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 was #1 on Sunday but CBS’ ’60 Minutes’ was the #1 program.
NBC
The Peacock Network began the evening at 7P with a rerun of ‘Dateline’ and drew 6.905 million viewers. Then at 8P, coverage of ‘Sunday Night Football’ with a preseason game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Arizona Cardinals and drew 6.55 million viewers and a 4.8 rating and an 8 share in metered-market households. The top 10 local markets were: 1. Cincinnati, 20.3/31; 2. Phoenix, 15.2/27; 3. Dayton, 13.0/20; 4. New Orleans, 9.5/14; 5. Memphis, 7.4/10; 6. Greenville, 7.2/11; 7T. Jacksonville, 6.9/10; 7T. Richmond, 6.9/11; 9T. Kansas City, 6.6/11; 9T. Columbus, 6.6/11. NBC won on the strength of football.
CBS
The Tiffany Network may have seen how the Fall will look on Sunday nights as NFL football continues to be supreme, even in the preseason. At 7P, a rerun of the legendary ’60 Minutes’ drew 8.375 million viewers, which was the #1 program in its timeslot and #1 on broadcast networks on Sunday. At 7P ‘Big Brother’ drew 7.26 million viewers again winning its time slot, even against NFL football. At 9P, ‘Unforgettable’ drew 6.38 million, falling behind football into second place. And at 10P, the Achilles heal of the network on summer Sundays, ‘Reckless’ drew 4.04 million, dropping Black Rock into second place on the evening.
ABC
The Alphabet Network was up to its usual tricks on Sunday and could draw only half as much as either of its competitors, NBC or CBS. At 7P, ‘Wipeout’ drew 2.985 million viewers with is usual silly programming of silly folks doing silly things and always getting wet. Has anyone every completed a single run without falling in the water? At 8P, another episode of ‘Wipeout’ drew the same 2.985 million viewers proving once again that there are 2.985 million who are all wet. At 9P, ‘Rising Star’ drew 3.2 million viewers. Perhaps we are all sung out by this time of the year. And finally at 10P, a rerun of the brilliant ‘Castle’ was the network’s high water mark for the evening with 3.27 million viewers proving that this program can save the Disneyites from themselves on Sunday.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast does what the Animal Network of Broadcast always does on Sunday. It runs cartoons. At 7P, a rerun of ‘American Dad’ drew 3.82 million viewers and it did what every other program in the Sunday line up does…finishes last in their time slots. At 730P, a rerun of ‘The Simpsons’ drew 2.34 million viewers as it was in competition with itself on the FXX marathon of all 500+ episode of ‘The Simpsons’. At 8P, another rerun of ‘The Simpsons’ drew 2.50 million viewers making it one of the few programs to present 50 episode of itself in a single 24 hour period on television. At 830P, a rerun of ‘Bob’s Burgers’ drew 1.86 million viewers. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Family Guy’ drew 2.32 million viewers. At 930P, another rerun of ‘Bob’s Burgers’ drew 2.01 million viewers. And this was the network that critics were complaining that ‘Cosmos’ was not drawing enough? Bring back ‘Cosmos’. Perhaps the suits should consider running the lineup in French? Univision beat you by nearly a half a million viewers on Sunday.
For The Record
NBC finished #1 with 6.55 million viewers and a 4.2/7. CBS came in second with 6.51 and a 4.1/7 as they can blame it on ‘Reckless’. ABC finished third with 3.12 million viewers 2.0/3. Univision finished with 2.9 million viewers and a 1.4/2. FOX had 2.48 million viewers and a 1.53. Telemundo had 900,000 viewers and a 0.4/1

The State of Ecommerce in China in 2014
Online shopping in the country is ‘a lifestyle’
China’s booming ecommerce market is still gaining size and speed, even after several years of eye-popping growth, according to a new eMarketer report, “China Ecommerce: The State of the Market 2014.” Retail ecommerce sales will grow more than 60% this year, with healthy gains projected through 2018. The much anticipated initial public offering of ecommerce giant Alibaba has focused global attention on the Chinese market, but there are a wide variety of players building substantial businesses, including a growing group of specialty and niche retailers. Consumer-to-consumer (C2C) sales have played a major role in the developing market, but many observers expect business-to-consumer (B2C) channels to grow faster and ultimately surpass the C2C market.
A June 2014 survey by GroupM found that nearly three-quarters of digital buyers said they preferred shopping online to shopping in traditional retail outlets. China’s digital buyers are unusual in that they are more likely to buy clothing and accessories online than any other type of product. More than three-quarters of respondents in the China Internet Network Information Center’s (CNNIC’s) “2013 China Online Shopping Market” report said they had bought apparel online. This overwhelming preference for buying clothes online is a reflection of Taobao and Tmall’s dominance of the ecommerce marketplace, as well as the appetite of the consumer in China for social commerce, to which fashion is particularly well suited. Consumer packaged goods and consumer electronics are also very popular, with just under half of respondents having bought these products online, with the proportion falling to around a third for bags and personal care and beauty products.
Advertising Note
Research shows consumers choose brands that engage their passions 1.5x more than those that just urge them to buy.
