B&C has partnered with iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing the top five 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 Oct. 9).
NBC, which topped our last two charts with its promos for time-travel drama Timeless, slips to No. 3, ceding first place to ABC with its Conviction promo; ABC also appears at No. 4 thanks to its big American Housewife push. Fellow Big Four nets CBS and Fox, which ranked last time with, respectively, Scorpion and Lethal Weapon, both cede their places in the top 5, making way for the National Geographic television film Killing Reagan and The CW’s Supergirl.
