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 the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through Sept. 13.
On the strength of 206.9 million TV ad impressions, a promo for ABC’s Dancing With the Stars is No. 1, shifting our previous chart-topper, which promotes the “Discovery family of networks” — including Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, OWN and ID — into second place.
Cable network Fox News promotes its presidential election coverage in third place, while broadcaster Fox hypes its NFL games in fourth. Rounding out the ranking: CBS gives some love to the 55th Academy of Country Music Awards telecast.
Notably, the Dancing With the Stars spot has the highest iSpot Completion Rate (98.74) in our ranking, meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
