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 Thursday, January 29, 2015 (Posted on January 30, 2015)
ABC #1 on Thursday but ‘The Big Bang Theory’ top program with 17 million viewers.
CBS
The Tiffany Network had the top program on the night and finished first. At 8P, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ finished #1 with 17.0 million viewers and a 10.5/17. At 830P, ‘Mom’ finished #1 in its time slot with 11.84 million viewers and a 7.0/11. But at 9P, ‘Two and a Half Man’ drew a very respectable 9.7 million viewers and a 6.1/9. At 930P, ‘The McCarthys’ fell badly by drawing only 7.13 million viewers and a 4.2/7. At 10P, ‘Elementary’ drew 7.64 million viewers. The addition of another female cast member in this program has destroyed the potential chemistry between the two stars and frankly the writers never have been able to establish a good platform for Lucy Leu. Big time tragic mistakes doomed a very good program.
ABC
The Alphabet Network finished #2 on Thursday by a hair. At 8P, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ drew 8.60 million viewers and a 6.4 rating/10 share. At 9P, ‘Scandal’ finished first in its time slot with 10.4 million viewers and a 7.7/12.

FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast, got off to a good start and sputtered. AT 8P, ‘American Idol’ finished with 9.24 million viewers and a 6.6/11. But at 9P, detective dramedy ‘Backstrom’, starring Rainn Wilson, took a tumble and a fourth-place finish with 5.30 million viewers and a 3.4/6. Comparably, this was 35% below its debut one week earlier where it earned a 5.2/8 (which translated into 7.98 million viewers, based on the Live + Same Day data). The cancelled year-ago occupant ‘Rake’ did better at a 3.6/ 6 on the same year-ago evening.
NBC
The Peacock Network on Thursday, a night it once dominated, died. At 8P, ‘The Biggest Loser’ finale ended with only 5.30 million viewers and a 3.5/6. At 10P, in the series-finale, NBC drama ‘Parenthood’ concluded its five and-one half season (and 103 episodes) finished with a season-high 5.50 million viewers and a modest 3.8/7 in the household overnights.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t didn’t on Thursday. At 8P, ‘The Vampire Diaries’, finished with 1.45 million viewers and a 1.4/2, a drop of 18% year-to-year. At 9P, ‘Reign’ just did not cut it with 1.04 million viewers and a 0.9/1. It will not be renewed for next year.
