Ouch, those 18 to 49 women demos are uugly. Y&R is a nightmare.

B&B missed a 0.9 by 1000 female 18-49 viewers

363,000-428,000-----------> .06

429,000-488,000-----------> .07

489,000-561,000-----------> .08

562,000-627,000-----------> .09

628,000-693,000-----------> 1.0

694,000-758,000-----------> 1.1

759,000-825,000-----------> 1.2

YIKES at DAYS! Its only 1 week guys.

Not a bad week for OLTL but not great. Still stuck at a .9 in W18-49.

At this point gains are gains right especially for a genre which is dying.

Days ouch!! Maybe they should justcancel Days and AMC.

Alarming drop for DAYS indeed, but it doesn't warrant a cancellation. Let's see if this drop off continues. GH is still holding strong

Whoa, B&B number 3 in women 18-49 & 18-34 and number two in women 12-17? When the heck did that happen? B&B used to skew so old.

I wouldn't read too much into these numbers for B&B. They cover only three days not an entire week. B&B usually hits its lowest numbers on Thursdays and Fridays. The show has been bleeding viewers in the important demos for weeks now. I don't see that suddenly turning around in one week. We'll see what next week holds when all five days are included.

What's going on with DAYS?

Awful writing

One-note actors in leading roles

One-take shooting of scenes

Terrible lighting

Cardboard looking sets

Bad background music

DAYS didn't air in NY until 3AM on Thursday night due to St. Patricks Day parade but the Thursday ratings aren't totally bad. Its Tuesday & Friday that were bad. I havent't watch DAYS in weeks. I just don't have time and OLTL & GH keep me busy.

It really is strange to see the thread title mention new low demos, and NOT seeing AMC. LOL

Why not? LOLS. NBC was going to cancel the soap in 2008. And thats a HUGE decline. Going from 3rd to LAST in the TV and letting AMC tie or even beat it?

Good for AMC and ABC. Nice to see that spike in the demos. Any gains is good for AMC but dam a 1.6 that week. Not good.

The show made a comeback and made AMC/OLTL eat it's dust, even GH at times

What's going on with DAYS?

The Rafe 2 storyline, it's offensive on so many levels, not too mention the stuidity that is EJ & Taylor

They really need to find a way to start adding online viewing into overall ratings. Just saw an article that mentioned Y&R is getting 8 million streams and Days was also in the top ten. I'm guessing Days may be picking up younger viewers this way explaining the low 18-34 numbers.

I'm starting the think the genre isn't really dying. The problem is no network has learned how to make money online.

OLTL and AMC are so damn close!

Do you mind posting a link to the article? I'm always interested in those kind of articles since I'm sure online viewing is pretty good for some of the soaps.

So basically, OLTL audience is pretty much the same , but all the young people are fleeing. So where did all the new old people come from?
