B+C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv for a weekly ranking called Promo Mojo: Exclusive data showing TV’s most-promoted programming ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through January 22.

NBC’s Night Court revival is No. 1 for the second week in a row.

Cable networks are entirely shut out, with the Big Four traditional broadcast networks sweeping the top five. NBC is joined by Fox, which promotes new crime drama Accused in second place; ABC, which gives some love to the 27th season of reality TV mainstay The Bachelor in third, along with new police procedural Will Trent in fifth; and CBS, which hypes the 2023 Grammys (set to air live on Sunday, Feb. 5) in fourth place.
