Members Soapsuds Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 Another holiday so Toups probably won't have them till next Monday. No one watches soaps during Christmas break anymore...well like they use to. The huge blizzard better help out the soaps if not they have no hope. I actually think they dont anymore. AMC dreadful 0.8 in the 18-49 looks awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 I knew it. I figured we'd see a big snow bump. I wonder how many of those additional viewers were trapped in airport bars. The ratings for this week should look positively 1990s-esque. Completely deserved, IMO.

Members Angela Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 I think it's iffy if the blizzard will help the ratings. There were complete pre-emptions for the 12:30/1 pm soaps in the Northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 The only soaps that aired in NY today were OLTL & GH. I was talking to people on other boards though who lived in Northeast and their soaps were on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 <-- Queens resident. There's going to be a lot of A.M. soaps tonite on the networks. I would think NJ & Conn. may have had similar pre-emptions. Ah, so maybe it was just some of NYC - biggest market but just one market - and some of upstate.

Members MontyB Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 Very iffy. Even though OLTL was on here at 2 in NYC, I was home today and wasn't watching. I watched at 3 after I DVR'ed it. There was no snow here last week at all, so I highly doubt the weather had anything to do with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 The week of the 13th was the first bitterly cold week (below freezing temps) of the season and it stretched down all the way to Florida on the East Coast. I don't know if I ever see huge storms as a helping factor to ratings because when there is a huge storm it usually comes with electricity problems and massive pre-emptions from local stations. If pre-emptions could be avoided it would be big numbers. While NY is a loss for this Monday, if there were very little to no pre-emptions in the other blizzard-hit NE states that could very well make up for that.

Members marceline Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 Frons would be so proud of you! YOU may not have experienced bad weather last week but the Great Lakes did. Cleveland, Chicago, Baltimore/Washington, Michigan, Wisconsin were all well and goodly fucked. Flights canceled, people stuck. It's pretty obvious the numbers bounced for a reason and nobody with half a brain thinks that reason was "quality." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 I didn't say anything about quality and I don't what Brian Frons has to do with anything. I'm just not in the business of trying to justify why the rating may have jumped. As Angela pointed out bad weather usually brings lots of pre-emptions. The ratings went up last week, they may go down this week. It's whatever. ...but I digress. If you truly believe that the weather cause those ratings to jump up, then that's gotta be it.

Members DRW50 Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 So they still play soaps on TVs in some public places? When I go to the doctor it's the "health channel", and when I go anywhere else it's stuff like CNN and Fox News yelling at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 In the hospital where I work it's always some bloody news channel. Family Guy was on the other day and Stewie said some crass thing and some people were offended, so back to the news channel the TV went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 Indeed they do. The last time I was subjected to a full episode of OLTL, it was in an airport bar. Three appletinis did nothing to make it tolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TeamEric Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 Last February the soaps benefited from big winter storms hitting major markets as ratings were way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
