Has anyone heard how the ratings are for the time period formerly occupied
by GL?

Here's an article that addresses that. Bottom line, it looks like the
ratings are similar, but LMAD costs less and, in the markets where GL
aired in the morning, it's a better lead-in to Price is Right.

Lets Make a Deal Viewers Up vs. Guiding Light; better lead-in for The
Price is Right
Posted on 23 October 2009 by Robert Seidman

Josef Adalian has the scoop on numbers for Let�s Make a Deal after
it�s first couple of weeks of replacing Guiding Light. The ratings
are up, but it seems that the increases are mostly made up of older
viewers:
Well, after two weeks of episodes, �Deal� is drawing a few more
viewers than �GL� overall, up 7 percent in overall households (1.6/5)
vs. the soap�s 2008-09 average (1.5/5).
But it looks like most of those extra viewers are older. In the key
daytime demographics of women 18-49 (0.7/4) and 25-54 (0.8/5), �Deal�
is down 13 percent and 20 percent, respectively, compared with the
�GL� average. The gameshow is flat vs. �GL� with women 18-34.
Not surprisingly, because it�s not a soap opera, �Deal� has ticked up
a tenth of a ratings point in all the key male demos.
read the rest on The Wrap
Adalian considers that �Deal� isn�t a bust, nor a breakout hit, but
notes that CBS sent out a press release about The Price is Right
getting its highest ratings in a year and it�s no coincidence that
�Deal� is TPIR�s new lead-in.
When you consider that it costs less than Guiding Light, that its
ratings are about the same and that so far it�s a better lead-in for
TPIR, the early signs are that this was a good �Deal� for CBS.

Thank you and darn. I want them to have 0 people watching. I make it a point
to have my tv on a different station.

LOL, so do I. One day, I was watching something just before it (The
Early Show, I guess) and LMAD started. I immediately turned the
channel, but not before catching a minute of the craptasticness of it.
I loved the show as a child; now, pass.
