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 March 6.

NBC’s new reality dating show The Courtship is TV’s most-promoted show of the week, while the previous week’s chart-topper, ABC’s American Idol, drops out of the top five.

With the exception of Fox, which hypes the seventh season of The Masked Singer in fifth place, the balance of this week’s ranking is dominated by cable networks: Food Network, which cooks up excitement for the Easter-themed edition of Spring Baking Championship in second place; Fox News, which promotes its coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in third; and Hallmark Channel, which gives some love to the ninth season of When Calls the Heart in fourth.

Notably, the Fox News promo has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (130), 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).
