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. 26).
Fox’s promos for the Daytona 500, which had 142.7 million TV ad impressions leading up to the legendary race, just edged out ABC’s big push for the Oscars telecast (138.3 million). ABC also secured a second spot on our chart for When We Rise (136.6 million), Dustin Lance Black’s docudrama miniseries about LGBT history.
So where’s the promo heat for TV not of the tentpole/special variety? Over at NBC, in fourth place with its promos for The Voice, and TBS, in fifth place forThe Detour.
