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 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 (Posted 09.24.14)
CBS #1 on Tuesday with the world’s favorite drama, ‘NCIS’ tops again.
CBS
The Tiffany Network as expected, won the first Tuesday of the 2014-15 season in the household overnights, beating #2 NBC by 25%. That is a big margin of victory. At 8P, the world’s most watched drama, ‘NCIS’ began with a big episode of intrigue as Jethro was shot down near the Finnish border in Russia, and the escape to freedom began. And a new arc began based on an old arc. The 12th season-premiere of the Mark Harmon Naval procedural drew 18.00 million viewers and an 11.0 rating/18 share in households. That was 12% below the 12.5/20 on the year-ago evening (which translated into 20.02 million viewers). At 9P, the premiere of ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ with a dominant 17.10 million viewers and a 10.5/16, which was 7% above the year-ago season-opener of former time period occupant ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ (9.8/15 on 9/24/13). Comparably, retention for ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ out of the 830P portion of ‘NCIS’ (11.2/18) was a fantastic 94%. At 10P, the season opener of ‘Person Of Interest’, it too finished in first-place in its time slot with 10.70 million viewers and a 6.6/11, but that overnight household ratings were 16% below last year (that season opener pulled a 7.9/14 a year-ago). And for good reason: The new struggle with the enemy has taken on a twist which people do not like. The heroes are no longer the Robin Hoods they were in the beginning. Rather than being on top of the scale and helping those below, the good guys now are sandwiched between a superior upper force while they attempt to assist those in trouble. Too complex and everyone is losing contact with their main hero as he is lost among an ever-growing number of extras who need their air time. This program could be had this season if the writers and Executive Producers do not get back to basics.
NBC
The Peacock Network began the evening at 8P with two more hours of ‘The Voice’ which drew 13.00 million viewers and a 8.5/13 in the household overnights. The singing competition is still clearly resonating. And ‘The Voice’ led into the third season-premiere at 10P of ‘Chicago Fire’ with a second-place finished in its time slot with 9.4 million viewers and a 5.5/9, which year-to-year was right on target with its opening overnights (which translated into 8.90 million viewers and a 2.7/ 8 among adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data), last year.
ABC
The Alphabet Network at 8P had another Tuesday night live results show for ‘Dancing With the Stars’ as it drew a third-place time slot finished with 9.6 million viewers and a 7.0/11, which was 9% below the 7.7/12 in the overnights for the series-premiere of ‘Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD’ one year earlier. Next Tuesday, new ABC sitcoms ‘Selfie’ and ‘Manhattan Love Story’ debut in the 8P time slot. Next at 9P was the second season-premiere of ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and it was very disappointing with 5.6 million viewers and a 3.8/6. With a drop of 4 million viewers in a single hour, this was 29% below the series-premiere of sitcoms ‘The Goldbergs’ (6.0/ 9 on 9/24/13) and failed ‘Trophy Wife’ (4.7/ 7) on the year-ago evening in this hour. And it was 51% below its year-ago series launch. Its retention out of the 830P portion of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ (7.3/12) was only 52%. This was bad. This show is dead and the suits at Disney just don’t know it. And it is causing the potential of ‘Forever’ to be in doubt. At 10P, ‘Forever’ finished in third-place in its time slot with 6.50 million viewers and a 4.2/7. While it was actually 20% above the 930P portion of ‘Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD’ (3.5/5) and it was 35% above the debut of failed drama ‘Lucky 7’ a year-ago evening (3.1/5 on 9/24/13). This episode continued the journey of our hero and the fascinating relationship between he and his new favorite detective on the police force. Give this program a chance and a better coordinated leaden and Alphabet Soup might have a hit on its hand.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast has a disaster on its hands. The flop that led off the evening has to be put out to pasture. At 8P, ‘Utopia’ sunk to The CW standards of 1.9 million viewers and a 1.5/2, which was 21% below the already horrible 1.9/3 last week. It trailed year-ago comedies ‘Dads’ (2.8/ 5 on 9/24/13) and ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ (3.1/ 5) by 35%. Minus any lead-in support, at 9P, ‘New Girl’ could only pull 2.3 million viewers and a 2.0/3 and at 930P, ‘The Mindy Project’ could only muster 2.1 million viewers and a 1.7/3. Both comedies dropped from the year-ago evening (‘New Girl’ @ 3.1/5 down 35% and ‘The Mindy Project’ @ 2.4/4 down 29%. No one can really know if these two comedies are good or not given the absolutely ridiculous ‘Udopia’ lead in. For the Udopia Suits, get it right or get out. #Udopia.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t which isn’t being aggressive this week, began the night at 8P with a rerun of ‘Arrow’ which drew 700,000 viewers and a 0.6/1 and at 9P, a rerun of ‘Supernatural’ with 660,000 viewers and a 0.5/1. The suits here have sold their bosses that they couldn’t compete in the first week of the new TV season. The shocker is, it may not be able to compete once they unveil their new program schedule. But for the time being, they are safe as they do not have to hide under their desks.
Late Night
At 1135P, NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ drew 2.8/7; CBS’s ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ drew 2.6/7; and ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ had 1.9/5. At 1235A, NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ drew 1.3/5; ABC’s ‘Nightline’ had a 1.3/4; CBS’s ‘Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson’ finished with 1.2/5. At 135A, NBC’s ‘Carson Daly’ finished with 0.8/4.
For The Record
CBS was #1 on Tuesday for the third day in a row by drawing 15.25 million viewers and a 9.4 ratings and a 15 share of the available audience. NBC came in second with 11.81 million viewers and a 7.5/12. ABC finished third with 7.22 million viewers and a 5.0/8. Univision finished with 2.94 million viewers and a 1.6/3. FOX finished with 2.07 million viewers and a 1.7/3. TBS finished with 2.065 million viewers. Telemundo finished with 0.9/2. The CW finished with 676,000 viewers and a 0.6/1.

Mobile Ad Spending More than Doubles in Denmark
Mobile internet advertising in Denmark has seen phenomenal growth in recent times, and this looks set to continue. Advertisers in the country are expected to invest almost $270 million in paid media across mobile devices this year, up 150.0% from $107.7 million in 2013, according to the latest figures from eMarketer. Mobile ad spending will help drive digital ad growth throughout the forecast period and will account for 31.3% of total digital ad spending in Denmark this year, with this number expected to rise to 42.4% next year. By 2018, eMarketer estimates that mobile will claim almost 70% of all digital media spending in the country.
“Perhaps this is not surprising, given that an astounding 87.5% of Denmark’s population, or 4.9 million consumers, will be mobile phone users this year, eMarketer projects. Why all of this fuss over Denmark?
By 2017, Denmark will become the worldwide leader in terms of smartphone penetration, with 83.2% of the population, or 92.7% of mobile phone users, using a smartphone.
In the same year, eMarketer expects mobile to claim over 60% of all digital media ad spending in the country,” said Jasmine Enberg, Nordic researcher at eMarketer. eMarketer estimates that mobile will take a 12.5% share of total media ad spend in Denmark this year—the second-highest portion globally—with only the UK having a higher share at 13.4%. Next year, mobile ad spending will account for 17.9% of total media ad spend, which will place Denmark slightly behind its Nordic neighbor Norway, where eMarketer expects mobile to represent 18.2% of total ad investments that year.
eMarketer predicts that digital media ad spending in Denmark will reach $860 million in 2014 and account for 40.1% of total media ad spend, with this number increasing to 42.3% in 2015. This is ahead of the country’s neighbor Sweden, where digital is expected to take a share of 29.1% of total media ad spend this year and 30.6% next year.
