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 Sunday, October 12, 2014 (Posted 10.13.14)
NBC #1 on Sunday. ‘Sunday Night Football’ was the top program.
NBC
The Peacock Network brought out NFL Football and it won Sunday evening. At 7P, ‘Football Night in America’ drew 4.52 million viewers and a 1.4/2. At 730P, ‘Football Night In America’ drew 6.85 million viewers and a 3.3/5. At 8P, the final half hour of ‘Football Night in America’ drew 13.55 million viewers and an 8.2/13. Then at 830P, ‘Sunday Night Football’ featuring the New York Giants lost big time to the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-0, but it led 30 Rock to another Sunday overnight victory, with an estimated 16.57 million viewers and a 11.3 rating/18 share in households (peaking in the 9P half-hour with a 12.9/19). Comparably, this was 5% below the 12.8/20 for the Cincinnati Bengals at the New England Patriots one week earlier, which translated into 19.39 million viewers, based on the Live + Same Day data. With two of the largest market teams, this is quite a drop as it was the Giants first shutout in 18 years. Is it due to just another blowout or the public’s disfavor with the NFL and their handling of the adult and child abuse cases which seem to many as being handled in a fashion of a ‘cover up’? Perhaps it is just bad match ups.
CBS
The Tiffany Network with its new lineup finished a strong second on Sunday. At 7P, ’60 Minutes’ drew 9.73 million viewers and a 7.8/13. At 8P, the newest hit of the season, ‘Madam Secretary’ actually increased the audience level by drawing 11.45 million viewers and a 8.3/12, which was 46% above year-ago occupant ‘The Amazing Race’ (5.7/9 on 10/13/13). This show is absolutely Must See TV ON DEMAND. at 9P, ‘The Good Wife drew 10.32 million viewers and a 7.7/11, thanks to ‘Madam Secretary’. It is up 22% (vs he 65.3/10 on 10/13/13). But some credit goes to the writers who had an exceptional episode on Sunday as our girl is not running for State’s Attorney. At 10P, the relocated ‘CSI’ drew 8.85 million viewers and a 5.9/10.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast shocked the world and finished third on Sunday. The most surprised? Disneyites. It received a huge boost from football (Cowboys defeating the Seahawks) at 7P with a primetime overrun at an estimated 24.47 million viewers and a 18.1/30. At 730P, the overrun earned 15.71 million viewers and a 15.1/25. In the 730P half hour, post-game ‘The OT’ drew a 9.9/16. Next at 8P was the granddaddy of the network, ‘The Simpsons’ drew 7.34 million viewers and a 4.7/7, which was 62% above the 2.9/4 one week earlier. At 830P, it was followed by repositioned ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ with 4.52 million viewers and a 2.9/4. Next at 9P, for some reason, the suits ran a rerun of ‘Family Guy’ which drew 3.44 million viewers and a 2.3/3. At 930P, ‘Mulaney’ drew 2.19 million viewers and a 1.5/2. It was down 12% from last week. Question: how can a new show improve its ratings without a strong lead in? The Murdoch Minions continue to baffle.
ABC
The Alphabet Network unexpectedly died on Sunday. For one of the first time in years, if finished last. At 7P, the 25th season of ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’, featuring host Tom Bergeron in his final season, opened far behind with 5.49 million viewers and a 3.1/5. Comparably, that was 7% above the 2.9/5 on the year-ago evening. Next at 8P, ‘Once Upon a Time’ drew 7.73 million viewers and a 4.6/7. At 9P, ‘Resurrection’ drew 5.47 million viewers and a 3.6/5. At 10P, ‘Revenge’ drew 4.59 million viewers and a 3.7/6, which was actually up 61%from failed drama ‘Betrayal’ on the year-ago evening (2.3/4 on 10/13/13).
For The Record
NBC finished first with 13.468 million viewers and a 9.0/14. CBS finished with 10.086 million viewers and a 7.4/12. FOX finished with 9.613 million viewers and a 7.2/11. ABC drew 5.820 million viewers and a 3.7/6. Univision drew 2.255 million viewers and a 1.2/2. Telemundo finished with 700,000 viewers and a 0.3/1.

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.
