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 27, 2014 (Posted 10.28.14)
ESPN #1 on Monday as ‘Monday Night Football’ took charge as the Washington eleven beat Dallas.
ESPN
The Disney Sports Channel brought out all of the mouse ears on Monday as it presented ‘Monday Night Football’. It was an overtime win for the Washington eleven last night and it was a big win for ESPN and the NFL. The D.C. team’s 20-17 dramatic upset over the Dallas Cowboys scored ‘Monday Night Football’ its best overnight rating since December 27, 2010. The 18.809 million viewers with a 12.1 metered market rating matches the result of the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons in that post-Christmas game nearly 4 years ago. Last night’s game on ESPN also was the best ‘MNF’ result since the Cowboys and the DC Gang faced off on October 25, 2010. The top 10 markets for last night’s game were Washington, D.C. (17.8), Dallas (14.0), Richmond (24.7), San Antonio (24.5), Norfolk (20.2), Austin (19.3), Las Vegas (18.9), New Orleans (18.0), Baltimore (16.9), San Diego (16.7), Albuquerque (16.1) and Houston (15.9).
ABC
The Alphabet Network along with its Disney sports kissing cousin, ESPN, won big on Monday. At 8P, ‘Dancing With the Stars’ finished with 12.62 million viewers and an 8.8/13, which was down 4% from one year earlier. And at 10P, ‘Castle’ in one of its crazier episodes finished with 8.75 million viewers and a 5.9/10, which was down by 13%. Most of this can be attributed to the finish of ‘Monday Night Football’ and the exciting finish at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. ‘Castle’ is always Must See TV ON DEMAND. Its battle with ‘The Blacklist’ and ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ is one of the best in the history of television. It is important to note
NBC
The Peacock Network pulled off a strong Monday. At 8P, ‘The Voice’ was strong with 12.48 million viewers and a 8.2/12. But at 10P, ‘The Blacklist’ was second only to football. It drew 9.57 million viewers and a 6.4/10 in one of the best episodes as Peter Fonda made a very interesting star turn. It was Must See TV ON DEMAND, as are all of the other 10P Monday programs.
CBS
The Tiffany Network, without the power lead-in of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ fell hard on Monday, down 14% from last week. At 8P, ‘2 Broke Girls’ returned to CBS with a fourth-place 8.43 million viewers and a 5.7/9, which was 44% below the 10.2/16 in the household overnights for ‘The Big Bang Theory’ one week earlier. At 830P, ‘The Millers’, now with Sean Hayes on the program, was still third, drawing 6.94 million viewers and a 4.5/7, down 25% from its week-ago sophomore season-opener (6.0/9 on Oct. 20). Hayes is one lucky actor after escaping one of the worst shows of the year, last year. At 9P, ‘Scorpion’ drew 10.39 million viewers and a 7.0 rating/10 share, again making the 10+ million viewers club. At 10P, the biggest boost of the year on Mondays is ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ as it drew 8.68 million viewers and a 5.8/9. One year earlier, ‘Hostages’, in this same time slot only drew a 3.3/5 on 10/28/13. This episode was a Must See TV ON DEMAND as the boys went into Mexico to try and bring back a rogue DOD operative.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast had a disappointing Monday. But at 8P, it has one of the best new programs of the year as ‘Gotham’ had an exceptional episode about an old cold case and Jim getting in trouble with his supposed killing of the ‘Penguin’. And if there is a better show for character actors, show us. Carol Kane as Gertrude Kapelput and Robin Lory Taylor as Oswald ‘Penguin’ Cobblepot are in rarefied air and in this Must See TV ON DEMAND episode drew 5.89 million viewers and a 4.3/6. At 9P, ‘Sleepy Hollow’ pulled in 4.62 million viewers and a 3.0/4. Despite the lower numbers, this is a remarkable combination of original programming that could build over time with its core audience.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t, didn’t. AT 8P, ‘The Originals’ drew 1.31 million viewers and a 1.1/2, which was 8% below year-ago occupant ‘Hart of Dixie’ (1.2/ 2 on 10/28/13). At 9P, ‘Jane the Virgin’ unfortunately, lost steam, with 1.09 million viewers and a 0.9/1 in the household overnights. Comparably, that was down by 10% from the 1.0/2 one week earlier. However, it was still 12% above year-ago time period occupant ‘Beauty and the Beast’ (0.8/ 1 on 10/28/13). And the overnight retention for ‘Jane’ out of the 830P portion of relocated lead-in ‘The Originals’ (1.0/ 1) was 90%.
For The Record
ESPN was #1 on Monday with 12.539 million viewers and a 12.1 rating. ABC topped all broadcast networks with 12.030 million viewers and a 7.9/12 on Monday. Together, the top Disney cable network and the top Disney Broadcast network pulled in an average of 24.569 million viewers. NBC finished fourth with 11.336 million viewers and a 7.6/11.
