Ratings for the week January 27-31, 2014

I'm sure the bad weather and the youtube crackdowns have aided soaps numbers across the board, but GH been consistently gaining viewers since LAST AUGUST. The numbers prove it's a solid 6 month UPWARD trend:

Since August 2nd, GH has gained 705,000 viewers. That's impressive and I say this as someone enjoying very little on GH these days.

How do you think having The Talk and The Chew have helped? I know in my area The Talk comes on after the soaps. And even though they have guest stars from Y&R on their sometimes they usually only get like 5 minutes of airtime.

I think that they have promoted soaps stories and had actors on and that's nice. I think that the soap promos during non soaps also helps. It's not as if only soap fans are watching these shows and they may help bring old viewers back in.

I'm not saying soaps need to worship these shows and thank them endlessly by any means. But I do think having a broad daytime lineup of more than soaps is helpful.
