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 seven-day period through Nov. 28.
A Fox spot for College Football is No. 1, though last week’s chart-topper, Hallmark Channel, still makes a strong showing: The Christmas-obsessed network grabs third place and fourth to promote, respectively, The Christmas Contest and Christmas at Castle Hart — both Hallmark Channel original movies.
Even more event television rounds out the chart: NBC hypes its Annie Live! musical special in second place, and National Geographic promotes its six-episode, three-night anthology drama series The Hot Zone: Anthrax in fifth.
Notably, the Annie Live! spot has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (105), meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
