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 Dec. 25).
Fox’s new sitcom The Mick takes first place on the strength of 273.9 million TV ad impressions in just one week (up from 159.9 million during the previous 7-day period), in support of its Jan. 1 premiere, while Star, also on Fox, takes fourth place leading up to its Jan. 4 return (after the heavily hyped pilot episode kick-off on Dec. 14).
Meanwhile, our previous No. 1, Freeform’s Beyond, actually saw a week-over-week surge in TV ad impressions, going from 166.4 to 247.4 million — though it slips to third place thanks to The Mick and new entrant Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence, Investigation Discovery’s provocatively titled six-part docu-series that starts Jan. 15.
