After five weeks of topping our chart with the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, NBC gets bumped from our No. 1 spot by ABC thanks to promos for the90th Academy Awardstelecast that racked up over 255 million TV ad impressions. But NBC does make a nice showing in second place for its new crime comedy-drama Good Girls.
ABC pops up again in third place with its promos for the reboot of American Idol.
And closing out the ranking are USA Network’s Unsolved, a limited series about the murders of Tupac and Biggie Smalls, at No. 4, and FX’s hit Atlanta at No. 5. Notably, Atlanta promos score the highest iSpot Attention Index (136) in our ranking, getting 36% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
