Fiscal quarters (Q1-Q4) for the year of 2022 start on the first of the month and the end the month:

  • Q1 2022 Dates: January 1 - March 31
  • Q2 2022 Dates: April 1 - June 30
  • Q3 2022 Dates: July 1 - September 30
  • Q4 2022 Dates: October 1 - December 31

I think the date you mentioned Monday, September 19th sounds like the week that networks usually start their season premieres of new shows as well as current ones (e.g, Chicago Whatever; CSI: Whatever; Grey's Whatever) for their fall lineup. I don't think this has anything to do with DAYS specifically per se. It seems to me what they're trying to do is entice subscribers for the yearly subscription. That way, it serves as an enticement for their 2023 Fall lineup because guess what? Brand new episodes of your favorite TV shows and brand new dramas as you've already subscribed for the first year! Plus, other premium shows exclusively on Peacock. I see what they're doing.

As far as my mentioning of the fiscal periods, it seems that they would want a bump at the end of Q3 and have it steady and consistent for Q4.

@Errol You said the discount offer doesn't begin until Sept 19 ...
but I thought it was for anyone enrolling at any point in September.

The TVLine article says that the primetime shows switch from Hulu to Peacock on Sept 19; and DAYS switches from NBC to Peacock on Sept 12,
but the $1.99 discount offer starts for anyone signing up "during the month of September".
https://tvline.com/2022/08/24/peacock-streaming-price-discount-next-day-nbc-shows/

And I just checked the NBC Universal Media Village
The peacock press release says:
"Fall Celebration Offer—$1.99 per Month, or $19.99 for the Year—Available to New Peacock Premium Customers Throughout September
<snip>
With so much great content coming to Peacock in the coming months, Peacock is providing new customers with a special Fall celebratory offer. Throughout the month of September, new customers will be able to sign up for Peacock’s premium tier for just $1.99 per month, or $19.99 for an entire year, and enjoy access to their favorite NBC and Bravo series, as well as Peacock’s massive offering of movies, TV shows, live sports, news, and more."

The Sept 19 date is the date that most of the NBC primetime shows go to *only Peacock* after airing
(instead of the prior pattern of going to Hulu *and* Peacock after airing).
For example: the Wed eve "Chicago" Med/Fire/PD shows, the Thurs eve Law&Order franchise shows, and Saturday Night Live and other late night shows.

Bravo shows will go to Peacock after airing as well - mostly to Peacock premium.

EDIT to SIMPLIFY:
Sept 19 is mentioned because it's the start of NBC's fall season.

Yeah I just added an edit to my prior post --
The Sept 19 date is the official start of the NBC fall season.
(So that's why it's the start of primetime shows being sent to Peacock after airing.)
Also this includes late night NBC shows (and not just primetime) such as Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers.
I'm not sure but I think these primetime and latenight shows will go to Regular Peacock after airing (not premium?)

I just re-read the press release ...
I think it says that Bravo shows will go to Peacock Premium after airing.

Read the full release here:

 Well, that's a pretty cool for subscribers who not only love their DAYS, but watch Bravo and NBC primetime too. I see what they're doing.

I just went with what I saw in the thread. My mistake. I did find it odd they'd offer this deal AFTER DAYS moves since it would literally entice the audience to sign up and it would be stupid not to take advantage right away. The problem was their wording though. They could have just said September 1 instead of throughout September. Implication isn't something you should have in a PR. You need cold hard facts. Literally say September 1-September 30. People need dates. Haha.

Corday gives a little history lesson, beginning with his father on directing GL Radio and TV. But, in a little bit he says, "In 1975 Days went from a 1/2 show to an hour show…another first." Is he kidding? Or does he just not know what he doesn't know? NBC took AW to an hour first & when that succeeded they took DOOL to an hour & they had a standalone hour show for DOC but never pursued it further. And, then of course, since in the soap business corporate copy-catting is rife, other nets took other shows to an hour. (Despite resistance from the soap creative world.) A woman named Len Bolen & the Head Honcho Fred Silverman forged a new way, but it began with AW.

    • Upton introduced a slew of new characters which must have had viewers heads spinning. And then Jean Holloway wrote all of them out. No wonder viewers switched off. And now we return to Love of Life... Charles, after a long period of refusing to admit he’s paralyzed, has had to accept his new life in a wheelchair, but insists that only Felicia care for him. Despite her growing exhaustion, he refuses to consider hiring a nurse, and Felicia, under the weight of her self imposed guilt forfeits her art work to accede to Charles’s demands and devote herself entirely tohis needs. She tells herself that being a prisoner in this house is her punishment and refuses to allow her mind to drift to Eddie, who had opened her mind to new levels. Despite Dr. Cusack’s insistence on additional help after Felicia’s first collapse, Charles continues to insist that only she can administer to him. But Felicia collapses again, this time with viral pneumonia, and a nurse is brought in. Felicia’s condition worsens instead of improving, causing Joe to speculate that it’s due to Charles’s subtle encouragement of Felicia’s guilt feelings and her own self-punishment. Eddie visits her, even though they decided not to see each other any more because of the emotional pull between them. In the delirium of a spiking fever Felicia calls out for Eddie. Joe feels she has reached a crisis and wants her in the hospital, but Charles is still clinging to her. When Felicia finally passes the crisis point and recovers, Sara warns her that she called for Eddie and must be more careful in the future.  The district attorney charges Ben with fraud and conspiracy. Meg puts up his bail. As Arlene, terrified of jail, is taken into custody, Carrie has an attack of chest pain. Ben continues to try to prove to Betsy that he loves her and has grown up, but circumstances continue to make her question his motives, and she rejects his overtures. Arlene, questioned by the court officer preparing the court report, cynically states that the rich, like the Harpers, always get away with everything and she will take the rap. She accidentally slips and mentions the forged divorce papers, and the officer notes this.Carrie is hospitalized. Joe suspects a dangerous thoracic aneurism, but then, all heart involvements are dangerous. Arlene wants to stay, but has to go to court for the sentencing. Ben, at his own insistence, makes a statement absolving Arlene of all responsibility, saying her only crime was loving him too much. The judge takes this into consideration and sentences Arlene to six months probation. However, when sentencing Ben, he explains that new evidence has turned up—the forgeries—and Ben is sentenced to one to four years. Ben asks to begin serving his sentence immediately. As Ben tried to arrange financial aid for Betsy through Jamie, she visits him in jail, saying the offer was “decent” but this is her baby. When he insists the baby was conceived in love, Betsy claims he was only pretending love. When Ben tells her to tell the baby that “there was a father who would have really welcomed him into this world,” Betsy rushes out in tears, and Ben starts to cry. Jamie, having waited patiently for Diana to recover from her emotional depressionn,now tells her he can no longer live with her as brother and sister. Diana replies that they have good memories and have taught each other how deep a relationship can be, but now it is time for them to go their separate ways. Meg, learning that the child of an annulled marriage is legitimate and the father has rights, sets up a trust fund for Betsy’s baby. Betsy doesn’t want her child ruined by money. Arlene is having trouble holding a job, despite help from her parole officer, and is under the twin pressures of having to repay Ray’s bail loan and the stunning news that Carrie’s necessary surgery will cost over ten thousand dollars. Carrie, discovering this, checks herself out of the hospital. Joe and Dr. Tom Crawford explain to Arlene that the money end of the surgery can be handled through the free clinic, but Carrie must have the surgery now. But Carrie’s past due hospital bill has been turned over to a collection agency, and Arlene is out of work again, so she goes to Ray for help. He would like to turn her down, as he has discovered that she was informing Rick of Ray’s attempts to muscle in on Skylar Mountain, but when his influential customer, Mr. Ian Russell, tells Ray he wants to meet that girl, Ray lets Arlene know he has a job for her. Meg asks Rick if they can start over together, but Rick has had it and is clearing out his desk. Learning that Ray has withdrawn his backing offer to Rick and that Rick has no available cash, Meg calls his bluff. She sets a price on her share so high that Rick can’t touch it, and sets her price for buying him out so low that he would have nothing left. Rick and Cal decide to elope and tell everyone afterward. But Meg gets wind of the plans and confronts them in Rick’s office. She blurts out that Cal is not the only one who loves Rick and that she and Rick were lovers as recently as a month ago. Rick tries to explain to Cal, but she is revolted and takes off in her car. When she runs it off the road, she takes off on foot, and is found, exhausted, by a hunter, who calls the highway patrol. When Rick arrives with Joe,. she refuses to let Rick anywhere near her. Cal refuses to believe Rick’s assurances that he’s really through with Meg, and makes plans to go to San Francisco. Meg, learning from Jamie .that Rick is severing their partnership, informs her lawyer that she wants all monies in both Beaver Ridge and Skylar _ Mountain tied up, and she wants Rick ruined. Rick follows Cal to California and tells her he has given up everything to prove that Meg means nothing to him. Cal insists that she feels nothing, but relents when Betsy calls, confirming everything Rick has said. She then admits that she loves him but says it won’t work. But Meg has followed them and confronts them in Cal’s hotel room. She informs Rick she’s bringing a suit against him for breaking up their partnership and this will ruin him. Rick quickly points out that Meg just defeated herself rather than him, because Cal had refused to marry him, thinking her mother loved him. Seeing what Meg’s “love” is, there is no reason for Cal to deny her own love for him.  
    • fyi. there is some discussion of the views of the new Pope Leo on the "politics thread". (Link) 
    • The poster said "update", so they were likely following up on their own post on this thread about Pope Francis' funeral.   That is all.
    • This is probably an unfair generalization, but I do say it with affection: I've always thought of Felicia (and by extension, Linda Dano) as "your mother's fabulous but slightly insufferable friend." Sort of a Godmommie Mame, you know?
