HGTV’s ‘Fixer Upper’ Gets TV’s Biggest Promo Push

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 Nov. 26).

Promos for HGTV’s Fixer Upper racked up 222.2 million TV ad impressions, rising from No. 3 last time to top our chart this time. Notably, Fixer Upper scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (133) in our top 5, getting 33% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

Floribama Shore — a reality show in the spirit of Jersey Shore — debuts in our ranking at No. 2 with a special message from MTV: “Now say hello to the next shore thing.”

Fox, the only traditional broadcast network to make our top 5 this week, does so twice, taking the No. 3 spot with a plug for its new procedural drama about first responders, 9-1-1, and No. 4 for College Football.

Closing out our ranking: Investigation Investigation Discovery with Scott Peterson: An American Murder Mystery.
