UEFA Champions League, Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo

For two consecutive Tuesdays and Wednesdays in February (February 15/16; February 22/23, 2022) CBS covered the “UEFA Champions League” games along with a pre-game show that displaced “The Talk” on a national level and preempted “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “Let’s Make a Deal,” primarily on the West coast. The latter three were either aired in overnight slots on CBS stations, aired on a sister station in select markets, or only available to viewers via the CBS App or Paramount+. “The Talk” did not air on either day. Sadly for the network, ratings were less than stellar for the sport.

To recap, the “UEFA Champions League” is an annual competition organized by the Union of European Football Associations as the remaining top 16 clubs in the European tournament each vie for the Coupe des Clubs Champions Européens (aka European Cup) trophy. Clubs competing this year include Chelsea (England), Liverpool (England), Manchester United (England), Paris Saint-Germain (France), Salzburg (Austria), LOSC Lille (France), Benfica (Portugal), and Bayern München (Germany), among others. The games were either aired exclusively on CBS (available to Paramount+ subscribers via their local CBS station) or Paramount+ only.

According to Nielsen ratings data available courtesy of the folks at ShowBuzzDaily, of the four competition games aired on CBS thus far the match between Club Atlético de Madrid vs Manchester United on Wednesday, February 22 performed the best among Total Viewers (856,000), Households (0.5 rating) and Adults 18-49 Viewers (266,000), the primary sales demo used to set ad rates for sports and other non-female centric programming.

Note: Daytime soaps, talk shows and game shows use Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 to set ad rates.

The lowest rated game was a mixed bag. In Total Viewers, the Wednesday, February 16 match between FC Internazionale Milano vs Liverpool FC was seen by just 727,000 viewers while the Tuesday, February 22 game between Chelsea FC vs LOSC Lille averaged merely 196,000 viewers in Adults 18-49 with an abysmal 0.4 Household rating.

By comparison, “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Let’s Make a Deal” and even “The Talk” attract as low as a 1.0 to a 2.4 rating in Households every weekday. In Total Viewers, each average from as little as 1.4 million viewers to as high as 3.7 million viewers.

CBS will again interrupt its daytime broadcast schedule on Tuesday, March 8 (Liverpool vs FC Internazionale Milano) and Wednesday, March 9 (Real Madrid vs Paris Saint Germain) for continued coverage of the “UEFA Champions League” games.

What follows is a breakdown of how the “UEFA Champions League” games performed in the ratings on Tuesday, February 15; Wednesday, February 16; Tuesday, February 22; and Wednesday, February 23, 2022. All times are for the 3:00 p.m. ET slot except where otherwise noted. Ratings for the pre-game show were not available at press time.

    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
