The Rating (2.5, 2.4) is just a percentage of the people with TV's on at that time that are watching, so it's fair to say a soap can go up 250,000-300,000 viewers and won't give them +.2 if there's more TV's on and more of those people are watchuing something else. If there's less people watching TV that day/week overall and they go down 120,000 on that same hand it won't really necessarily reflect on the ratings with the same number or -.1 if the less people watching are sticking with AMC over something else on. Confusing, eh? lol, sorry, if I made it more so. I'm not even sure I explained it right.

No, I see what you are saying. If the number of people watching TV as a whole changes from one week to the next, then the percentage for a certain show can stay the same even if less or more people are watching that particular program.

Yeah, you're a good editor !

Nice seeing OLTL rise in ratings in some of the demo's. Thats always a bonus!!

Ratings were certainly affected by Hurricane Rita coverage last Wed-Fri.

Maybe Passanante will take a hint that this babyswitch can't go on for too long.

The rest are okay, glad to see Y&R hasn't fallen out of the 4's yet.

Some depressing numbers. I'm not a viewer but it's a shame that ATWT tumbled so far. Too bad GL haven't overtaken AMC yet in HH (and yet they have in Total Viewers? ).

I'm happy for you Days fans!

Good numbers for DAYS, a little pissed they didn't rise in HH (considering they gained way more viewers than OLTL, yet OLTL took a .1 rise).

Overall NBC and DAYS has to be happy with these improvements:

#3 overall in total viewers (highest totals in weeks)

#3 in households

#2 in 18-49 (highest rating in months)

#1 in 18-34 (highest rating in months)

Ouch to GL! That really sucks and WOW PSNS is at enemic levels.
