B+C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing TV's most-promoted programming ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through October 16.

ABC's new drama Alaska Daily is No. 1 for a second week in a row.

ABC is joined by two fellow traditional broadcasters: CBS, which promotes new fall dramas Fire Country and East New York in third and fourth place, respectively; and NBC, which hypes returning drama La Brea in fifth.

Rounding out the ranking: TBS, which gives some love to its coverage of Major League Baseball’s postseason American League Division Series, in second place.

Notably, East New York scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (123), meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch its promos all the way through (vs. interrupting viewing by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
