MTV Gives the Video Music Awards TV's Biggest Promo Push
And more from Promo Mojo, our exclusive weekly ranking of the programming networks are promoting most heavily
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 August 14.
MTV's 2022 Video Music Awards is No. 1.
Last week's chart-topper, Food Network's Alex vs America, drops to second place, while Food Network’s Big Bad Budget Battle also makes a repeat appearance, landing at fifth place (vs. fourth last time).
Rounding out the top five: HGTV, which builds excitement for the seventh season of Good Bones in third place, and Hallmark Channel, which gives some love to the sixth and final season of Chesapeake Shores in fourth.
Notably, Chesapeake Shores scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (132), 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).
