Members JAS0N47 Posted Thursday at 05:38 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 05:38 PM Yes. 8/1/95. FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1993 & MAY 1993: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted Thursday at 05:43 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 05:43 PM And it looks kinda sudden, too! You see DAYS' ratings improving one week, then kind of retreating a bit the second week, then another little bump in the third, and then - BAM! - it's number-two! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted Thursday at 05:44 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 05:44 PM ... and the finale of the Possession, along with the Carrie/Austin botched wedding by Sami, Peter Reckell's return, etc. puts DAYS nicely at No. 2 for the whole four-week stretch. It's because this is exactly when I started watching DAYS and we were a Nielsen family. J/K 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted Friday at 12:51 AM Members Share Posted Friday at 12:51 AM I think Days remains 2nd for the better part of the next two years. As we all know, the closest Days got to beating Y&R was June 23-27, 1997 and all of Reilly big storylines culminated in Summer 1997. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted Friday at 05:08 PM Members Share Posted Friday at 05:08 PM (edited) Yes, it's mainly DAYS and B&B (with 1 or 2 weeks of AMC inching up there) battling it for No. 2 from August '95 through February '96 when DAYS begins its streak that doesn't end until December '97. I remember the most random things, lol. Edited Friday at 05:10 PM by Gray Bunny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted 16 hours ago Members Share Posted 16 hours ago A friend has just put me on to a new resource, the Archive of the magazine BROADCASTING & CABLE. Each issue has Nielsen ratings so in that way it could supplement this information. Of course, most of each issue is articles. It begins with 1931 and goes through 2023. I'm using PDF-XChange to search for keywords, searching many issues at one time. I'm sure other PDF apps could do the same. It begins with only radio, of course, but soon includes all of TV. https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/ Offered just as FYI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted 11 hours ago Members Share Posted 11 hours ago I've known of that resource for many years, but I think they mainly started posting the primetime Nielsen rankings at some point in the 1980's, around the same time USA Today started its weekly charts. Not much focus on daytime that I know of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted 10 hours ago Members Share Posted 10 hours ago Okay, sure, may not be of much use here then. I did see a Friday night Soap Opera Awards. And the friend has found the launch of OLTL, although the article focuses on the working title "Heaven and Hell".
