DAYTIME RATINGS FANS, THE ANNOUNCEMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

I can now confirm that the weekly daytime Nielsens (and corresponding preemption data) for EVERY WEEK will be available for the time frame of July 1979-September 1987 (except for one pesky week in August 1981). 

Updates on the remaining weeks needed (October 1987-August 1989) will be posted when available.

Please be patient though. This is a ton of data to go through and type up the weekly lists, but know that they will be coming!

That is wonderful news @JAS0N47. Thanks again for all your hard work in bringing this part of daytime history to the board.

You're the best, Jason. When you get to June, 1984, it will be great to finally put to rest the misbelief that Guiding Light hit #1. Yes, it beat GH for 3 weeks, but Y&R was #1 and AMC was #2 during those weeks.

I just skimmed through all the June 1984 weeks, and yes, you are correct. GL was never # 1 in June 1984.

That’s incredible news!!! :D 

For years I had always wished Y&R, B&B, and ATWT would get websites like the same love & treatment that Jason’s Days page, Another World Home Page, and Guiding Light Timeline Page page would get. Thankfully we have this forum still 😊

Hopefully in the next coming months we will get that sort of deal where Y&R/B&B especially can get those type of Jason Pages! :D

Just curious, do you hate the guiding light?  That was my favorite of all time, you keep dissing it repeatedly.  Why not knock some other show?  You keep rubbing it in that GL never was number one, over and over again to knock it to us that GL was NEVER popular and its not cool.

 

Plus Y&R was always the boring soap, had such a great time slot tho, my dad would watch it at dinner time.  Why abc never moved amc there in the 80s to plug up 12:30, i'll never know.

I also doubt ATWT attained "20 Million viewers" for that wedding episode.

The numbers just don't add up.

What is the date of the wedding you are referring to? I don't have daily episode data, but can get you the weekly average of viewers.

I'm curious for Tom and Margo marriage that's why I added it.

Tom Hughes Marries Margo Montgomery. (June 1, 1983)
Steve Andropolous Marries Betsy Stewart. (May 31, 1984)

Pretty similar for both weeks:
 
Tom Hughes Marries Margo Montgomery. (June 1, 1983)
Week of 5/30/83-6/3/83: ATWT 7.8/25; 6,500,000
 
Steve Andropolous Marries Betsy Stewart. (May 31, 1984)
Week of 5/28/84-6/1/84; ATWT 7.8/26; 6,540,000
