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 19, 2014 (Posted 11.20.14)
CBS #1 on Wednesday but ABC’s ‘Modern Family’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network is on a run…a two day run on top of the broadcast network world. On Wednesday, at 8P, ‘Survivor’ got interesting last night as it led the time slot with 9.82 million viewers and a 5.9 rating/9 share in households. At 9P, ‘Criminal Minds’ won the last half hour with 10.61 million viewers and a 6.7/10 in the overnights. But it dropped by 12% from the 7.6/12 one year earlier. At 10P, ‘Stalker’ was in a dilemma. It was up week-to-week by 11% (5.0/ 9 vs. 4.5/ 8). But, it was 28% below the 6.9/12 for year-ago occupant ‘CSI’ despite finishing first in the hour in the overnights with 7.98 million viewers. The good: Black Rock won all of the time slots on Wednesday. The bad: It could have done better.
NBC
The Peacock Network finished second on Wednesday. At 8P ‘The Mysteries of Laura’ in another fun episode finished second in the time slot with 8.57 million viewers and a 5.8/9. And let’s give credit to this program as it has lifted a 16-year-old program in its wake at 9P. The fun of this program is the humor that runs throughout. While it is not Must See TV, it is certainly Gotta See TV. And at 9P, ‘Law & Order: SVU’ benefits from ‘Laura’ as it continued to enjoy renewed interest this season with 7.86 million viewers and a 5.3/8. It was up 18% from the year-ago evening. At 10P, ‘Chicago PD’ followed and nearly won the time slot with 7.22 million viewers and a 4.8/8. It did better than an edition of ‘Dateline’ on the year-ago evening (3.6/6 on 11/20/13) by 33%. It had a superb episode which showed just how good this show is. It was Must See TV ON DEMAND episode.
ABC
The Alphabet Network barely finished third on Wednesday. At 8P ‘The Middle’ drew 8.32 million viewers and a 5.8/9, which was equal to what it did a year ago. At 830P, ‘The Goldbergs’ dropped slightly with 7.70 million viewers and a 5.2/8. At 9P, the multi-Emmy Award winner ‘Modern Family’ drew the evenings top draw with 10.90 million viewers and a 7.5/12. AT 930P, ‘Black-ish’ drew 7.95 million viewers and a 5.5/9 which was 52% above the failed year-ago time period occupant ‘Super Fun Night’. At 10P, ‘Nashville’ finished third with 5.51 million viewers and a 4.1/7.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast wasn’t a player in the game on Wednesday. It simply did not have the guns to be in this battle. At 8P, ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ drew 3.94 million viewers and a 3.1/5. At 9P, the drama ‘Red Band Society’ finished with 2.95 million viewers and a 2.1/3. But this pair, on average, were down 38% compared with ‘The X Factor’ a year ago which delivered a 4.2/7. Now Murdoch Minions cannot blame it on Simon anymore. They just can’t deliver the audience.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t tried but failed. At 8P, ‘Arrow’ finished with million viewers and a 2.0/5. At 9P, ‘The 100’ finished with million viewers and a 1.2/3.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 on Wednesday with 9.47 million viewers and a 5.9/9. NBC finished #2 with 7.88 million viewers and a 5.2/8. ABC came in third with 7.65 million viewers and a 5.3/9. FOX finished with 3.45 million viewers and a 2.6/4. Univision finished with 3.05 million viewers and a 1.5/3. The CW finished with 2.14 million viewers and a 1.6/3. Telemundo finished with 1.4 million viewers and a 0.8/1.

At 9P, however, it was able to trounce 4 with ‘Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away’ and was seen by 1.04 million viewers (4.3%). At 10P, it was all up to ‘Wentworth’ to beat 4 but it could only manage a slight edge in its time slot with 496,000 viewers (2.8%), not enough to capture 4th place on the evening. For the night, Channel 5 averaged 779,000 viewers per hour.
