TNT Gives ‘The Alienist: Angel of Darkness’ 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 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 July 12).
On the strength of 322.1 million TV ad impressions, a promo for TNT’s The Alienist: Angel of Darkness is number one.
Our ranking is dominated by cable networks, with TNT joined by HGTV, which hypes Vacation House Rules; Nickelodeon, with a “wild about movies”-themed spot promoting its Thursday family movie nights; and OWN, which gives some love to Love & Marriage: Huntsville. Traditional broadcaster CBS is the exception to the cable rule with its promo for new competition series Tough as Nails.
Notably, the Nick spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (143) in our ranking, getting 43% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
