Members tybuki Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 @JAS0N47 can you post all of daytime for the week of October 8, 1984 when you get a chance? Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 It's so crazy seeing the entire NBC Daytime line up at the bottom, with the exception of EDGE and Capitol. DAYS is showing growth though, but not as impactful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoldRestless Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 Interesting that CBS soaps were only preempted Monday September 6 for US Open. It's long been assumed they were also preempted Friday that week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 @BoldRestless The earliest I remember the Friday US Open pre-emption was 1987. Y&R Fall 1982 Melody Thomas Scott pregnancy leave. Nikki back on screen in November and gives birth to Victoria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Unless the info is incorrect or there’s another preemption coming up between the rest of September-December we didn’t know about, that messes things up a bit Please register in order to view this content we long assumed 1982 was the first year they preempted the Friday in September for tennis as well.

Members Broderick Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 When there's a "tie" in the ratings (such as 9/24/1982) when Guiding Light and The Young & the Restless both have a 7.7, I'm inclined to think the one with the higher "share" (Y&R's 31 share versus GL's 27 share) should be listed first. If both shows are tied in households and in shares, then I think they should be alphabetized. That's just my two cents, and I'm not complaining. I'm thrilled to have the weekly data, and I appreciate the work you put into these! Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Here you go! Please register in order to view this content I'm glad you're not complaining, since this is a lot of work to do!! 52 weeks x 10 years = 520 charts! My first sort is by rating, the secondary sort is by program title, so any programs tied in ratings will be listed alphabetically, not by share. That was me. I think the error happened because the chart said ABC soaps aired TU-F and CBS soaps aired TU-TH. I probably just mistakenly read it as TU-F for CBS. So, as we know from earlier this week when I misread a 6 for an 8, that mistakes will happen, but I always do try my best. I would hope my accuracy would still be in the 98 to 99 percent range when I have completed all 520 weeks for 1980-1989! I have posted the corrected chart above. Here's the chart where I just misread TU-TH as TU-F... Edited August 18, 2023 by JAS0N47 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoldRestless Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 Thanks @JAS0N47 that's a relief! If September 10 hasn't been a preemption it would have messed up all the assumed episode numbers. Please register in order to view this content Totally understandable to make a mistake every once in a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 Thanks! Like I said in the past, any possible mistakes anyone sees, please bring them to my attention, since I want the records to be totally accurate! The rest of 1982 I see only two more CBS preemptions, on Thanksgiving and day after Thanksgiving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted August 18, 2023 Members Share Posted August 18, 2023 Great! That tracks with what I thought. If I'm reading correctly, the ratings for US Open are in the 3s and 4s, lower than even Capitol?! Then what is the point of preempting the soaps... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
