The Revolution Continues to Tank in Ratings

ABC announced that the launch date for Katie Couric's new show, Katie, will be September 10th of this year.  Will General Hospital get the boot, or will The Revolution be the victim?


Thankfully for soap fans, General Hospital had 2.34 million viewers during the week of March 5th.

The Revolution is at serious risk.   After eight weeks on the air, it hit an audience low with 1.40 million viewers last week, 40% below year-ago occupant One Life to Live.  They're losing viewers in all three of the key female demographics.  OLTL had 2.35 million viewers at this time last year.

Meanwhile, The Chew remains close to the former owner of its time slot, All My Children., 2.23 million viewers vs. 2.32 million.  All My Children is still slightly ahead. Erosion in the three key female demos from the beloved soap ranged from 44 to 50 percent.

  5. I'm a woman over 50 and not considered important in the demographics. I was an ABC soap fan for over 30 years. Thanks ABC for giving me more time to do others things and turn the TV off during the day.
