Fox Again Gives the World Cup TV's Biggest Promo Push
And more from Promo Mojo, our exclusive weekly ranking of the programming networks are promoting most heavily
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 December 4.
Fox’s FIFA World Cup Qatar is No. 1 for the second week in a row.
The rest of the ranking is dominated by holiday movies: CBS promotes Fit for Christmas in second place, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries hypes The Holiday Stocking in third, Freeform celebrates its 25 Days of Christmas programming block in fourth, and Hallmark Channel gives some love to A Fabled Holiday in fifth.
Notably, Fit for Christmas scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (123) in the ranking, 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).
