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’.

For Friday, September 12, 2014 (Posted 09.13.14)
CBS and ‘Blue Bloods’ #1 on Friday.
CBS
The Tiffany Network finished first on Friday, as it always does and will probably continue throughout 2014-15. At 8P, ’48 Hours’ delivered a second place finish with 4.33 million viewers, only 180,000 viewers behind first place. Then at 9P, the Horses of Tiffany, a rerun of ‘Hawaii Five-0’ brought in a 4.87 million viewers and then at 10P, the Warhorse of Tiffany, a rerun of ‘Blue Bloods’ pulled in the top program audience level of the evening, with 6.04 million viewers.
NBC
The Peacock Network had an interesting evening. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Running Wild with Bear Grylls’ placed third with 2.99 million viewers. But at 9P, the warhorse of their Friday night schedule, a rerun of ‘Dateline’ drew 5.44 million viewers for two hours. Note: these figures may be inflated as MLB San Francisco Giants vs Los Angeles Dodgers were telecast on the NBC affiliate in the San Francisco DMA.
ABC
The Alphabet Network at 8P began with a rerun of ‘Last Man Standing’ and drew a respectable and time slot leading 4.51 million viewers. At 830P, another rerun of ‘Last Man Standing’ pulled in 4.37 million viewers. The power of Tim. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Shark Tank’ drew 4.87 million viewers. At 10P, ’20/20′ got squashed by the boys in blue and finished with 3.75 million viewers.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast began with ‘Utopia’ with 1.89 million viewers and it could never recover after this disaster of a program. This was not a rerun. This was an original episode of one of the biggest mistakes the Minions of Murdoch has ever made. It is the ‘Extant’ multiplied by the force of -2. At 9P, ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ could do anything about it as the audience was already leaving in droves as it finished the evening with 1.80 million viewers.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t almost did. At 8P, ‘Masters of Illusion’ drew 1.47 million viewers, just 520,000 viewers less than ‘Utopia’. At 830P, a rerun of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ pulled in 1.1 million viewers. But at 9P, a rerun of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ could only draw 800,000 viewers. From the hope of illusion to the land of reruns, the suits of the CBS/Warner Bros. little network failed.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 on Friday with 5.08 million viewers. NBC came in second with 4.437 million viewers. ABC finished third with 4.03 million viewers. FOX drew 1.89 million viewers. The CW finished with 1.04 million viewers.
