Ratings for the week July 29 - August 2, 2024

Big loses for Y&R and B&B.

I knew the Olympics would take viewers away from the soaps.

Political speeches.  Summer Olympics.  I just don't see soaps recovering.  Thank you @Toups

Frank Valentini should be fired. 

Big drop for Young and Restless and Bold and Beautiful I think this may be the lowest rating ever for a FIRST RUN episode of Y&R. I know some of the repeats were lower. I know the Olympics had a big effect but GH only lost 18,000 this week. I am sure their streaming numbers are higher this week if only we knew what they were, probably won't be high enough to make the Nielsen  top 10 for acquired series. I couldn't find a Acquired series chart for LUMINATE/Variety, just Originals 

I disagree that Y&R’s ratings drop had to do with the olympics. Y&R was/is boring! That is why the ratings dropped. Nothing is happening. Just a bunch of scenes strung together. YAWN.
