ARTICLE: Daytime Demo Viewers for the Week of May 6-10, 2024

[Errol]

In addition to reporting weekly ratings information for all daytime broadcast shows and the three daytime soaps, Soap Opera Network is happy to announce that we will once again be able to share daytime ratings among Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 viewers, the two primary sales demographics used to sell advertising rates for daytime television programming. This marks the first time we’ve been able to share this information since at least March 2020.

In addition to a breakdown of how daytime broadcast is performing among the two key women demos, we’re also getting a rare look at how the broadcast soaps are performing among Females 12-17 and Women 18-34, plus season-to-date in each category.

For those seeking a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of May 6-10, 2024 among Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 rating, Households and Total Viewers, click here. You can also view an in-depth breakdown of daytime soaps performed against each other here.

Thanks for this

[Soapsuds]

What about the demo of gay male 18-49?

Thanks Errol for the additional demos.

[Errol]

Happy this content seems to be well received. Will continue to share as consistently as possible.

Well if you do the math, there's gay men somewhere among the Total Viewers after subtracting Women 18-49, Women 18-34 and Women 25-54 by some miracle formula.

[Soapsuds]

The Nielsen ratings is what brought me to SON.. I was looking for updated numbers and other boards were behind a week or two. I decided to Google updated soap ratings and SON popped up. I was like what is SON?

In September I will celebrate 18 years at SON.

[Errol]

Happy early anniversary!'

Ironically, your seeking out ratings and finding SON is the way I found it 22 years ago, although it was through an Inside the Web (pre-Google) search result that got me here. Hahaha.

[Soapsuds]

Thank you Errol!
