Not yet. 1955-1977 should be coming at some point, but right now it is 1978-1992.

COMPLETE LIST OF "DAYS" FULL & PARTIAL PREEMPTIONS: 1979-1988:

Thanks to the Nielsen books, we now have confirmation of not just the full preemptions of "Days", but also all of the partial preemptions and any episodes rated as "breakouts" or specials. Note: Partial preemption data is unavailable for 3 weeks (8/24/81, 10/19/87, 12/14/87). Here is the complete list: Per my previous preemption research, the 23-minute episode that aired on 10/19/81 and the 9-minute episode aired on 8/21/84  were considered national preemptions and re-aired the following day. For some unknown reason, the 12-minute episode aired on 8/20/82 was not considered a national preemption.

 

Other items of note: "Days" had two special time slot airings: It aired from 2-3PM on 1/1/79 and was split in half and aired from 1-130 & 230-3PM on 12/8/87.

Amazing @JAS0N47 been wishing there was a resource like this for years! Hopefully eventually we have preemptions for all the shows through 1996 when Soap Central's recaps start up. It's very hit or miss before that.

Regardless of the books, which provide additional details like the demos, I do now have all of the main data for the remainder of 1992-1999, so no worries, all preemption data will eventually be available. You will have a detailed list of all full preemptions, partial preemptions, breakouts, etc... for all soaps through at least 1999.

VCR SHARES...DECEMBER 1988:

As promised last night, here are the VCR recording shares for the week of 12/12/88. As some of you had guessed, Days was by far the # 1 leader. I had never given that much thought, thinking most shows had lots of fans taping them back to the early 1980's, but I guess I was spoiled since I only watch Days, which had a 1.0 VCR share, almost double every other soap!  Thanks to all the early Days fans for both recording, and some keeping those recordings!

DAYS....   1.0 

AMC....   .7

OLTL...... .6

GH......   .6

AW.....   .5

YR.......  .4

That way the kids could watch after school instead of just on school breaks.

All those middle schoolers and high schoolers that came on board during the Steve/Kayla years would be mid-40s to early 50s now, and I'm sure a good number of them are still watching.
