    I am not surprised! Nor am I surprised that the Pittsburgh area leads the way. GL has remained one of GL's strong holds despite the local affiliate's decision to bump her from the 3:00 time slot to 10:00 several years ago in order to try and boost Dr. Phil---the viewers followed the LIGHT!
    Keep the LIGHT Shining!

    What is the late 2006/early 2007 bump in google trends? The new production model didn't start till early 2008, and there is hardly any bump there.

    What happened back in 2006-2007 to cause the bump?

    Mark, I'm just guessing but GL made a big push in September/Fall of 2006 when they became the first soap to launch a daily podcast (audio only) of the show.

    In January 2007, GL had their brilliant 70th anniversary episode and they began the Finding Your Light campaign.

    i am stoked with how high cincy is on this list. that's where P&G is headquartered. would show they are tracking the news stories a little closer.
