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. This is the programming the networks have been promoting most heavily to drive tune-in (our data covers the seven-day period through July 5).

On the strength of 254.2 million TV ad impressions, a promo for Nickelodeon’s Kids, Race and Unity: A Nick News Special is No. 1.

Our ranking is once again dominated by cable networks, with Nick joined by HGTV, which hypes Renovation Island; Fox News, which serves up an “America Is Watching”-themed promo spot with its on-air talent encouraging viewers to wear masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19; and MTV, which gives some love to reality show Siesta Key. Traditional broadcaster CBS is the exception to the cable rule with its promo for new competition series Tough as Nails

Notably, the Nick spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (135) in our ranking, getting 35% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
