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.

    • Pam Long wrote the show for a very short period at the end although it's been reported that she was submitting story ideas for a while, I believe she's only credited as head writer for the last 8 weeks or so. After the Corringtons (Aug 80- to Feb 81) Paul hired Dorthea Ann Purser and Sam Ratcliffe (March 2 81 to Nov 6 81). There was a writers' strike from May to July 81 during which time it's been speculated that Rauch hired Gerald Flesher and Paul Rader to write. They later replaced Purser/Ratcliffe as of Nov 9 1981 when Kobe took over as EP. Paul is credited as head writer at least through October 4, 1982. On YouTube I found an episode from Oct 22, 1982 and Pam is credited.  Flesher was fired and out after June 11 1982 episode. I believe Gary Tomlin and Linda Hamner were co heads with Paul through Sept or so then Linda was moved back to scripts/breakdowns (or was fired) and Carolyn Culliton got the third co head writer slot all until Pam was named sole head.
    • Huge kudos to the production team and the writers - we truly got to witness some beautiful and heartfelt moments between John’s extended family. DAYS really pulled off a touching and fitting goodbye for both Bill Hayes (Doug) and Drake Hogestyn (John). You could feel the love and respect for Drake throughout. He came across as a real “super dad,” deeply loved by so many. And Deidre... wow. So strong, holding it all together - she deserves her own standing ovation. A few thoughts that came to mind… I wish we got a short scene of Roman sitting with John - just to thank him for looking after his kids all those years (Carrie, Sami, Eric), and to acknowledge that John and Marlena truly belonged together. It would’ve been such a meaningful moment of closure. I kept hoping Kristen would sneak into John’s room to say goodbye - maybe apologize for all the pain she caused, and tell him she really did (or does) love him. But I get it - it wouldn’t be the same without Eileen Davidson. Still, how incredible would it be if Eileen came back for a few episodes and we got some classic flashbacks? And Sami. Where is Sami?! A goodbye scene between her and John felt essential - with her finally thanking him, and apologizing for all the heartache between them. So much history there. Really hoping we’ll see all of John’s kids and grandkids at his memorial - and also Maggie and Julie. Marlena could really use the support of those who’ve known her the longest.

    • Is that scene from the horrendous Donna/Nick/Pam triangle the show tried at that time?

      Some awkward vibes in the interview, although it was interesting to hear him talk about Knots Landing and also mention that he was writing a primetime project with Ken Corday (did that go anywhere?). He also mentions plans to leave again eventually for a primetime soap.
    • Great watch !  I'm reminded how far the show had moved away from the Ryans during this period…Not a trace of the Ryans.  This episode bares no resemblance to the original Ryan’s Hope. Traci Lin is much more compelling than I remember.  Wonder what she would have accomplished if she had stuck it out... Scott Holmes is much more appealing here than on ATWT.  His Tom Hughes was always kinda sour. Grant Show sure did come along way.  His biggest talent here is his chest. Cali Timmons Cali Timmons Cali Timmons…What a star !  I really enjoyed Maggie as the show's heroine.  I wish she had done more work after she left daytime.  But she found love on RH with Geoff Pierson -- that’s probably better than a career.
    • Well, natch....but I mean, they never got a love scene onscreen? I'm just surprised. Although I guess it took Beth and Lujack longer than I expected too.
