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. 24).
For the second week in a row, Fox dominates our ranking, grabbing three out of five of the slots.
Fox’s new procedural drama about first responders, 9-1-1, moves from fourth place last time to first place this time, racking up just over 276 million TV ad impressions over seven days. The Four: Battle for Stardom, Fox’s upcoming singing competition, holds steady at No. 2, while new Fox sitcom LA to Vegas debuts in our ranking at No. 3. Another new entrant, Freeform’s Grown-ish, a black-ish spin-off, takes fourth place.
Closing out our chart at No. 5 is one more new entrant: HGTV’s husband-and-wife home-reno show Home Town. Notably, Home Town scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (145) in our ranking, getting 45% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
