Since they are in a different format, I just attempted AMC preemptions for 1994-1995. For these years, we will not have the exact times of special reports (when they air inside an episode, say from 120-126PM). We also only have the percentage of affiliates airing the episode (not the #). The preemption dates can be figured out quickly enough as I just did with AMC, but the reasons (whenever I research this more fully) will only be available for rated shows (no longer have the titles on un-rated special reports, but of course they usually are just titled ABC Special Report, so you can figure that to be the case usually). I didn't check on preemption reasons, so for now the full preemption dates are the ones that are fully blank. Just wanted to try out one soap to see how it went. So here you go, the AMC 1994-1995 preemptions, covering the two years of the OJ case:
 
All My Children
1/17/94
4/22/94 1-138 (38 minutes); 138-2PM PBO (75 percent affs)
4/26/94 1-133 (33 minutes); 133-2PM PBO (74 percent affs)
5/23/94 1-149 (49 minutes)
6/17/94 (52 minutes) (8 minute preemption during episode)
6/20/94 1-130 & 145-2 (45 minutes); 130-145 PBO (74 percent affs)
6/28/94 (41 minutes) (19 minute preemption during episode)
6/30/94
7/1/94
7/5/94
7/6/94
7/7/94
7/8/94
7/22/94
8/19/94 1-130 (30 minutes)
9/16/94 (50 minutes) (10 minute preemption during episode)

1978 WEEKLY NIELSEN CHARTS NOW POSTED, PLUS A CHECKLIST OF NIELSEN RATINGS DATA STILL MISSING SINCE 12/26/77...
 
The 1978 weekly ratings data is now available here: http://www.jason47.com/days/ratings1978.html
 
In addition, here is a checklist of the 10 weeks of Nielsen ratings data still missing since the week of 12/26/77:
 
Two Full Regular Weeks (2): 4/10/78, 4/17/78. These two weeks are missing the final ratings/shares/affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books. ATWT had one preemption during the two missing weeks.
 
Two Partial Regular Weeks (2): 10/19/87, 12/14/87. These two weeks have ratings data, unconfirmed but likely to be accurate, from a SON post in 2019. These weeks are missing the shares/affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books.
 
Fast Weekly Weeks (6): 3/20/78, 4/24/78, 6/26/78, 8/28/78, 12/25/78, 8/24/81. These six weeks are all missing the preliminary ratings and full/partial preemptions data.
 
All weekly Nielsen ratings charts from 1978-Present are now posted here, except for 1988 and 1989, which will be posted in the next few months: http://www.jason47.com/days/nielsensweekly.html

I have just posted the Another World 1994-1995 preemptions in the 1990's ratings thread, so I will be adding the rest of the soaps in that thread when time permits. Of course, as you know, alphabetically next is one of your soaps, BB, so check there for that data soon! (Oops, I just saw ATWT is next, but BB is coming soon after).

March 3, 1988 Y&R Nina Arvesen debut.

March 15, 1988 Y&R Chance's birth.

Writer's strike began March 7, 1988. We'll start seeing the impact of the strike soon.

B&B one year and clearance hasn't really moved (94% to 93%).

Feb. 29-March 4, 1988, on GH -- The fallout from Robert and Duke returning Anna to safety. Will Anna survive? Does Anna want Robert, as Duke comes to believe? Will Duke be able to break free from the mob? Also, is Frisco alive?
