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 July 10.
ABC’s new game show The Final Straw -- executive produced by Peyton Manning and hosted by Janelle James -- is No. 1. The network also takes third place for another new game show, Generation Gap (a revival of a 1969 game show, The Generation Gap, that also aired on ABC), and fifth for the 19th season of The Bachelorette (nicknamed The Bachelorettes because it has two leads this time).
Rounding out the ranking: CBS reality competition The Challenge: USA in second place and Food Network’s Me or the Menu in fourth.
Notably, The Challenge: USA scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (119), 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).
