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, October 10, 2014 (Posted 10.11.14)
CBS Again #1 on Friday. ‘Blue Bloods’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network began the evening at 8P with ‘Amazing Race’ with 5.97 million viewers and in second place in its time slot. But at 9P, ‘Hawaii Five-0’ increased the audience up over three million finishing at 9.17 million viewers. At 10P, the champion of Friday, ‘Blue Bloods’ had the top number of the evening with 10.83 million viewers, the only program to do so on the evening as Frank had a conflict with the Church as everyone in the family got involved with one family member or another during another great evening on the streets of New York.
ABC
The Alphabet Network jumped out of the gates in first place at 8P with ‘Last Man Standing’ as it pulled in 6.56 million viewers. And at 830P, the series premiere of ‘Cristela’ moved the needle up again with 6.57 million viewers. Then at 9P, ‘Shark Tank’ continued to climb the audience to 7.30 million viewers but slipped well behind CBS as ‘Hawaii Five-0′ sprinted ahead. At 10P, ’20/20′ got crushed as it finished with only 5.10 million, less than half as big as CBS’ ‘Blue Bloods’.
NBC
The Peacock Network still struggles on Friday. In what must be a money-saving move, it decided to rerun it lame new comedies, at 8P, ‘Bad Judge’ drew 3.58 million viewers and at 830P, another rerun of ‘A To Z’ drew 2.23 million. It appears as though this series has little if any future. At 9P, ‘Dateline’ came out and was buried with only 5.10 million viewers for the remaining two hours.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast has a problem. It may fall to fifth. At 8P, ‘Utopia’ drew 1.87 million viewers. This is not a program. This is an invitation for people to watch something else. At 9P, another rerun of their best program, ‘Gotham’ drew 1.53 million viewers.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t almost did. At 8P, ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ drew 1.54 million viewers as they laughed at how they almost beat FOX in the half hour. At 830P, a rerun of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ drew 1.50 million viewers. AT 9P, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ drew 1.04 million viewers. At least they had the courage to run 75% of their line-up as original programming.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 again on Friday with 8.66 million viewers. ABC finished second with 6.29 million viewers. NBC finished third with 4.37 million viewers. FOX finished with 1.71 million viewers. The CW finished with 1.28 million viewers.

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.
