Deep Soap: Wake Up Call
Sara Bibel writes a scathing message regarding the latest Nielsen ratings: "Dear Brian Frons: consider this week’s ratings your wake-up call. There are only eight soaps on the air. Your highest rated soap, GENERAL HOSPITAL, was fourth for the week amongst the only demo you care about, Women 18-49. Both DAYS OF OUR LIVES and THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL beat GH. GH had its worst week ever in Household ratings, 1.8. and W18-49, 1.1. You can’t say it’s the 'market' when other shows aren’t having their worst weeks ever. You are getting PWNED. So what are you going to do about it? Isn’t it time for a little soul searching?"

P&G Gets 5% More Media for $440 Million Less
Procter & Gamble Co. cut marketing spending more than $440 million globally last quarter, yet still increased media weight or impressions 5%, executives said today, and the company is eyeing more cost concessions from media as the TV upfront nears. In all, marketing-spending cuts by the world's largest advertiser, including traditional advertising and shopper marketing, amounted to 2.4% of sales, a P&G spokesman said.
That means P&G's marketing cuts last quarter amounted to about 5% of its reported advertising spending for the entire fiscal year that ended last June. If sustained for a full year, last quarter's spending level likely would reduce the company's ad-to-sales ratio to its lowest level in at least 15 years.
