Weekly Daytime Nielsen Ratings:
1982
Please Note: Four weeks this year (4/19/82,
6/21/82, 8/23/80, 12/20/82) are known as "fast weekly" weeks. Up until
1987, Nielsen would not report final numbers for several weeks a year. The
ratings for these weeks are only preliminary, and do not count towards the
yearly averages for the shows.
The stations
column lists the # of stations that Nielsen counted for the ratings in a
particular week. The % column is the amount of the country that received the
soap. For some reason, those two numbers seem to fluctuate each week. The notes
column lists all of the full and partial preemptions for each
soap.
