Members Cyberologist Posted September 16, 2011 Members Share Posted September 16, 2011 I don't understand demo points does each point represent a number of people watching..??? What does each point represent numberwise. e.g. if GH lost .4 from last year what does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aMLCproduction Posted September 16, 2011 Members Share Posted September 16, 2011 Good week for soaps. Simple as that. No need to break down all these numbers. What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 16, 2011 Members Share Posted September 16, 2011 What I understand is that for 18-49 for example it means that 1.1 percent of people watching TV at that time in that age group were tuned into GH Therefore I believe that means that .6% of the people watching TV at that time in that age group were tuned into GH AS a whole while the show has almost maintained its HH numbers from last year, less people in those age groups watching TV that time of day ar watching GH. You can apply the same logic to any of the shows. Someone can correct me if I am offbase but I think thats primarily the formula used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saving ATWT Posted September 17, 2011 Members Share Posted September 17, 2011 Male viewers are kingmakers. I remember ATWT only doing well when they ranked 3 or 4 in men. The guys push a soap over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saving ATWT Posted September 17, 2011 Members Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yes and no regarding GL--the soap had a smaller budget and ran at different times across the country; however, the demos were only a tad bit weaker than ATWT. In 1999-2000, GL consistantly beat ATWT in demos even though it ran at like 9am in many markets. I agree the ATWT could have done better outdoors than GL. Goutman was skilled at outdoor work, but refused to do it all out. I have little doubt that he had to fight PGP for a lot during the final years.
