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 April 24.
Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition is No. 1, making it TV’s most-promoted show. (Our previous chart-topper, AMC’s Better Call Saul, drops out of the top five.)
HGTV dominates the rest of the list, grabbing second place to kickstart Home Town spin-off Home Town Kickstart, third place to build excitement for the third season of Celebrity IOU, and fifth place to sell the third season of Unsellable Houses.
The sole traditional broadcaster on our list is ABC, which promotes The Rookie — specifically, a special two-episode story arc of the show that amounts to a “backdoor pilot” of a potential new series starring Niecy Nash — in fourth place.
Notably, The Rookie promo has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (123), 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).
