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 Oct. 31.

A Fox spot for the 2021 World Series is No. 1. Fox also takes second place to promote the Fox Weather app — the mobile home of the new Fox Weather streaming service — and fourth place to generate excitement for 9-1-1.

Rounding out the chart: Hallmark Channel celebrates Coyote Creek Christmas in third, and ABC sings the praises of new musical drama Queens in fifth.

Notably, the Queens spot has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (113), 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).
