise - than OLTL and ABC are grasping at straws.

Like I said in my earlier post, it all comes down to the bottom line, and "The Talk" is delivering more revenue into CBS's pockets than OLTL is providing for ABC.

[jpoliver78]

Also, the ABC press release headline:

ABC is Daytime’s No. 1 Network Among Women 18-49

should come with an asterisk attached.

ABC only TIED with NBC, and actually TRAILED NBC in actual women 18-49 viewer totals (721,000 vs. 707,000), so it would appear that ABC is trying to put its thumb on the scale - tipping it in their favor by proclaiming to be #1 - and cross its fingers that people are too stupid to know what the truth really is, which is that ABC is NOT Daytime's No. 1 Network Among Women 18-49.

[OLTL_fan]

They said they tied. Read the whole thing.

[OLTL_fan]

Now ur insulting me because Im a OLTL fan.

Do u even work for CBS? Otherwise u dont know anything just like I dont.

[MontyB]

I guess you're a non OLTL fan.

Honestly, does it really make a difference if "The Talk" is cheaper to produce? The fact of the matter it's still getting beaten by a 42 year show. So what's the point? Seriously.......
