King Charles — a new CNN primetime weekly series hosted by Gayle King and Charles Barkley — tops the Promo Mojo ranker for the week ended December 3, making it TV's most promoted show.
CNN is joined in the top five by two fellow cable networks: Hallmark Channel, which hails original movie A Not So Royal Christmas in third place, and Freeform, which promotes its 25 Days of Christmas programming event in fourth.
Rounding out the ranking are ABC's two reality hits: Dancing With the Stars in second and The Golden Bachelor in fifth.
Notably, King Charles has the highest iSpot Attention Index (119) 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).
Brief by Promax has partnered with Broadcasting & Cable and iSpot.tv on weekly chart Promo Mojo, offering data revealing the week's most-promoted programming ranked by TV ad impressions.
