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 May 8.
Discovery’s Naked and Afraid XL, now in its eighth season, tops the Promo Mojo ranker for the week ended May 8, making it TV’s most-promoted show for a second week in a row.
ABC, the sole traditional broadcaster in our top five, promotes new unscripted true-crime series Who Do You Believe? in second place — also for the second week in a row.
Rounding out the ranking is Food Network, twice — promoting Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition in third place and BBQ Brawl in fourth — and E!, which hypes new reality series Welcome Home Nikki Glaser? in fifth.
Notably, the Worst Cooks and BBQ Brawl promos tie in scoring the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (117), meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch them all the way through (vs. interrupting them by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
