Members dragonflies Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yep here's the full article http://www.tvmediainsights.com/2012/09/positive-results-for-general-hospital-at-2-p-m-et/ VETERAN ABC DAYTIME SERIAL ON THE PLUS SIDE AT 2 PM ET In the midst of the new syndicated daytime talk show premieres was the relocation of veteran ABC serialized drama General Hospital to 2 p.m. ET. Based on the 56-metered (overnight) markets, General Hospital is averaging a 2.3 rating/8 share in households this week (through Wednesday). And that, comparably, is up by 15 percent from the lead-in average (2.0/ 6) and 10 percent from One Life to Live in September 2011. Results among key women 25-54 (1.8/11) have increased by a hefty 80 percent from the lead-in (1.0/ 7) and 20 percent from One Life to Live in September 2011. The prognosis: So far so very good for General Hospital at 2 p.m. ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yet still down .2 from Soap Opera Resurrection Day. But obviously three good days completely make up for decades of hemorrhaging numbers. After all look at that other soap. You know, the one that gained a few tenths of a point for a quarter so the network decided to save it instead of canceling it. Remember THAT one? What was the name? Oh yeah, I think it was called, Never Happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 This. Exactly, spot on. Yes. Im happy GH is doing well - but they are doing it with more promotion in a week than they got in years, it seems. Can they keep it up when the promotion stops? Then again ABC seems committed to making The Chew/GH/Katie happen so maybe the promotion wont stop, thatd be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 If ABC were smart they'd continue the promotion. At this point GH can't be that expensive (certainly next to Katie which costs TWICE as much as a soap, yearly) and the ratings are good. Plus they own it and have THREE daytime talk shows to promote it on. Not to mention Dancing with the Stars, Jimmy Kimmel and even Nightline. That is free easy promo. And if GH crashes they need to worry about crossover viewers with their other daytime shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 GH got a 2.2 on Thursday and Katie got a 1.7. So GH has done 2.5, 2.3, 2.3, 2.2. THat's pretty consistent if they can keep it up in that range. I wonder what Katie's ratings for next week will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 I highly doubt it will last, but even if I'm not fully enjoying the show, it would be nice for a soap to continue to stay high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
