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’.

ABC Upsets CBS on Friday but NBC’s ‘Dateline’ top program.
ABC
The Alphabet Network shocked CBS on Friday where The Tiffany Network usually dominates with ‘Hawaii Five-0’ and ‘Blue Bloods’ but instead took its eye off the prize by doing something no one has ever done before, and probably for good reason. In the meantime, Disneyland is laughing all the way to the bank. At 8P, ‘Last Man Standing’ pulled in 7.07 million viewers. At 730P, ‘Cristela’ pulled in 5.25 million. But at 9P, ‘Shark Tank’ jumped the shark with 7.58 millon viewers to jump into the lead for the evening. And at 10P, ’20/20′ pulled in 5.74 to not only take the time slot but put the brass ring on Walt’s hands. What a shocker!
NBC
The Peacock Network got a gift from The Eye during the November sweeps. While Tiffany was scheduling a program nobody watched, 30 Rock at 8P presented ‘Dateline’ and drew a time slot leading 7.97 million viewers, the top audience of any program on the night in as much as it had no competition and ‘Hawaii Five-0’ and ‘Blue Bloods’ were on vacation. At 9P, ‘Grimm’, which never beat any CBS program in its history, finished ahead of the program nobody watched on The Eye with 4.98 million viewers. Then at 10P, ‘Constantine’ pulled in 3.44 million viewers showing the world that here is a program that is really bad at drawing an audience.
CBS
The Tiffany Network is tarnished today. In a move that dumbfounds all, it proves that a program that has been around for over a decade or two was never on television because NOBODY CARES. From 8P-10P, something called ‘The Hollywood Film Awards’ presented something to what? Did you see those categories? Yet Les’ Lemmings Learned Lots. Never, ever schedule this program again unless it is held in the summer opposite the Fourth of July celebrations. But they had time to cancel ‘The Millers’. Why not, if you are throwing the evening away, run this program opposite the Super Bow? Or rerun ‘The Millers’ all night long. Good way to get rid of that extensive inventory. Oh, the Hollywood award something about nothing drew 4.14 million viewers. At 10P, the brilliance of scheduling on this night brought out a wonderful program that was buried by the horrible performance ahead of it, ‘CBS This Morning Post-Awards Show’ showed that it could not get any worse than this inspire of the talent, by drawing 2.69 million viewers, last in its time slot because neither FOX nor The CW was on the air with national programming. CBS finished third on Friday night. Unheard of.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast throws away Fridays. At 8P, a rerun of ‘MasterChef’ drew 1.77 million viewers. And at 9P, a rerun of this week’s ‘Gotham’ drew 1.77 million viewers. Really inventive, Murdoch Minions. Everyone now knows that the FOX Mendoza line is 1.77.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t absolutely didn’t. AT 8P, ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ drew 1.66 million viewers. At 830P, a rerun of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ drew 1.39 million viewers. At 9P, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ fell way below FOX’s Mendoza line with 1.19 million viewers. All of this proves is that The CW stands for ‘Cutting Watchers’ of television we suspect and establishes a new low water mark for Mendozas.
For The Record
ABC finished in a surprise #1 on Friday with 6.491 million viewers. NBC was all smiles finishing #2 on Friday with 5.465 million viewers. CBS died. It had 3.657 million viewers. Univision finished fourth with 2.609 million viewers. FOX finished with 2.068 million viewers. The CW finished dead last with 1.359 million viewers.
Today In TV History
On this date in 1985, the 200th episode of ‘Dallas’ aired on CBS.
Television Broadcast News
CBS cancels ‘The Millers’. This past Monday ratings showed ‘The Millers’ only delivered 6.48 million viewers. The addition of kryptonite Sean Hayes did nothing but hurt the show this season after only four episodes this season. One more episode will be produced and then production will be shut down. In it’s place, The Tiffany Network has two shows ready, the revival of ‘The Odd Couple’ with Matthew Perry and a new season of the greatest relief pitcher in the history of television, ‘Mike & Molly’, with the queen of comedy today, Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell.
