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’.

NBC with ‘America’s Got Talent’ finished #1 on Tuesday.
NBC
The Peackcok Network did little to elevate the ‘taste level’ in America on this evening of television as at 8P the series premier of ‘Food Fighters’ brought in 4.55 million viewers. At 9P, the big show of the network in the summer, ‘America’s Got Talent’, staying away from ‘NCIS’ began its two hours with 10.34 million viewers, tops for the evening on all television.
CBS
The Tiffany Network began the evening, at 8P, like it always does with the world’ most watched television drama, a rerun of ‘NCIS’ as it drew 8.59 million viewers. At 9P, a rerun of ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ brought in 6.51 million viewers. At 10P, a rerun of ‘Person of Interest’ pulled in 5.0 million viewers.
ABC
The Alphabet Network began at 8P with ‘Extreme Weight Loss’ and for two hours it managed to average 3.41 million viewers. At 10P, ‘Celebrity Wife Swap’ with Tyler Christopher and Ronn Moss, pulled in 2.70 million viewers. The real question the suits at the Disney Broadcast Network is, ‘How low do you want to go until you become just pablum’?
FOX
No one is entirely sure of what the suits at the Animal Network of Broadcasting are doing on Tuesday evenings. At 8P, they brought part of the Animation Domination of old back as a rerun of ‘Family Guy’ drew 1.88 million viewers. At 830P, a rerun of ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ drew 1.20 million viewers. At 9P, another rerun of ‘The Mindy Project’ desperately tried to gain an audience but it could only draw 970,000 viewers. And at 930P, a rerun of ‘The Mindy Project’ pulled in 970,000 viewers. Maybe if Murdoch does buy Warner Bros. there will be reruns of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ to boost FOX’s ratings.
The CW
Speaking of the Little Network That Couldn’t, at 8P, a rerun of ‘Arrow’ drew 850,000 viewers. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Supernatural’ drew 660,000 viewers. What else can be said? As shown in yesterday’s edition, this pretend network finished somewhere below the Mendoza Line in audience. The format which was forged so many years ago, simply does not work…especially in the summer.
Late Night
Will be posted when available.
For The Record
NBC came in #1 with 8.408 million viewers and a 4.9/9 on Monday evening. CBS came in second with 6.70 million viewers and a 4.5/8 with an all-rerun lineup. The battle for third was a distant fight as ABC came in with 3.169 million viewers and a 2.1/4 and Univision with 2.983 million viewers and a 1.6/3. The balance of the dismal effort saw FOX attempt to draw 1.251 million viewers on average and a 0.8/1 tying Telemundo which pulled in an 0.8/1 and The CW which actually finished with 755,000 viewers and a 0.5/1 on average for the evening in prime time.
Today In TV History
On this date in 1950, fans of Melody Ranch were back in the saddle again as ‘The Gene Autry Show’ premiered on CBS-TV. With his sidekick, Pat, and the wonder horse, Champion, the action and songs were fast and furious. For six years he was America’s favorite cowboy.
