With scripted series in short supply at the end of summer and during the writers' and actors' strikes, NBC's Today tops the Promo Mojo ranker for the week ended Aug. 20, making it TV's most promoted show.
ABC came in second with its morning news program Good Morning America. Good Morning America has been beating Today in both viewers and the key adults 25-54 demographic for the prior five weeks, but Today retook the adults 25-54 ratings crown in the week ended August 20.
Food Network came in third and fourth with Battle of the Decades Bobby's Triple Threat, respectively, while TLC rounded out the list with Sister Wives in fifth.
Notably, Sister Wives has the highest iSpot Attention Index (106) 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.
