Daytime Ratings - The Soaps Clean Up

All four of the soaps still broadcasting managed to gain viewers from the previous week. The alarming fact is though that they are all way down on the same week from the previous year. ABC have yet to announce what time slot General Hospital will be broadcast in once Katie Couric's new talk show takes the soap's slot in September. It will make interesting reading to see how many of these shows are still broadcasting this time next year.
