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.

For Tuesday, December 30, 2014 (Posted 12.31.14)
CBS #1 on Monday as ‘NCIS’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network had the kind of night that makes it Tiffany. Beginning with the #1 drama in the world and ending the evening with style and class, a tribute to the ‘Arts’ is the identity created by William Paley, the founder. At 8P, a rerun of ‘NCIS’ won the evening with the second part of the pilot introducing ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ and it drove 10.20 million viewers to La Palina land. At 9P, ‘Kennedy Center Honors’ wowed the world with 9.20 million viewers nearly triple of anything else on the schedule as Lily Tomlin, Tom Hanks and Sting were honored. Special appearances by Jane Fonda, Lady Gaga, members of the New York City Ballet and Bruno Mars brought the house down. This is why CBS, through regular programming and special programming, is #1 in the world of American broadcast television.
NBC
The Peacock Network was in a battle for second all night, well behind the leader. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Chicago Fire’ drew 3.20 million viewers and finished third. AT 9P, another rerun of ‘Chicago Fire’ drew 3.70 million viewers and jumped up to a distant second. Finally at 10P, 30 Rock cemented its weak second place with yet another rerun of ‘Chicago Fire’ by drawing 3.70 million viewers.
ABC
The Alphabet Network battled for the second spot with its freshman drama, ‘Forever’. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Forever’ jumped into second with 3.46 million viewers. At 9P, it remained consistent with another rerun of ‘Forever’ and drew 3.46 million viewers, not losing any viewership. At 10P, yet a third rerun of ‘Forever’ drove in 3.42 million viewers to complete the evening. Not bad for an ambitious program with a wonderful cast and great story telling. Bravo to ‘Forever’, one of the best new programs of the year.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast battled to finished out of the basement. At 8P, a rerun of ‘New Girl’ brought in 1.94 million viewers, slightly ahead of The CW’s entry. At 830P, a rerun of ‘The Mindy Project’ drew 1.57 million viewers, falling into last place. At 9P, a rerun of ‘New Girl’ brought the network back up with 1.55 million viewers. And at 930P, another rerun of ‘The Mindy Project’ dropped to 1.41 million friends and family. But it was enough to escape the basement.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t tried but failed once again. At 8P, a rerun of ‘The Flash’ finished with 1.84 million viewers. But at 9P, a rerun of ‘Supernatural’ fell to 1.27 million friends and family.
