Members te. Posted February 21 Members Share Posted February 21 Just like I've pointed out that it was a mistake to place younger-skewing soaps like The City and Sunset Beach in the noon, moving Love of Life was also dumb. It very much gives off the vibe of your "grandmother's" soap and was probably a good fit for the earlier time slot when those viewers are at home. Expecting those kids, students and younger people that might come home in the afternoon to suddenly start watching Love of Life was idiotic, but then again... ... it was probably this. They could get rid of a somewhat middling performer by making it tank in the late afternoon by appearing to give it a shot as it was just a win-win situation for them here; either it bombs and they're rid of it, or it performs unexpectedly well and fixes a late afternoon slot for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JAS0N47 Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM January 1977-March 1977 are not in at the moment, so hopefully those will be coming later this year. So, we now have weekly ratings for January 1976-December 1976 and April 1977-Present. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted Sunday at 11:27 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 11:27 PM @JAS0N47 Thank you for the additional information re 1977. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted Sunday at 11:27 PM Author Members Share Posted Sunday at 11:27 PM Surprised to see Ryan's Hope at the bottom. I thought it was doing much better. I think the demos for W 18-34 were much higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted Sunday at 11:30 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 11:30 PM @Paul Raven January 1976, Ryan's Hope was only 6 months into its run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted Sunday at 11:33 PM Author Members Share Posted Sunday at 11:33 PM @kalbir Yes but I thought it was stronger from the get go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted Sunday at 11:35 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 11:35 PM TD, EON, GH, LOL, OLTL, RH and SOM appear to be firmly in the middle or bottom of the pack, while the rest of the shows are in a near-constant state of flux. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted Monday at 02:23 AM Members Share Posted Monday at 02:23 AM OMG thank you so much again! @JAS0N47! Please register in order to view this content been looking forward to this!

Members JAS0N47 Posted Monday at 06:12 AM Members Share Posted Monday at 06:12 AM I can never say for certain until the info arrives, but that is the plan. I also recently got 1994-1995, so those charts will be going up at some point once I get them all done. You already have the OJ Simpson preemption data, but this will be the first time it appears in chart form like all of 1976-1993. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
