Point of reference, Monday, January 20 was MLK B-Day which is a federal holiday. 

 

I'm of the belief that daytime should be programmed similar to primetime so that we can enjoy more diverse programming most days of the week. For example, air one show 3 days a week, if necessary, and on the other two days you can either program one new series or two new series (one each day) or various sets of programs in the slots. Instead of being stuck with 1-4.5 hours of network programming being dedicated to a select group of shows EVERY day all year long you can have a plethora of shows air, including series that air ONLY in the summer. Heck, even air a movie or two from time to time on non-holidays or air the freaking Daytime Emmy Awards for god sakes. More people would watch it than they did the impeachment, and it would at least get some social trends during a daytime airing vs against nighttime sports, entertainment shows, etc.

These networks and production companies should definitely get out of their current thinking and exercise some creativity in how these daytime soaps air instead they definitely seem stuck in a last century-type thinking.  It definitely crossed my mind that some shows might benefit from not only a shorter run time but also airing/streaming 2 or 3 days per week, instead of being pinned to 5 days per week.  Also, I think that the network's promotion of their soaps is beyond stale but that's a different conversation, lol.
