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’.

FOX #1 on Sunday as NFL overrun is top program.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast won Sunday because of the late afternoon NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. Their regularly schedule normal lineup was well below the top rung. At 7P, the overrun of the Cowboy’s victory over the Lions needed with 37.62 million viewers and a huge 27.8 rating and a massive 43 share of the available audience. AT 8P, an inflated ‘The Simpson’s’ drew 10.51 million viewers and a 6.8/10, well above its regular Sunday average. At 830P, the network came back to earth as ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ finished fourth with 6.02 million viewers and a 4.0/6, also an inflated number. At 9P ‘Family Guy’ drew 5.50 million viewers and a 3.7/5. Finally at 930P, ‘Bob’s Burgers’ finished with 3.95 million viewers and a 2.6/4.
CBS
The Tiffany Network ran its regular scheduled lineup on Sunday knowing it will have the big overrun next Sunday for the AFC pony matchup of Baltimore Colts at Denver Broncos. But on this Sunday at 7P, ’60 Minutes’ drew 7.52 million viewers and a 5.8/9, well below its average as football won the hour. At 8P, ‘Madam Secretary’ escaped to her anniversary date, sort of, with her husband in New York but the governor of Texas had a way of making that a mess as it drew 11.55 million viewers and a 7.7/11 to top the time slot. It is a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode. There is no doubt this is a powerful program that is a keeper for years in this time slot. At 9P, ‘The Good Wife’ finally settle the Partner going to jail problem as it drew 10.24 million viewers and a 7.0/10. It also was a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode and will also be a powerful unit of Sunday night at CBS. At 10P, in a powerful episode of ‘CSI’, the evil twin still is free but the girls are free as 8.48 million viewers watched with a 5.3/9.
NBC
The Peacock Network without NFL football is nothing on Sunday. At 7P, ‘Dateline’ simply didn’t have the guns to compete as it drew 6.24 million viewers and a 4.0/6. At 9P, ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ season premiere finished with 6.79 million viewers and a 4.7/7. Comparably, this was a 24% improvement over its most recent season-opener (3.8/6 on 3/03/13). But it still finished second in its time slot.
ABC
The Alphabet Network died on Sunday. At 7P, ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ could only draw 6.08 million viewers and a 3.6/5. At 8P, the long-awaited ‘Galavant’ premiered with 7.88 million viewers and a 4.4/6, with a swell upwards in the second half hour. At 9P, ‘Resurrection’ however, dove back into the depths with 4.10 million viewers and a 2.9/4. Then at 10P, ‘Revenge’ came up a bit to 3.94 million viewers and a 3.1/5. It was a bad night to be associated with Disney.
Univision
The #1 Hispanic Network in America began at 7P as ‘Aqui y Ahora’ drew 0.8 A18-49 rating. At 8P, ‘El Patrullero 777’ drew 0.9 A18-49 rating. At 9P, ‘El Patrullero 777’ kept its audience and drew 0.9 A18-49 rating. At 10P, ‘Sal y Pimienta’ drew an 0.7 A18-49 rating.
Telemundo
The Avis Hispanic Network began on Sunday at 7P with ‘Kung Fu Panda’ which drew a 0.4 A18-49 rating. At 8P, the end of ‘Kung Fu Panda’ and the beginning of the movie ‘Savages’ came up in the ratings with 0.6 A18-49 rating. At 9P, ‘Savages’ drew 0.5 A18-49 rating. At 10P, ‘Savages’ drew 0.6 A18-49 rating. It was a Uni night.
