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 the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through Nov. 1.
On the strength of 365.5 million TV ad impressions, a Fox News promo for its Election Day coverage is No. 1.
Traditional broadcast networks are entirely absent from our ranking, as Comedy Central promotes The Daily Show With Trevor Noah in second place, HGTV hypes Fixer to Fabulous in third, Food Network gives some love to Holiday Wars in fourth, and Discovery and its siblings (including, yes, HGTV and Food Network) get a general promo for their wide range of lifestyle programming (“Whatever you’re into, it’s on the Discovery family of networks”) in fifth.
Notably, the Comedy Central spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (115) in our ranking, 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).
