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 June 19.
The Old Man, FX’s new spy thriller starring Jeff Bridges, is No. 1 for the second week in a row.
Cable networks sweep the list overall, with FX joined by Food Network, which hypes new series Me or the Menu in second place and the 15th season of The Great Food Truck Race in third; E!, which gives some love to new reality series Mathis Family Matters in fourth; and HGTV, which builds excitement for the second season of Bargain Block in fifth place.
Notably, The Great Food Truck Race scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (101), meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch its promos all the way through (vs. interrupting viewing by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
