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 October 23.

Hallmark Channel's new original movie We Wish You a Married Christmas — part of the network's "Countdown to Christmas" programming block — is No. 1. Last week's chart-topper, ABC's new drama Alaska Daily, takes second place.

Cable networks have the edge in the ranking, with Hallmark Channel joined by TBS, which gives some love to MLB Postseason 2022 in third place, and Paramount Network, which promotes the upcoming fifth season of Yellowstone in fourth.

Rounding out the ranking is CBS, which hypes new drama Fire Country in fifth.

Notably, Yellowstone scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (124) 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).
