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 June 5.

The 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards and 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted — which MTV promoted in tandem — are the week’s most promoted shows.

Food Network makes a hearty showing, grabbing second place for the 15th season of The Great Food Truck Race and fourth place for new Guy Fieri vehicle Guy’s All-American Road Trip

Meanwhile, two traditional broadcasters also make the cut, with NBC plugging the 17th season of America’s Got Talent in third place, and ABC hyping the 2022 NBA Finals in fifth.

Notably, Guy’s All-American Road Trip scores the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (111), 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).
