Stability was the word during the week of May 13-17, 2024 as each daytime broadcast series was mostly on par with their week ago performance in both Women 18-49 and Women 25-54 rating.
As for Total Viewers, the first half-hour of “The Price is Right” (3.716 million) saw the biggest week-to-week increase, adding +78,000 viewers. Conversely, “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.530 million) saw the biggest week-to-week decrease, losing -103,000 viewers, which also marked the show’s third smallest audience of the season.
“General Hospital” (1.902 million) saw its first week-to-week uptick in six weeks among Total Viewers, marking its best performance since the week of April 22-26, 2024. That said, the show remained below two million viewers for the fifth consecutive week and the 11th time overall this season. The show was flat with its week ago performance in both Women 18-49 and Women 25-54, remaining ABC’s top daytime show in both categories.
What follows is a breakdown of how the daytime broadcast shows performed during the week of May 13-17, 2024 in Women 18-49, Women 25-54, Households and Total Viewers, including a look at their performance during the comparable week last year.
