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’.

The Animal Network of Broadcast packed it in a caught an early flight out. At 8P, ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ drew 3.47 million viewers, beating NBC’s weak entry. At 9P, the ‘Red Band Society’ drew 2.49 million viewers.

The network has opted not to order a back nine episodes. All thirteen episodes of its original series order were filmed.
