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’.

The Tiffany Network is making a determined effort to make it a once network country as it continues to win night-after-night. On this Saturday, it did so again as at 8P, a rerun of ‘CSI’ drew 4.61 million viewers in winning its time slot. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Stalker’ won its time slot with 4.14 million viewers. And at 10P, ’48 Hours’ made it a clean sweep by drawing an evening high of 5.16 million viewers.
NBC
The Peacock Network presented ‘when in doubt’ programming. At 8P, 30 Rock presented ‘The U.S. Figure Skating Championships’ and it drew 3.32 million viewers on average for the evening. ‘When in doubt’ of what to put on television…put on ice skating. It is the historically safe plug-in programming decision.
ABC
The Alphabet Network at 8P presented ‘Mirror/Mirror’ and it drew 2.92 million viewers to finished third in its time slot. But at 10P, a rerun of ’20/20′ pulled in 2.80 million viewers, finishing fourth in its time slot in a four-horse race.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast decided on fisticuffs. If you can’t win against the big boys, try a little demo hunting. At 8P, ‘UFC Fight Night Live’ pulled in 2.82 million viewers. It will undoubtedly win the A 18-49 demo rating.
For The Record
CBS was #1 again on Saturday with an average of 4.64 million viewers. NBC finished #2 with 3.32 million viewers. ABC finished #3 with 2.88 million viewers. FOX finished last with 2.82 million viewers.

Advertising Research Notes
2014 Most Memorial TV Ads For Millennials
Fast food and QSR ads performed well with Millennials (18-33) last year, says Nielsen in a review of the most memorable English-language ads among this demographic. Wendy’s spot, “Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger Be With You Song” emerged as the leader with a brand memorability index of 338, meaning that it was 3.38 times more likely to be remembered and associated with the right brand among Millennials than the typical ad. Nielsen also notes that food ads comprised 8 of the top 10 ads among African-American Millennials and 9 of the top 10 among Hispanic Millennials, though they didn’t have quite the same appeal among Asian-Americans of this age, who only placed 3 in their top 10. Overall, humorous ads and those that “touted an ownable campaign concept” appeared to be the most memorable. Among advertising categories, QSRs were second in ad spend through the first three-quarters of the year with $3.4 billion ad buys, though that trailed the automotive category ($8.4 billion) by a significant amount.
