That dismal audience of 2.7 million viewers for the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards on the CW looks pretty damn good compared with this year’s viewership for the awards show, which has been without a permanent TV home for the past four years. Airing on cable network HLN, the Daytime Emmys drew 912,000 from 8-10 PM on Saturday night. The live broadcast more than doubled the cable network’s primetime average, but it is unclear whether the CNN sibling would go for an encore after picking up the awards show in a one-off deal this year. Compare with last year’s Daytime Emmys on CBS (5.4 million), this year’s telecast was down 83%.

Considering they put the show together in less than a month, which means even less time to promote it, I’d say this was a success. Plus as you guys said they doubled the average on a Saturday night as opposed to Sunday.
SOooo…tired of susan lucci. Move on.
There’s a surprise ratings-wise…as if the emmy people didn’t expect the ratings to be down due to it being on a news-oriented network and there was no interest in the show to begin with.
Saturday night….on a cable network…the year after they killed most of the soaps. The were lucky to get that many viewers.
Maybe everyone on all the remaining soaps can come out as gay…they can all give each other awards for it…and bask in the viewership of the 200 people that still give a damn. I’ve watched Gays of Our Lives for years…back when it was Days. The writing is horrible. Since so many soaps are off the air, you would think the remaining 3-4 could pick up the cream of the writing crop and pick up a lot of new viewers. But if the Days writing team won an Emmy, then there’s no hope. I think that writing team has already been fired. Viewers aren’t as easily impressed as the daytime Emmy voters apparently.
Almost anything was better than shambles they’ve put on the last few years with an imbedded informercial for Vegas running intermittently during uh…. the… uh… ceremony …
That was it for a tribute to AMC & OLTL? More like Susan Lucci glorifying herself. I think we would have liked a retrospective, not LaLucci trying to get applause. Awkward pauses….
