Ratings From the 90's

[Gray Bunny]

Nice 3rd place position for DAYS, prior to Maison Blanche. Wonder what the story was?

That week was the conclusion of Billie’s trial, where it came out that Stefano was the one who killed Curtis.

I think April 22, 1994 pre-emptions were coverage of Richard Nixon death.

[JAS0N47]

 

The ABC Special Report is listed as starting at 3:38PM Eastern, so that's why AMC got a breakout at 1:38PM. So we can deduce from that that AMC aired in Eastern and Central, but got the special report in Mountain & Pacific. One of the NBC Special Reports is listed as HR Clinton. So looking up 4/22/94 and Hilary Clinton on Google, that shows CSPAN listing a Whitewater investigation at 3:45PM Eastern, so that was the special report reason. Richard Nixon died at 9:08PM Eastern that evening.

Y&R May 20 Nina and Ryan get married.

As the World Turns dropping. This must be when Douglas Marland storylines are done.

In real life, May 19 Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis passed away.

I was shocked to see ATWT still doing moderately well after almost a year from Marland's passing. But yeah I guess at this point the audience Doug brought in finally started tuning out once his stories ended.
