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 Wednesday, November 5, 2014 (Posted 11.06.14)
ABC #1 on Wednesday as ’48th Annual CMA Awards’ drew over 16 million viewers.
ABC
The Alphabet Network went country Wednesday and it worked. At 8P, ‘The 48th Annual CMA Awards’ hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood brought to America the annual three-hour extravaganza averaged 16.14 million viewers and a dominant 9.7 rating/15 share in households. This was equal to the year-ago telecast (on 11/06/13), and that translated into 16.76 million viewers. What’s up with Brad Pasley? ‘Blackish’/’White-ish’ … Yike-ish.
CBS
The Tiffany Network finished second on Wednesday. At 8P, ‘Survivor’ pulled in 9.19 million viewers and a 5.5/9. At 9P, ‘Criminal Minds’ upped the ante with 9.63 million viewers and a 6.4/10. Both shows were close to typical recent overnight levels, which remain down by minor percentages from the year-ago. AT 10P, ‘Stalker’, which recently was rewarded with a full season renewal, capped off the night with a second-place 7.28 million viewers and a 4.8/8, which was 24% below former time period occupant ‘CSI’ on the year-ago evening (6.3/11 on 11/06/13). Honestly, it is not working. Both leads are kryptonite on this network.
NBC
The Peacock Network had an unusual Wednesday. AT 8P, ‘The Mysteries of Laura’ finished with 7.76 million viewers and a 5.3/8. A fun episode that nailed a pyramid schemer was up 51% from year-ago (‘Revolution with a 3.5/6 on 11/06/13). At 9P, ‘Law & Order: SVU’ finished with 6.91 million viewers and a 5.0/8 and while being in its 16th season, it matched its top overnight ratings in four weeks in spite of the ‘CMA Awards’. At 10P, ‘Chicago PD’, with a tremendous episode about three of the guys going into prison to get the murderer of a 10-year-old girl was Must See TV ON DEMAND as it pulled in 6.09 million viewers and a 4.3/7. 30 Rock is the most improved network on Wednesday.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast flopped on Wednesday. At 8P, the suits of Murdochville are wishing they had T-shirt Simon back on Wednesdays as ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ pulled only 3.62 million viewers and a 2.9/5. That led into, at 9P, ‘Red Band Society’ which dropped to 2.87 million viewers and a 2.2/3. Both programs, on average, dropped by 27% in the overnights from the year-ago two-hour edition of former time period occupant ‘The X Factor’ (3.5/ 6 on 11/06/13). Bring back Simon. Bring back Simon. We dislike him less than Gordon.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t gave it a run on Wednesday. At 8P, ‘The Arrow’ pulled in 2.62 million viewers and a 2.1/3. But at 9P, ‘The 100’ could only pull in only 1.72 million viewers and a 1.1/2. This is not good. it only retained 52% of ‘The Arrow’s’ draw.
Late Night
ABC’s late night programming topped all the other networks on Wednesday. ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ finished with 2.8/8, even with NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon’ which also had a 2.8/8. CBS’ ‘David Letterman’ drew 2.2/6. At 1235A, ABC’s ‘Nightline’ won the time slot with 1.7/6 outdistancing NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ which pulled 1.4/5. CBS’ ‘Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson’ finished with a 1.1/4. At 135A, NBC’s ‘Last Call with Carson Daly’ drew an 0.8/4, all by itself with no opposing network competition.
For The Record
ABC finished #1 on Wednesday with 16.14 million viewers and a 9.7 rating and 15 share of the available audience. CBS finished second with 8.70 million viewers and a 5.6/9. NBC finished with 6.92 million viewers and a 4.9/8. FOX finished with 3.25 million viewers and a 2.5/4. Univision finished with 2.70 million viewers and a 1.5/2. The CW finished with 2.17 million viewers and a 1.6/2. Telemundo finished with an 0.8/1.
