The January 6th Committee’s final public hearing is scheduled for Monday, December 19, preempting all or part of the daytime soaps, “The Talk” and “GMA3.”

“The Bold and the Beautiful” was interrupted briefly on the West Coast due to CBS News’ special coverage of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

Americans are more interested in watching soaps than impeachment trial coverage, ratings from day two and day three show. ABC holds demo lead among broadcast networks.
