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 Monday, October 6, 2014 (Posted 10.07.14)
ESPN #1 on Monday. CBS’ ‘The Big Bang Theory’ #1 program.
ESPN
Monday evening was decided at 10P. And the finish in that hour determined the fate of all of the networks on this night on broadcast. Of course, ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Football’ with the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks edging out a victory over the Washington 11 or as we call them ‘The Skins’, won the evening. The game drew 13.122 million viewers with an 8.2 household US rating. It peaked from 915P with a 9.2 rating and 14,678,000 viewers. However, it was not the top rated program as CBS’ ‘The Big Bang Theory’ was the top rated program on Monday.
NBC
The Peacock Network edged out Black Rock because of the 10P program. At 8P, ‘The Voice’ drove in million viewers and an 8.4/13. It was down 6% (versus an 8.9/13). At 10P, ‘The Blacklist’ drew million viewers and a 6.6/11 to win the evening, which was 10% below the 7.3/12 on the year-ago evening.
CBS
The Tiffany Network is certainly the most improved on Monday evenings. At 8P, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ topped the ratings on Monday on Broadcast with 15.540 million viewers and a 10.3 rating/16 share . It was followed at 830P by an encore of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ which drew 11.87 million viewers and a 7.5/11. At 9P, ‘Scorpion’ pulled in 11.82 million viewers and a 8.0/12 which was still 60%, on average, above year-ago sitcom occupants ‘2 Broke Girls’ (5.1/ 8 on 10/07/13) and ‘Mom’ (4.9/ 7). At 10P, the relocated ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ scored a third-place 8.60 million viewers and a 5.8/ 9, which is a 53% improvement over failed year-ago ‘Hostages’ (3.8/ 6 on 10/07/13). Facing both ‘The Blacklist’ and ‘Castle’ is no easy feat.
ABC
The Alphabet Network threw its biggest guns at Monday and came in third. At 8P, ‘Dancing With the Stars’ drove in 12.15 million viewers and an 8.5/13, down 7% (versus a 9.1/14 on 10/07/13) and finished third. Yet at 10P, it was ‘Castle’s’ strength that nearly won the night for the Disney Network of Broadcast as it drew 9.65 million viewers and a 6.3/10 finishing second by only 400,000 viewers.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcasting began to settle in on this third week of the new season as at 8P, ‘Gotham’ drew 6.28 million viewers and a 4.6/7 which dropped the audience by another 13%. The three-week overnight track: 5.7/9; 5.3/8 and now 4.6/7. This was only equal to ‘Bones’ on the year-ago evening, the considerable early gains via the DVR and the social media presence still makes ‘Gotham’ a definite winner. At 9P ‘Sleepy Hollow’ drew 4.46 million viewers and a 3.1/5. Comparably, this was down 38% from the year-ago evening (5.0/8 on 10/07/13). But ‘Sleepy Hollow’ like ‘Gotham’ is a large option via the DVR and ON DEMAND, which is one its more important assets.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t just couldn’t on Monday. At 8P, ‘The Originals’ opened with only 1.35 million viewers and a 1.0/1, which dropped from its year-ago series-opener (1.7/3 on Thursday 10/03/13) by 41%. This was 10% below the season-premiere of former time period occupant ‘Hart of Dixie’ on the year-ago evening (1.1/2 on 10/07/13) which was a dud. At 9P, a behind-the-scenes look at the first nine seasons of ‘Supernatural’ (subtitled “A Very Special Supernatural Special”) drew 1.07 million viewers and a 0.8/1. Season No. 10 of ‘Supernatural’ kicks-off this evening at 9P out of the launch of ‘The Flash’.
Late Night
At 1135P, NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ finished with 3.1/8; CBS’s ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ had a 2.1/5; and ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ brought in a 1.9/5. At 1235A, NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ finished with a 1.5/5 in metered-market households); ABC’s ‘Nightline’ had a 1.2/4. CBS’s ‘Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson’ rerun drew 1.1/4. At 135A, NBC’s ‘Carson Daly’ drew a 0.9/4.
