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 15.

Food Network dominates the Promo Mojo ranker, grabbing first, second and third place to promote, respectively, Supermarket Stakeout, BBQ Brawl and Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition.

NBC, the sole traditional broadcaster in our top five, hypes the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, which aired Sunday night, in fourth place.

Rounding out the ranking is HGTV, which promotes the third season of Celebrity IOU in fifth place.

Notably, the Celebrity IOU promo scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (120), 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).
