Ratings from the 70's

[JoeCool]

All My Children going strong despite time change to 12:30PM that will change in the fall. Ryan's Hope is very weak in its debut at 1pm and had no other network competition in its time slot.

AMC falling from #1 to #6. Wonder what was behind that?

Meanwhile OLTL looking shakey at the bottom of the pack.

The competition was too strong. The second half of AW and Tattletales on CBS. Up until July OLTL was up against Match Game and I suspect Tattletales wasn't as strong, thus giving OLTL some room to improve.

[JoeCool]

For AMC, the summer was over and the time slot change was beginning to erode its ratings. Ryan's Hope tanked at 1pm now -- in last place. OLTL was struggling.

The Price is Right going strong. No wonder CBS expanded it to 1 hour.

@JAS0N47 Do you have game show ratings for September 8-12, 1975 (The Price is Right 1 hour trial week) and November 3-7, 1975 (The Price is Right expands to 1 hour)? Thanks in advance

Great, thanks again.

The Price is Right 1 hour trial week was mid-range I'd say. CBS scheduled the 1 hour trial week 10:30-11:30 am ET, head-to-head with Wheel of Fortune and High Rollers.

[JAS0N47]

And with Hollywood Squares returning in early 2025, 4 of the top 5 game shows from 2/3/75 will be currently airing 50 years later (Hollywood Squares, Price Is Right, Let's Make a Deal and Pyramid) with only Match Game not in production this season.

I love seeing ratings - ppl were watching their soaps 

[Manny]

I just got caught up. Thanks Jason!!

Wow, I am shocked at how low OLTL was for a while. They were last several weeks in a row. 

And RH is doing terribly in the beginning. Shocking that they even managed to survive this bad start. 

[Gray Bunny]

EDGE and LOL go back and forth being the lowest rated CBS soap, with Edge only having a couple months left before switching to ABC.
