Coverage of the House Select Committee’s public hearings on the January 6th Capitol Assault led to nearly every daytime broadcast series losing viewers week to week and year to year during the week of June 13-17, 2022. The only exception was “Days of our Lives” (1.723 million) which managed to grow in total audience over the prior week and the year ago.
“The Young and the Restless” (3.273 million) and “The Talk” (1.389 million) were the only other daytime broadcast shows to see an increase year to year, albeit the latter series could still use a substantial bump in viewership despite recently getting a pick up for a 13th season by CBS.
“The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.747 million) and “Let’s Make a Deal” (2.246 million / 2.568 million) saw substantial losses week to week with the former down -315,000 over its performance one week earlier while the latter was down -209,000 viewers for its first half-hour and down -294,000 viewers week to week for its second half-hour. Overall, “B&B” was down a mere -44,000 viewers over the same week last year while “Deal” was down -122,000 and -188,000, respectively.
“General Hospital” (2.147 million) saw a small drop week to week and year to year in Total Viewers.
