“Days of our Lives” to move the hourglass to Peacock
- Thread starter only1moore
- Start date
They have contracts and shows banked. The time is coming, this is the equivalent of primetime series being burned off on Saturday nights.
Won't they make more money just airing them on network.
Daytime ratings for this week won’t be posted until next Thursday.
The cynic in me says it's a move to try and get a few hundred thousand dedicated DOOL fans to sign up for Peacock, in hopes they will pay $6.99 a month in perpetuity, even after DOOL is cancelled.
Actually if you sign up first time this month on the actual website itself it’s $1.99 for the special lol but you’re probably right.
As I said above it will be a week before we see initial ratings. I checked the daytime broadcast ratings from a couple weeks ago and the least watched show was The Talk, 2nd was GMA3 and 3rd least watched was the 4th hour of Today. All three shows still on because they indeed replaced other programs all for the bottom line of business.
It could been worse, tbh i think ABC should clear their only syndies and merge GMA3 into GMA 7-10am, Live at 10am, The View at 11am, Tamron Hall at 1pm, and GH at 2pm.
Surrrrreeeee
Deliberately obtuse? Come on, do better.
How can a show with worse ratings make the network money when they are still paying for the show they took off the air.
Apparently you can be. Wow.
You understand demographics? You understand there is still ad revenue attached to Peacock?

Demographics of older people who don't use streaming? Those doesn't sound like good demographics to me.
How many people who still watch soaps are only using a OTA antenna? I bet a lot. I bet these people also don't use a computer or even know what Peacock is.
2/3 of people over 65 use the internet in their home. That number is only 3/10 for those over age 80, which means adoption is significant (pushing 80%?) for those age 65 to 79.
Time marches on, and in 2022 seniors use the internet too.
It's pretty safe to say that NBC isn't too concerned about what the 80 and up demographic thinks about their decision.
It's a different time we know Days will be on through September 2023 since that is when their contract is up. After that most likely it will be canceled. There just isn't any good shows in daytime anymore. Any talk show you see their on one show one day then on another the next day.
This has to be parody. No one can really be this obtuse.
My guess is that the news show is ultra cheap thus making it easier to bring revenue.
Sure, and better demographics.

either that or a simulcast of LX News on NBC, stories & other features featured on LX News aired on NBC independent from the main LX broadcast (with the option for affiliates to use the hour for more syndicated fare (I predict the latter is what KUSA will do with it since TEGNA already tried the former on its stations in the form of The Daily Blast (I think it was) & it was an obvious ratings disaster)
