The
Soap Ratings (w/e Feb 21st)
If you like General Hosptial, you're in for a real treat. On the week
that
Brenda left, the soap tore up the ratings charts.

Restless

As you can see, "GH" notched its best ratings in recent memory, tying
with
"B&B" for the number two spot. Only 3 of the soaps posted losses
over
last year, which is probably more indicative of the snowstorms that
ravaged
the eastern part of the country that week. But still, with 24% growth
over
last year, "GH" sure is impressive.
Women 18-49

"GH" also tore up this demo, attracting its highest women 18-49 rating
in years. And remember when "Days" used to cominate this demo? Not
anymore.
The soap is now tied for fifth with "AMC," even watching traditional
demo
inferiors life "OLTL" and "B&B" surpass it.
And although I don't have the women 18-34 numbers (NBC has stopped
posting
them since the "Days" slump started last month), "GH" took it with a
2.7/15
rating, the first time a soap has beat "Days in more than 10 years in
the
demo. Cheers!
