For the first time ever, Soap Opera Network is releasing the individual Live+Same Day versus Live+7 Days (delayed viewing) ratings performance numbers for “General Hospital.”
These numbers compare the show’s reported performance shown in our regular weekly ratings reports versus the show’s performance season-to-date when factoring in delayed viewing.
In this report, we’ll be showing you how the show has performed thus far during the 2020-2021 television season in the categories of Total Viewers, Women 18-49 Viewers and Women 25-54 Viewers. We’ll also present how the show has performed in Men 18+ Viewers and Adults 18-49 Rating.
Note: Season-to-date figures are known in the industry as “most current,” meaning the numbers are intermixed with final delayed viewing (Live+7) figures and Live+SD numbers that have not yet been finalized. This means the latter two weeks shown at the bottom of each category only includes the Live+SD numbers. Additionally, averages are based on each week’s total number unrounded up/down. Differences reflect an increase between the averages of Live+SD and Live+7. All numbers are tallied by The Nielsen Company.
