B&C has partnered with attention and conversion analytics company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: Exclusive data showing the top 5 TV promos ranked by TV ad impressions. These are the shows networks have been promoting most heavily to drive tune-in (our data covers the 7-day period through Oct. 8).
Fox’s The Gifted takes our No. 1 spot for the second week in a row, even though its TV ad impression count dropped rather dramatically—to 254 million from 395 million (in, granted, the week leading up to its Oct. 2 series premiere). The Marvel sci-fi drama about kids with mutant powers edges out The Mayor, a new sitcom about a rapper-turned-politician at No. 2, and Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, a fantasy comedy-drama starring Jason Ritter at No. 3. Both are from ABC.
Meanwhile, The CW makes an appearance at No. 5 with its new military-themed drama Valor. And after getting shut out by traditional broadcast shows last time, cable programming returns to our top 5 thanks to Fox Sports 1 with its promos for the American League Division Series at No. 4.
