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 Oct. 2.
NBC’s La Brea is No. 1 for a second week in a row. The network also grabs fifth place to hype its
Quantum Leap revival.
NBC is joined by fellow traditional broadcasters ABC and CBS, which promote new dramas Alaska Daily and East New York in second and fourth place, respectively.
Rounding out the chart: Discovery, which gives some love to the 13th season of reality series Gold Rush in third place.
Notably, Gold Rush scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (113), 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).
