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 January 1.
Paramount Network’s Yellowstone is No. 1. (The hit drama’s midseason finale aired on January 1.)
The rest of the ranking is mostly made up of reality competitions: Fox hypes its celebrity-focused Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test in second place, NBC promotes the new “All-Stars” version of America’s Got Talent in fourth, and MTV gives some love to RuPaul’s Drag Race in fifth as the show makes its move from VH1.
Rounding out the list is a new drama from ABC: police procedural series Will Trent, in third place.
Notably, Yellowstone scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (112) in the ranking, 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).
