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 January 2.
An NBC promo for its new sitcom American Auto is No. 1. NBC is joined on the chart by fellow traditional broadcaster Fox, which promotes its new crime drama The Cleaning Lady in second place and 9-1-1: Lone Star, now in its third season, in third place.
A couple of cable networks round out the ranking: Hallmark Channel — which dominated the top five in December with multiple ads for its original Christmas movies — serves up a general network promo with the tagline “Where love happens” in fourth place. And Paramount Network hypes the season finale of Yellowstone (which aired on January 2) in fifth.
Notably, the 9-1-1: Lone Star spot has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (117), 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).
