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 Monday, December 8, 2014 (Posted 12.09.14)
ESPN was #1 on Monday as Green Bay beat Atlanta on Monday Night Football, the top program of the evening.
ESPN
With the Packers hot and the Falcons somehow in playoff contention, ‘Monday Night Football’ earned its best overnight in several weeks. The Green Bay defeat of Atlanta 43-37 on Monday Night Football drew 13.958 million viewers and a 9.0 overnight rating on ESPN. With Aaron Rodgers again completely dominant, the Atlanta comeback in the fourth quarter leading to another defeat was entertaining but inevitable. Rodgers became the highest rated quarterback with touchdowns in his first 100 games in the history of the NFL.
NBC
The Peacock Network finished ahead of the other broadcast networks as at 8P, ‘The Voice’ drew 10.64 million viewers and a 7.3/11. But, year-to-year, ‘The Voice’ dropped by 13% from the 8.4/13 on the year-ago evening. At 10P, ‘State of Affairs’ finished a dismal third with 6.27 million viewers and a 4.0 rating/6 share. It will not last as it will be continually compared to ‘The Blacklist’ which dominated this evening against the likes of ‘Castle’ and ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ in the Monday Battle @ 10P.
CBS
The Tiffany Network finished second. At 8P, ‘2 Broke Girls’ drew 7.74 million viewers and a 5.5/8. At 830P, ‘Mike & Molly’ pulled in 7.95 million viewers and a 5.4/8. At 9P, ‘Scorpion’ drew 9.91 million viewers and a 6.8/10. Capping off the night for Black Rock at 10P was ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ finishing in first-place in its time slot with 8.54 million viewers and a 5.6/9, which was 65% above failed year-ago occupant ‘Hostages’ (3.4/6 on 12/09/13).
ABC
The Alphabet Network led off the evening at 8P with ‘The Great Christmas Light Fight’ and drew 7.64 million viewers and a 4.5/7, which was 25% above the 3.6/6 for the year-ago telecast (from 9-11P). And that translated into 5.50 million viewers, based on the Live Plus Same Day data. Next at 10P was ‘Castle’ which on this night finished second in the time slot with 8.04 million viewers and a 4.9/8. ABC’s Monday lineup was preempted for local NFL coverage in Atlanta, Milwaukee and Green Bay. Ratings for ABC are likely to be inflated and will likely be adjusted in the final ratings.
Univision
The #1 Hispanic Network in America began the evening at 8P with a fifth place in the time slot for ‘Mi Corazon es Tuyo’ which drew a 1.3 A-18-49 rating. At 9P, placed fifth with ‘Hasta el Fin del Mundo’ with a 1.2 A18-49. At 10P, again a fifth place in the time slot with ‘La Malquerida’ with a 0.8 A18-49 rating.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast was rerun-city on Monday. At 8P, ‘Gotham’ finished with 2.16 million viewers and a 1.6/2. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Sleepy Hollow’ drew 1.60 million viewers and a 1.1/2. Looks like Murdoch’s Minions are going to mail in this holiday season with reruns. Can a broadcast network survive with this tactic?
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t didn’t. At 8P, ‘The Originals’ drew 1.41 million viewers and a 1.2/2. At 9P, ‘Jane the Virgin’ drew 1.24 million viewers and a 0.9/1.
For The Record

ABC finished with 7.772 million viewers and a 4.6/7. Univision finished with 2.794 million viewers and a 1.5/2. FOX finished with 1.879 million viewers and a 1.3/2.
