These are the shows networks have been promoting most heavily to drive tune-in (our data covers the seven-day period through Nov. 17).

On the strength of 273.9 million TV ad impressions, ABC’s CMA Awards telecast is the most-promoted program in our ranking. The network also grabs third place to promote the American Music Awards.

CBS is the only other traditional broadcaster to land in our top five — at fourth place, for Evil — while HGTV promotes Love It or List It in second place and TLC hypes new reality series Unpolished in fifth.
