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 Sept. 11.

Fox’s Monarch -- a new musical drama series starring Susan Sarandon and Trace Adkins -- is No. 1 for the second week in a row. Fox also grabs third place to promote the second season of crime drama The Cleaning Lady.

For the first time in months, traditional broadcasters crowd out cable networks to sweep the chart, with Fox joined by NBC, which takes three places: second for its Quantum Leap revival, fourth for NFL and fifth for the Primetime Emmy Awards, which aired on Monday.

Notably, Quantum Leap scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (124), 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).
