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. This is the programming the networks have been promoting most heavily to drive tune-in (our data covers the seven-day period through June 14).
On the strength of 316.2 million TV ad impressions, a promo for OWN’s special titled OWN Spotlight: Where Do We Go From Here? is No. 1.
Cable networks dominate our ranking, with USA Network promoting Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story in second place, Paramount Network grabbing third for the Kevin Costner-led drama Yellowstone, and HGTV fourth for Good Bones. The sole traditional broadcaster in the mix: ABC, which lands in fifth place to hype its game show Don’t.
Notably, the OWN promo has the highest iSpot Attention Index (127) in our ranking, getting 27% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
