And more from Promo Mojo, our exclusive weekly ranking of the programming networks are promoting most heavily
B&C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the 7-day period through April 11.
On the strength of 379.4 million TV ad impressions, an ABC promo for Rebel, a new drama starring Katey Sagal, tops our chart. It’s the second week in a row it’s No. 1.
ABC also once again grabs third place to promote new comedy Home Economics, while fellow broadcast network CBS takes fourth to drum up excitement for the 2021 ACM Awards — the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards telecast set for Sunday, April 18, with Keith Urban and Mickey Guyton hosting.
