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’.

CBS & ’49 Hours’ #1 on Saturday.
Saturday, 05.31.14 (Posted 06.01.14)
CBS
On a strange Saturday, CBS came out #1 with nearly all of their programming reruns. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Mike & Molly’ brought in 2.47 million viewers and won it’s time slot. At 830P, another rerun of ‘Mike & Molly’ pulled in 2.71 million viewers, and again won the time slot. At 9P, an excellent rerun episode of ‘The Mentalist”’ drew 3.02 million viewers. Finally, at 10P, ’48 Hours’ finished the evening for the Tiffany Network with 5.02 million viewers, again, winning its time slot.
NBC
The Peacock Network began the evening at 8P with ‘Mariah Carey: At Home in Concert with Matt Lauer’ and nobody cared. It drew 1.98 million viewers. At 9P, ‘Dateline’ finished with 3.69 million viewers, as the network’s top viewership of the evening. At 10P, a rerun of the new ‘The Night Shift’ drew 2.3 million viewers.
ABC
The Alphabet Network was up to its old Pop Culture tricks and it didn’t fare so well. At 8P, ‘Bet on Your Baby’ in the season premiere died with 2.22 million viewers. Sure, it beat Mariah Carey, but who couldn’t. At 9P, the series two-hour premiere of ‘Sing Your Face Off’, lived up to its name and drew 2.63 million viewers up against reruns and for half the nation, no regularly scheduled programming. Keep singing.

The Animal Network of Broadcast at 8P had ‘Major League Baseball’ featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Dodger won 12-2. The game was over early, after the fourth inning, as Hanley Ramírez homered twice on the night as it drew 1.73 million viewers as the Pacific and Mountain time zones were left with virtually no programming for the better part of the evening. FOX…everything does not exist on the East Coast.
Late Night
A rerun telecast of ‘Saturday Night Live’ with host Charlize Theron and musical guest The Black Keys, averaged a 2.6 rating and a 7 share of the available audience on Saturday evening on NBC.

Today In TV History
On this date in 1966, the world became a little sadder. The final episode of the legendary program, ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ aired. It won 15 Emmy Awards in its 158 episode run. CBS had intended to cancel the show after its first season, but Procter & Gamble threatened to pull its advertising from “the network’s extremely lucrative daytime lineup” and the show was renewed, keeping its Wednesday night-time slot. After going into summer reruns, the show jumped into the top 10 by the third episode of its second season. For the final scene, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vauRqaz1eWc
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.
Digital/Mobile News
While the fourth season of ‘Sherlock’ is still in limbo, season three will stream exclusively on Netflix starting Monday. The service will also stream three half-hour behind-the-scenes specials titled ‘Sherlock Uncovered’ following each episode.
