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 Thursday, October 9, 2014 (Posted 10.10.14)
CBS #1 at ‘Thursday Night Football’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network continues to make an incredible run during this week. On Thursday, it again was the #1 network and after a bad start, the football game between the Indianapolis Colts at the Houston Texans was a thriller down to the last-minute as it begs the question: can a defensive player be the MVP of the league? Is there anyone as dominant as J.J. Watt? On Wisconsin. At 8P, ‘Football Kick-Off Show’ drew a second-place 8.93 million viewers and a 5.2/9. At 830P, ‘Thursday Night Football’ kept Black Rock in the winner’s circle with an estimated 11.91 million viewers and a 9.2 rating/16 share in the household overnights. Comparably, this was 8% above the 8.5/14 in the overnights for Minnesota versus Green Bay last week, and that translated into 16.54 million viewers (based on the Live + Same Day data and including results on the NFLN). Victory=CBS.
ABC
The Alphabet Network put up a strong showing on Thursday and will be a force to contend with once October 30th rolls around and CBS no longer carries the ‘Thursday Night Football’ game. At 8P, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ drew 8.41 million viewers and a 6.6/11, which increased by 83% from failed year-ago occupant ‘Once Upon a Time in Wonderland’ (3.6/ 6 on 10/10/13). At 9P, ‘Scandal’ drew 9.50 million viewers and a 7.4/12. At 10P, ‘How to Get Away With Murder’ drew 10.71 million viewers and a 7.9/13, which earned the additional two episodes ordered for the season. Three-week overnight track for ‘How to Get Away With Murder’: 9.7/16; 8.7/15 and 7.9/13.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast, after a disastrous Tuesday and a bad Wednesday, it finished in its strongest position of the week. At 8P, the relocated ‘Bones’ drew 6.28 million viewers and a 4.2/7. Then at 9P, the limited crime solver ‘Gracepoint’ dropped to a distant fourth-place with 3.91 million viewers and a 2.5/4, which was 17% below the already poor 3.0/ 5 from one week earlier. That translated into just 4.76 million (based on the Live + Same Day data). Start running, Murdoch Minions.
NBC
The Peacock Network got its feathers clipped on Thursday. At 8P, ‘The Biggest Loser’ drew 4.61 million viewers and a 3.0/5. While it is a noticeable loss from its performance on Tuesday last season, it was still 43% above the year-ago combination of ‘Parks and Recreation’ and short-lived ‘Welcome to the Family’ (which outlived its welcome after three episodes). At 9P, ‘Bad Judge’ drew 5.20 million viewers and a 3.7/6, which was 16% below the 4.4/7 last Thursday (which came in at 5.84 million viewers). It was 61% above from failed year-ago occupant ‘Sean Saves the World’ (2.3/4 on 10/10/13). At 930P, ‘A To Z’, in contrast, slipped by a more than 32% with 3.64 million viewers and a 2.5/4. This was 24% below its already poor 3.3/5 debut. It was also equal to failed year-ago occupant ‘The Michael J. Fox Show’. And few shows were as bad as that. At 10P, ‘Parenthood’ finished a distant third-place with 4.26 million viewers and a 2.9/5, which was equal to one week earlier and 16% above lead-in ‘A To Z’.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t, tried. At 8P, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ dropped to 1.65 million viewers and a 1.5/2, which was 17% below the 1.8/3 on the year-ago evening. And at 9P, the second season of ‘Reign’ followed with 1.22 million viewers and a 1.0/2, which was only equal to an encore of ‘The Originals’ on the year-ago evening.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 on Thursday with 11.41 million viewers and a 8.4/14. ABC finished second with 9.51 million viewers and a 7.3/12. FOX finished with 5.09 million viewers and a 3.4/5. NBC finished with 4.43 million viewers and a 3.0/5. Univision finished with 2.56 million viewers and a 1.4/2. The CW finished with 1.39 million viewers and a 1.2/2.

Which Types Of Product Offers Will Consumers Share On Social Media
Social media users are more likely to respond to product offers shared by friends and family in their networks than to offers included in sponsored posts and social display ads, finds Yesmail in newly-released survey results. While that’s not an entirely surprising result given the generally greater influence of earned than paid media, the study also details the types of deals that are most likely to be shared. Asked the types of offers they’re most likely to share with friends, respondents ranked the following among their top-3:
Restaurants (58%);
Entertainment (42%);
Electronics (31%);
Clothing and accessories (31%); and
Travel and hospitality (24%).
Of consequence, additionally, percent-off deals (36%) are more likely to be shared than money-off (26%) or buy-one-get-one-free (17%) deals.
Overall, some 34% of active social media users have shared a product offer with their social networks, with Facebook easily the most popular channel, used by 94% of offer-sharers. (By comparison, just 15% shared on Twitter and 10% on Pinterest.)
Incentives such as additional savings or loyalty points could spur greater offer sharing, as 40% said they’d be more likely to share deals if incentivized, and 28% of those who have not shared in the past reported being more likely to start sharing if incentivized.
Earlier this year, a study from ShareThis and the Paley Center for Media found that shared online content (via email or social networking) could have almost the same degree of influence as in-person recommendations.
