NBC's Magnum P.I. again tops the Promo Mojo ranker for the week ended February 26, making it TV's most promoted show for a second week in a row. NBC picked up the series for a fifth season after CBS canceled it last year.
Once again, traditional broadcast networks dominate, with NBC joined by ABC, which promotes new drama The Company You Keep in second place, and CBS, with True Lies — an adaptation of the 1994 James Cameron movie — in third place, as well as the 44th season of Survivor in fourth.
Rounding out the ranking are TruTV and TBS with the new season of Impractical Jokers in fifth.
Notably, True Lies scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (124) 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).
