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. 3).
Promos for HGTV’s Fixer Upper racked up 230 million TV ad impressions, topping our chart for the second week in a row. And once again, Fixer Upper scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (122) in our ranking, getting 22% 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 its new procedural drama about first responders, 9-1-1, plus the No. 3 spot for The Four: Battle for Stardom, a new singing competition coming in January. Thanks to NBC grabbing the No. 4 spot for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, traditional broadcasters have the edge in our top 5.
Closing out our ranking: History with its new historical fiction drama Knightfall.
