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 22, 2014 (Posted 11.23.14)
CBS Wins On Saturday. ’48 Hours’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network went with its power and that is ‘NCIS’ to win against football and everything else on Saturday in prime time. At 8P, ‘NCIS’ the world’s most watched television drama drew with a rerun 4.08 million viewers. At 9P, in the conclusion of the crossover arc, ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ pulled in 4.77 million viewers. Then at 10P, the hammer that is ’48 Hours’, 6.2 million viewers blew away everything to take home the victory on Saturday.
ABC
The Alphabet Network had one of the great football rivalries. At 8P, ‘UCLA dominated and beat their cross-town rival, USC’ and drew 3.59 million viewers live from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. UCLA, now the winner of the Southern Division will play Oregon, the winner of the Northern Division in the Pac 12 Championship.
NBC
The Peacock Network brought out its top gun on Saturday as at 8P, ‘Dateline’ pulled in 4.40 million viewers, tops in the time slot. Then at 9P, a rerun of the premier of ‘State of Affairs’ didn’t do so well as it could only pull in 3.10 million and dropped the network into third place. At 10P, a rerun of an old ‘Saturday Night Live’ in prime time did even worse, drawing 2.9 million viewers.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast just had the wrong conference. At 8P, ‘College Football’ had the unfortunate prospect of having Oklahoma State vs Baylor. It could only draw 2.25 million viewers. They would be better off rerunning ‘Gotham’ or ‘MasterChef Jr’ episodes. Or, look for another conference to cover. With ABC/ESPN bringing the nation Big Ten/Pac 12 games; NBC bringing Notre Dame; and CBS having SEC, perhaps FOX should look at the ACC rather than the Big 8.
For The Record
CBS won on Saturday with 5.02 million viewers. ABC finished #2 with 3.59 million viewers. NBC finished third just 10,000 viewers behind with 3.49 million viewers. FOX finished with 2.25 million viewers.
Today In TV History
On this date in 1958, the radio drama ‘Have Gun Will Travel’ debuted. The show began after the airing of the TV show on CBS. The television show, starring Richard Boone, ran from 1957 through 1963. It was one of the few television series that spawned a radio series. There were 225 episodes of the TV series, 24 written by legendary syfy genius Gene Roddenberry. The list of directors was stunning. Andrew McLaglen directed 101 episodes and 19 were directed by series star Richard Boone. Among other directors, Sam Peckinpah, Ida Lapino and William Conrad. You can view this great series on Encore-Western channel. The title was a catchphrase used in personal advertisements in newspapers like The Times, indicating that the advertiser was ready for anything. This series follows the adventures of a man calling himself “Paladin,” a gentleman gunfighter (played by Richard Boone on television and voiced by John Dehner on radio). It was rated number three or number four in the Nielsen ratings every year of its first four seasons.
