B&C has partnered with attention analytics company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: Exclusive data showing the top five 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 Feb. 19).
On the strength of 113.2 million TV ad impressions for its promos leading up to its second-season premiere yesterday, TBS’s The Detour takes our No. 1 spot, moving up from fifth place during the last frame. It’s the only repeat-appearance promo campaign in our top 5.
Meanwhile, ABC hypes the upcoming Jimmy Kimmel-hosted Oscars telecast (No. 4), while CBS plugs The Good Fight (No. 2). And A&E serves up a creepy promo for the final season of Bates Motel (No. 5), while CNN gets serious about laughter in its new series The History of Comedy (No 3).
