B&C has partnered with attention and conversion analytics company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: Exclusive data showing the top 5 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 Jan. 21).
Fox grabs the top spot on our chart with promos for its new medical drama The Resident, which racked up 529.7 million TV ad impression over 7 days — topping the half-billion mark, a first for this ranking.
The Resident moved up from fourth place to displace our previous No. 1 — the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics — which shifts to No. 3. Meanwhile, last week’s No. 3, TNT’s The Alienist, moves up a spot to second place. The Alienist also scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (118) in our ranking, getting 18% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
Two new entrants close out our ranking: American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace (FX) and the 2018 Grammys (CBS).
