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 15, 2014 (Posted 11.16.14)
ABC
The Alphabet Network won for the second straight night on Saturday during the November Sweeps. At 8P, ‘Florida State defeating Miami’ in the ACC rivalry battle in the Sunshine State pulled in 7.55 million viewers. It followed the Wisconsin destruction of the Nebraska, 59-24, allowing the Badgers to move into first place in the Big Ten Western Division.
CBS
The tarnished Tiffany Network finished second on Saturday. Art 8P, ’48 Hours’ led off the evening with 3.80 million viewers. Then at 9P, a rerun of ‘Criminal Minds’ drew 3.48 million viewers. At 10P, another edition of ’48 Hours’ drew an evening high on the network of 5.59 million viewers. Why wouldn’t the powers that be have the Alabama vs Mississippi State game moved into prime time? After all, they pay that conference enough.
NBC
The Peacock Network had one of the best football games of the day in Northwestern’s amazing overtime victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South bend, for the first NU victory in South Bend since 1995, the last time the Wildcast won the Big Ten and went to the Rose Bowl. But that was all BEFORE prime time. At 8P, ‘Dateline’ pulled in 4.35 million viewers. Then at 10P, a prime time rerun of old ‘Saturday Night Live’ programming drew, as you would expect, drew only 3.03 million viewers, the lowest total on the network this evening.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast took it on the chin again. If you have football, the rule is not to show the old Southwest Conference games. But today, it’s called the Big Eight, minus Missouri; minus Texas A&M; minus Arkansas of the old SW Conference. I digress. At 8P, ‘Texas vs Oklahoma State’ drew so little that no one cared about it outside of Austin or Boone Pickens house as it drew 2.04 million family, friends and alumni as it took the honors of the ‘Who Cares It’s On Bowl’, not to be confused with the ‘Who Cares It’s The Capitol One Bowl’. Murdoch’s Minions really know how to pick a winner.
For The Record
ABC won the evening as it pulled in 7.550 million viewers. CBS finished second with 4.289 million viewers. NBC finished third with million viewers. FOX finished with 2.04 million viewers in the ‘Who Cares It’s On Bowl’.
