Daytime Broadcast Ratings: Week of October 18-22, 2021

[Errol]

Every daytime broadcast series was down year to year in both Women 25-54 and Women 18-49 rating with "Let's Make a Deal" losing the least and "The View" losing the most. In Total Viewers, only "The Bold and the Beautiful" saw year to year and week to week increases.

I like GMA3 for what it is (of course I'd rather have soaps) but it's definitely lost a lot of steam since 2020. It felt like it had some real legs. It hit the mark during the pandemic when everyone was home but it really could simply be an ABC News Live show on it's streaming platform ... or find a way to expand GMA to 3 hours but then they'd have to give up that slot I assume ... anywho sorry just me rambling about a topic nobody probably cares about lol.

 

I can see viewer fatigue with The View. Like GMA3, it 'hit the mark' during the pandemic when everyone was home but I think folks are having 'news fatigue' if you will. We're just hammered by 'hot topics' and 'breaking news' and 'disaster headlines' constantly anymore. I think people want more an escape. 

 

The Talk had some interest in Morales. Not surprised. The show still feels dead to me but they have nothing to replace it with so it seems to be a "why not keep trying". 

 

I also simply assume people just, clearly, aren't stuck at home like last year.
