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’.

CBS #1 on Sunday as New England defeats Indianapolis in AFC Championship.
CBS
The Tiffany Network had the AFC Championship and despite a lopsided game which saw New England blow away Indianapolis, it all but eliminated the competition. At 7P, ‘NFL AFC Championship Game’ drew 37.32 million viewers and a 25.1 rating/38 share in the household overnights. The peak half-hour was at 8P with a 27.4/32. At 1030P, ‘Scorpion’ drew 10.71 million viewers and a 11.0/18. A good episode was wasted by a blowout game which saw the leading at 10P deliver only 17.99 million viewers for the Post Game programming.
ABC
The Alphabet Network decided to air all first run programming against the overwhelming favorite of the AFC conference championship and it got buried. At 7P, ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ opened with 4.79 million viewers and a 2.9/5, the top draw of the evening on Disneybroadcasttv. It was followed at 8P by ‘Galavant’ which drew 3.38 million viewers and a 2.2/3). At 9P, ‘Resurrection’ drew 3.22 million viewers and a 2.5/4). Finally at 10P, ‘Revenge’ pulled in 4.01 million viewers and a 3.0/5. The suits at Walt’s World must be thinking in ‘long term’ view. It didn’t work.
NBC
The Peacock Network decided on another approach. At 7P, a rerun of ‘Dateline’ drew 4.23 million viewers and a 2.8/5. At 8P, it ran the 2011 movie ‘Bridesmaids’ and it drew 3.32 million viewers and a 2.1/3. The suits at 30 Rock decided on a ‘throwback’ approach to a blockbuster opposite them. It didn’t work.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast tried another approach…one new and the rest reruns. AT 7P, the sitcom ‘Mulaney’ aired a fresh episode and it drew 4.34 million viewers and a 3.0/5. At 730P, a rerun of ‘The Simpsons’ drew 2.62 million viewers and a 1.9/3. At 8P, another rerun of ‘The Simpson’s’ drew 3.09 million viewers and a 2.0/3. At 830P, a rerun of ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ drew 2.27 million viewers and a 1.6/2. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Family Guy’ drew 2.51 million viewers and a 1.7/2. Finally at 930P, another rerun of ‘Bob’s Burgers’ pulled in 2.37 million viewers and a 1.8/2.
NOTE: The NFC Championship game on FOX featuring the Seattle Seahawks vs the Green Bay Packers averaged 49.8 million viewers to rank as the most-watched program since Super Bowl XLVIII. It peaked at 60.5 million average viewers as the game went into overtime. It was not listed as the top program because this post is dedicated to Prime Time (on Sunday that is 7P-11P ET).
For The Record
CBS overwhelmed everyone else on Sunday with 31.579 million viewers and a 21.6 rating and a 33 share of the available audience. ABC finished second with 3.847 million viewers and a 2.6/4. NBC finished with 3.550 million viewers and a 2.2/3. FOX finished with 2.866 million viewers and a 1.9/3. Univision finished with 2.784 million viewers.
