Not a good week for ATWT… Hope this past week was better!
I read on the SON message forums that it is rumored that ATWT will be renewed!
What does every1 think, do u think 11/16-20 was a good week for ATWT?
My wife is going to be very upset if ATWT goes under. These things tend to have loyal audiences so it surprises me ATWT’s figures would vary by that much week to week.
All I have to say is keep watching ATWT. I know there’s a 2 PM war between that & OLTL. Just think, Passions was low-rated for a few years in a row. ATWT will not become another GL for sure.
Personally, I think all viewers should count (including DVR viewers like my mom).
This just in: AMC fires head-writer!
What is it with Wednesdays? Seems that’s the day that most soaps get their biggest numbers?
Wow. Obama’s preemption really hurt DAYS. I don’t think CBS is going to dump ATWT so soon after GL esp since it’s really gotten it’s act together.
DukeBX, Wednesday was Veterans Day and a lot of people had off from work and school. Thats why Wednesday is soo high for all soaps especially Days and OLTL.
days really kicked but on wednesday. it beat b+b by 100,000 plus. I wish it hadnt been preempted on tuesday though. If it hadn;t been for that it would have really been up-by about 600,000 or more.
I personally would love ATWT to go away because that would help OLTL. That is the ONLY timeslot with 3 soaps. ABC should factor in the fact that GH and AMC don’t have competition and so OLTL is holding up well against that. (we just need to repeat those Wednesday numbers more!
sweet
GH and AMC both have competition, TR. AMC goes up against Days in most markets. There are no “safe” timeslots, and if ATWT goes away, OLTL is going to be alone at the bottom of the ratings, making it an even bigger target. And if ATWT does go away, it in no way guarantees that its viewers will move to another soap.
Nice numbers for the week.
The soaps needed a huge week like this. The only soap that seems to have its problems with ratings is B&B which keeps on bleeding viewers even during stunts.
Soaps have gone through the recession with only one canceled soap, if it can get through that then it can get through anything.
ATWT is looking more and more likely to being renewed, I think CBS can handle three soaps so it shouldn’t be a problem for them like GL was.
DAYS IS HUGE!
Doug, really, AMC is up against Days in both markets? I live in Chicago, and Days is up against One Life to Live. I lived in LA recently and I believe it was the same there.
OLTL and Days are my two soaps, so whatever helps them is fine by me.
true. thanks rob.
I remember watching all the soaps on abc when i was younger. Days was the first real soap outside of abc i watched.(on and off with Santa Barbara)glad they they are having a good season so far. started re-watching Days again.
first of all the only two soaps im liking right now is atwt and oltl ok now i think both of these shows should not be at the bottom cause they have great shorelines right now the reason why the rating for these 2 soaps are down at the bottom is because nobody knows about the story-lines i belevie if these two soap go on the talk show they will get more people tune in. now i dont think oltl going anywhere cause if they were going to get cancel they would not be moving to new york city and it expense to move there so i believe that nobody know the story that going on i hope that atwt improve next week they should cause molly came and she was on 4 of the 5 day that a great thing i hope b&b will tune in now since she is on
DAYS comes on at 1pm in just about almost every market except a few like Denver where I believe it airs at 2pm.
It really depends what soaps air at 1pm in your market.
Well, the fact is that ALL of the soaps have competition. It might not be another soap, but it could well be a more popular show. So no show is getting a free pass, unless it airs against dead air. Which, you know, is rather unlikely.
And I don’t want anything else to be cancelled, whether I watch it or not.
why is it that when it comes to soaps, total viewers and not the target audience of 18-49 matter?
OLTL is always in top 3-4 among key women targets yet there is talk of it being cancelled when something like B&B trails in 6th place always behing ATWT only.
