Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. From fourth quarter 2012 to fourth-quarter 2013, the hours consumers spent watching online video grew 30%. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, ‘It’s all about screens’.
Welcome to overtheshouldermedia. This is integrated marketing management.

NBC
The Peacock Network pulled off an amazing victory on Friday as it finally unseated CBS as the #1. With original programming, 30 Rock began the evening with ‘Dateline’ and it drew the top numbers of the evening with 7.01 million viewers. At 10P, the series debut of ‘Crossbones’ starring John Malkovich pulled in 4.89 million viewers. It wasn’t enough to trump ‘Blue Bloods’ but it was a solid beginning to a swashbuckling adventure tale about the most notorious pirate of his day, and perhaps in the history of the seas.
CBS
Again, the an all rerun lineup by the Tiffany Network for the zillionth day in a row, it finally fell out of first place. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Undercover Boss’ produced 3.48 million viewers. Then at 9P, with an exceptional rerun episode of ‘Hawaii Five-0’, the network pulled up the audience to 4.84 million viewers. And at 10P, another rerun of ‘Blue Bloods’ again won its time period with 6.07 million viewers.
ABC
The Alphabet Network began the evening at 8P with a rerun of ‘Shark Tank’ and pulled in a second place 4.32 million viewers. At 9P, an original episode of ‘What Would You Do?’ fell a bit to 4.16 million. But at 10P, an original episode of ’20/20′ pulled in the network high for the evening with 5.5 million viewers.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast could only wish for the number ‘Rake’ used to bring in before it was cancelled. At 8P, a rerun of ‘MasterChef’ pulled in a network high of 1.79 million veers. And at 9P, the incredibly bad, ‘I Wanna Marry Harry’ had 1.18 million family and friends tune into an original episode. This program is DOA. And so it seems was the leaderless network.
The CW
The Little Network That Could did not. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Who’s Line Is It Anyway?’ pulled in 1.29 million viewers. At 830P, another rerun of ‘Who’s Line?’ drew 1.49 million. Then at 9P, a rerun of ‘Hart of Dixie’ dropped to the bottom of the table with 490,000 viewers.
Late Night
A rerun of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ drew 2.3/6; A rerun of CBS’s ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ pulled in a 1.8/4; and a rerun of ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ did 2.0/5. ABC’s ‘Nightline’ averaged a 1.3/4 at 1235A. A rerun of NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ did a 1.1/3 as it beat a rerun of CBS’s ‘Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson’ which pulled a 1.0/3. At 135A, a rerun of NBC’s ‘Last Call with Carson Daly’ averaged a 0.7/3.
For The Record
NBC was #1 with 6.431 million viewers. CBS was #2 on Friday with 4.796 million viewers. ABC was #3 with 4.680 million viewers. FOX finished with 2.001 million viewers. And, The CW had 924,000 viewers on average on Friday evening in prime time.
Today In TV History
In a national day of rejoicing, on this day in 1990, the show about nothing began as the first episode of ‘Seinfeld’ aired on NBC. Jerry was excited that a woman he met on the road is coming to visit him in New York. However, he has a tough time discerning whether her intentions are romantic or platonic.

Television Research
More Than One-Quarter of Recorded TV Content Said Never Watched
An estimated 28% of recorded TV is never watched, according to a survey of 10,500 respondents aged 16 and older from 19 countries – each of whom was required to have TV service with a capable device and access to an internet connection. Younger consumers were the most likely to discard recorded programs, with respondents aged 16-34 deleting about one-third of recorded content. Within the US, respondents estimated deleting 27% of recorded content – down from 41% in last year’s survey provided by the Arris Consumer Entertainment Index.
