THE NUMBERS
Due to the Memorial Day holiday, all daytime broadcast shows, except for “The Price is Right” and “NBC News Daily,” were coded as specials on Monday, May 29. As a result, ratings for the week of May 29-June 2, 2023 are (mostly) based on four days (Tuesday, May 30-Friday, June 2, 2023).
Leading the pack again this week was “The Price is Right” (3.729 million / 4.251 million), which gained +76,000 and +82,000 viewers, respectively, over last week for each of its half hours. Also up week-to-week was “Let’s Make a Deal” (2.215 million / 2.608 million), gaining +33,000 and +112,000 viewers for each half-hour.
“The Young and the Restless” (3.308 million) and “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.744 million) were down week-to-week, losing -39,000 and -73,000 viewers, respectively. However, in a rarity, only “The Young and the Restless” saw improvement over the show’s performance two years ago among Total Viewers (+142,000).
Despite being preempted on Monday, May 29 due to NBC’s airing of the French Open, “NBC News Daily” (999,000) saw a small uptick week-to-week among Total Viewers, adding +29,000 viewers over last week. The show still averaged a very weak 0.1 rating in Women 18-49, the same as last week.
“GMA3: What You Need to Know” (1.439 million) was up +110,000 week-to-week and was the only other daytime broadcast show to see an increase compared to its performance two years ago, gaining +23,000 viewers over its average in 2021. Meanwhile, “The View” (2.204 million) was up +3,000 viewers over last week while “General Hospital” (2.102 million) managed to stop the five weeks of declines reported last week, gaining +35,000 viewers over last week.
“The Talk” aired repeats all week and is excluded from the rankings.
