B&C has partnered with attention and conversion analytics company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: Exclusive data showing the top 5 TV promos ranked by TV ad impressions. These are the shows networks have been promoting most heavily to drive tune-in (our data covers the 7-day period through Dec. 10).
For the third week in a row, promos for HGTV’s Fixer Upper top our chart, this time racking up 210 million TV ad impressions (down from 230 million in the previous 7-day period). It seems that viewers just can’t get enough of Chip and Joanna Gaines’ hit home-renovation show, now in its fifth and final season; Fixer Upper promos also once again scored the highest iSpot Attention Index (123) in our ranking, getting 23% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
Fox takes the No. 2 spot for The Four: Battle for Stardom, its new singing competition coming in January, while NBC grabs the No. 3 spot for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Closing out our ranking: History with its new historical fiction drama Knightfall at No. 4 and Fox again, at No. 5, with its new procedural drama about first responders, 9-1-1.
