NBC Gives the Winter Olympics TV’s Biggest Promo Push Five Weeks in a Row
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 the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through February 13.
It’s no surprise that NBC promos for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Super Bowl LVI lead the chart — in first and second place, respectively. (This marks the fifth week in a row at No. 1 for the Winter Games.)
Meanwhile, Animal Planet’s adorable answer to the Big Game, Puppy Bowl XVIII, gets some love in third place.
Closing out the chart: Fox News, which serves up a general promo for its news coverage in fourth place, and Hallmark Channel, which hypes the latest installment of The Wedding Veil trilogy of romantic movies in fifth.
Notably, the Fox News promo has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (168), meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
