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 May 1.
Discovery’s Naked and Afraid XL, which just entered its eighth season, takes first place, making it TV’s most-promoted show. Our previous chart-topper, Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition, drops to fourth place. Food Network also grabs fifth to promote Restaurant Impossible.
Rounding out the ranking is a single traditional broadcaster, ABC, that takes both second and third to hype, respectively, new unscripted true-crime series Who Do You Believe? and the fourth season of sports reality competition Holey Moley -- or Holey Moley Fore-Ever, as the network has dubbed the show in its latest incarnation, which features the Muppets as special guests.
Notably, the Worst Cooks promo has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (114), 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).
