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 17, 2014 (Posted 10.18.14)
CBS #1 on Friday as ‘Blue Bloods’ was once again #1 program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network made it four days in a row as the #1 network on television in America. At 8P, ‘Amazing Race’ drew 6.61 million viewers. At 9P, ‘Hawaii Five-0’ in a tremendous episode which ended with Dano killing the murderer of his brother, drew 9.14 million viewers. And at 10P, the kind of Friday, ‘Blue Bloods’ followed the hectic journey of Frank’s son which drew 10.42 million viewers for the top performance on Friday.
ABC
The Alphabet Network began at 8P with ‘Last Man Standing’ and it drew a time slot leading 6.71 million viewers. At 830P, ‘Cristela’ drew 5.97 million viewers. At 9P, ‘Shark Tank’ drew 7.27 million viewers for the network’s top performance of the night. At 10P, ’20/20′ fell badly drawing less than 5 million viewers, with 4.68 million viewers tuning in.
NBC
The Peacock Network at 8P presented a rerun of the pilot of ‘Marry Me’ which drew 3.03 million viewers. At 830P, a rerun of ‘About A Boy’ drew 2.65 million viewers. Then at 9P, ‘Dateline’ delivered 5.72 million viewers. But there was absolutely nothing blending these programs together. It seems that the suits at Peacockville just feel ‘Dateline’ can stand on its own without any help. Time to rethink Friday’s lead-ins.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast began the evening at 8P with ‘Utopia’ which drew only 1.88 family and friends. At 9P, nothing could overcome that disappointing start but the Murdoch Minions put a rerun of ‘Gotham’ in the slot and drew 1.44 million viewers.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t tried. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Jane The Virgin’ brought in 1.27 million viewers. Then at 9P, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ drew 1.06 million viewers. Wow! Perhaps ‘Penn & Teller’ should come back to bring up the audience levels here.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 on Friday with 8.720 million viewers. ABC finished with 6.097 million viewers. NBC finished third with 4.761 million viewers. Univision finished fourth with 2.686 million viewers. FOX finished with 1.659 million viewers. The CW finished with 1.164 million viewers
