The Soap Ratings    (w/e Jan 16th)
    The Christmas season is over, and that usually means steep ratings declines. But that hasn't been so so far. And a few series records have been set to boot. "Passions" set a record the previous week in adults 18-49, and this week it set a record in adults 25-54. Soon NBC will own the daytime world.

Households
 1  The Young & The Restless     4.7   17     -6
 2  The Bold & the Beautiful     3.7   12     -9
    General Hosptial             3.7   12      9
 4  Days of Our Lives            3.6   12     -2
 5  All My Children              3.4   11      6
 6  One Life To Live             3.3   11      7
 7  As The World Turns           3.2   11     -6
 8  Guilding Light               2.5    8    -14
 9  Passions                     2.1    8      -
10  Port Charles                 2.0    7     11

       The household ratings have come down somewhat since their Christmas highs, but as least one network is still making some headway. And that network would be ABC. But "Port Charles" is really the one driving the charge as viewers are finally coming to the little soap that could. It's just a tick shy of its highest ratings ever.

Women 18-49
 1  General Hosptial             2.9   17
 2  Days of Our Lives            2.7   16
 3  The Young & The Restless     2.5   15
 4  All My Children              2.4   14  
    One Life To Live             2.4   14      
 6  The Bold & the Beautiful     2.1   13  
 7  Passions                     2.0   12
 8  As The World Turns           1.6    9
 9  Guilding Light               1.4    8
    Port Charles                 1.4    8    

       "GH" still owns this demo, continuing to beat the usually top rated "Days." ABC is on top of this demo too as "PC" is now in a tie for 9th with "GL" and the two middle soaps, "AMC" and "OLTL" are tied for 4th.

Women 18-34
 1  Days of Our Lives            3.4   20 
 2  Passions                     2.5   15 
 3  General Hosptial             2.3   14  
 4  All My Children              2.1   12 
 5  The Young & The Restless     1.9   11    
    One Life To Live             1.9   11    
 7  The Bold & the Beautiful     1.7   10 
 8  As The World Turns           1.4    8   
    Port Charles                 1.4    8
10  Guilding Light               1.0    6

       Yes, this demo is still owned by NBC. And no, not other network is making any real inroads.
