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 Saturday, November 8, 2014 (Posted 11.09.14)
CBS Wins On Saturday With Alabama Victory Over LSU.
CBS
The Tiffany Network made it three in a row as it powered to another top network victory on Saturday. At 8P, it had the SEC thriller between the visiting Alabama Crimson Tide at the LSU encampment and in overtime, the Tide rolled to victory as it drew a nation’s top 8.41 million viewers. Perhaps it was not one of those so-called ‘instant classics’ but it certainly was a thrilling game.
ABC
The Alphabet Network could not replicate what its parent did on the Big Screen on this date (see below as ‘Big Hero 6’ was #1 at the box office) but at 8P, it had the big Ohio State at Michigan State game to decide the Big Ten East title and it drew 6.96 million viewers. It wasn’t even close to being a classic last the Boys from Columbus bashed the Spartans in East Lansing.
NBC
The Peacock Network was lucky FOX had the weakest conference. At 8P, a rerun of ‘The Mysteries of Laura’ proved that if you rerun an episode enough, you will actually get an accumulated eyeball count. It drew 2.5 million viewers. It’s a good program. But three times in a single week? At 9P, another rerun of the 16 year ‘Law & Order: SVU’ is like watching the USA Network. It drew 2.7 million viewers. Then at 10P, a rerun in prime time of an old ‘Saturday Night Live’ drew 3.0 million viewers.
FOX

The Animal Network of Broadcast had the Big Eight. Enough said. At 8P, in what was supposed to be one of the better matchups of the season, TCU visiting Kansas State, was a flop. TCU waxed KSU and drew only 2.18 million Kansans and TCUvilleites. No game. No conference. No viewers nationally.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 again with 8.41 million viewers. ABC finished second with 6.96 million viewers. NBC finished with 2.74 million viewers. FOX finished last with 2.18 million viewers.
For the Week, in review, CBS won on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in prime time overnight households. ESPN won on Monday. ABC win on Tuesday.
Today In TV History
