ABC Gives 'Alaska Daily' TV's Biggest Promo Push
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 TV's most-promoted programming ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through October 9.
ABC's new drama Alaska Daily is No. 1.
The network is joined by the other Big Four traditional broadcasters: CBS, which promotes new drama Fire Country in second place; NBC, which hypes returning drama La Brea and the new Quantum Leap reboot in, respectively, third and fourth; and Fox, which gives some love to new drama Monarch in fifth.
Notably, Fire Country scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (122), meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch its promos all the way through (vs. interrupting viewing by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
