Ratings for the week May 4-8, 2020

[Faulkner]

LOL at DAYS leading in 18-49, almost by default. I’m very interested in what these ratings look like 4-8 weeks from now.

[Soapsuds]

A YR episode from 1981 tied a brand new episode of GH.....lol

 

YR number 1 in 18-34 demo...lol and they were up in that demo from last week.

 

and YR went up all week in HH with classic episodes.

Young people evidently like the classics

These ratings sure show how shitty GH and Days really are when they can't beat YR with new episodes.

[Chris B]

Y&R’s ratings for a 1981 episode with an almost entirely different cast is insane! If they don’t see the value in putting this on CBS All Access they are truly insane!

[lucaslesann23]

I wish we could see the streaming numbers for regular episodes. But I really want to see the cbs all access numbers for these classics

RATINGS: ABC’s ‘Pandemic’ Cratering While CBS Game Shows Lose Some Momentum

[Soapsuds]

I was wondering about this. Not surprised about ABC coverage of the pandemic. My whole extended family is stick of hearing about it and have decided to stop watching any coverage of it.

 

Game shows going down is a bit surprising but people are ready to get out and are tired of watching

Just checked my records and came up with this gem:

 

"DAYS" LEADS WOMEN 18-49 NIELSEN RATING DEMO FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1/17/05...'

 

"Days of Our Lives" was in sole possession of first place in last week's Women 18-49 Nielsen ratings demo, the first time it has done so since the week of January 17, 2005. The 0.39 rating for "Days" just beat out second place "GH" at 0.38.

 

And that's with LMAD and TPIR still airing new episodes. Price only has 14 more new episodes before it runs out and goes to all repeats.

[Fevuh]

Repeats on CBS I’m convinced will be better than the other shows.  Every show has to tank for Days to look decent.  And just wait until GH is showing reruns.  And the article about CBS game shows?  TPIR sank to just over 5 Million viewers.  That would mean Days and the other shows better start investing in masks and ventilators.  

[Vizion]

Yikes at B&B's numbers though....

[GLATWT88]

Honestly, I don't think they're bad at all considering it's repeats. The problem is can they maintain these numbers until they actually return. Why are they only counting two days? I would like to see if older repeats are performing better than these newer ones.

Thanks for the ratings. It's interesting to get another perspective of the numbers for soaps. Also, not surprising that game shows don't see major jumps from non-live viewing.

 

When Nielsen calculates the Live +7 ratings, those numbers only include the live ratings and any viewing of the episode on DVR within 7 days. It doesn't include any viewing that occurs online, on demand thru cable services or on streaming platforms. Is that correct?
