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 Tuesday, December 9, 2014 (Posted 12.10.14)
CBS #1 on Tuesday. ‘The Voice’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network had the most famous reindeer of all and Gibbs. At 8P, the classic ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ and it drew 10.67 million viewers and a 5.9 rating/9 share. At 9P, the rerun of the season opener of ‘NCIS’ powered through again as it drew 10.22 million viewers and a 6.5/10. It is a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode. At 10P, the annual ‘The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’ topped its time slot with 9.12 million viewers and a 5.8/10. If it’s Tuesday, its CBS!
NBC
The Peacock Network had the semi finals at 8P of ‘The Voice’ and it drew 10.87 million viewers and a 7.3/11. At 9P, ‘Marry Me dropped like a rock against ‘NCIS’ and finished with 4.86 million viewers and a 3.3/5. At 930P, ‘About a Boy’ pulled in 3.73 million viewers and a 2.7/4. At 10P, NBC News special, ‘Angelina Jolie: Unbroken’ drew 4.75 million viewers and a 3.3/6. Outside of ‘The Voice’, it was a bust for 30 Rock.
ABC
The Alphabet Network was once again in the middle of the road. At 8P, the animated special ‘Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town’ drew 4.18 million viewers and a 2.8/4. It was uphill from this point as at 9P, ‘Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD’ increased viewership with 5.22 million viewers and a 3.5/5. But at 10P, Disneyville had something to cheer about as the freshman drama ‘Forever’ drew 5.14 million viewers and a 3.7/6 in a sensational episode in one of the darkest ‘Merry Christmas’ messages ever. This is Must See TV ON DEMAND. Just fantastic. The ending song will ring in your ears for a long time. It brings new meaning to ‘Have yourself a very Merry Christmas now’.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast could have finished in the basement of American broadcast television. At 8P, ‘MasterChef Junior’ drew 4.88 million viewers and a 3.5/5. Then at 9P, ‘New Girl’ drew 3.29 million viewers and a 2.4/4 and at 930P, ‘The Mindy Project’ drew 2.56 million viewers and a 1.9/3. What a mess. The rubric’s cube guy on YouTube drew more than any of the FOX lineup (4 million views). Maybe Murdoch’s Minions should consider having him on their schedule to improve their viewer levels.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t almost did. At 8P, ‘The Flash’ drew 4.53 million viewers and a 3.1/5, which managed to increase by 3% from the cross-over with ‘Arrow’ last week. At 9P, ‘Supernatural’ drew 2.81 million viewers and a 1.7/3 as it beat ‘The Mindy’ on FOX.

58% of Mobile Shoppers Prefer Phones Over Salespeople. And that’s only the beginning of the latest mobile information. The majority of consumers who shop with their smartphones would rather get information on the devices than from a salesperson, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. The study found that 62% value the product information found on their smartphones more than sales literature or in-store displays. The survey found that more than a third (36%) of the online general population use their mobile device while shopping in a store. Of those who turn to their mobile device for additional product information while in a store, searching the internet is at the top of the list. Here’s what they do:
69% — Conduct a general internet search
52% — Visit a store-specific website
47% — Use a store-specific app
46% — Visit a manufacturer-specific website
A Harris poll last year also found that the majority (59%) of smartphone-armed showroomers prefer looking up product information on their phone to asking salespeople for help. Retailers who don’t cater to in-store mobile shoppers through their phones may find themselves totally left out of the final decision process during a shopping trip. (Source: Chuck Martin, MediaPost)
