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 Wednesday, February 4, 2015 (Posted on February 5, 2015)
FOX finished #1 on Wednesday as ‘Empire’ was top program.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast has two bona-fide hits on Wednesday. At 8P, ‘American Idol’ finished with 10.95 million viewers and a 7.9 rating/12 share. This gave ‘Empire’ a superb launching pad as it finished #1 for the night with 11.47 million viewers and an 8.0/12. This was ‘Empire’s’ fourth consecutive week of growth. The two shows are made for each other. It is a great job by the suits at Murdochville.
CBS
The Tiffany Network finished second but quite a bit behind FOX. At 8P, ‘The Mentalist’ finished with 8.93 million viewers and a 5.8/9 good for second place in the time slot. At 9P, ‘Criminal Minds’ drew 10.33 million viewers and a 6.4/10, the top program on Black Rock. But at 10P, the network lost it all in the battle as ‘Stalker’ finished with 7.34 million viewers and a 4.8/8. This program will wreck the network if not removed.
ABC
The Alphabet Network finished third on Wednesday. At 8P, ‘The Middle’ finished with 8.24 million viewers and a 5.5/9. At 830P, a new program, ‘Fresh Off The Boat’ drew 7.93 million viewers and a 5.5/8. At 9P, the top Alphabet Network program, ‘Modern Family’ drew 9.86 million viewers and a 6.8/10.

NBC
The Peacock Network had a build-up night. At 8P, ‘The Mysteries of Laura’ drew 6.30 million viewers and a 4.0/6. But at 9P, ‘Law & Order:SVU’ continued with 6.21 million viewers and a 4.3/7. At 10P, the top program on the network, ‘Chicago PD’ pulled in 7.51 million viewers and a 5.1/8, leaping over CBS’ ‘Stalker’ for first place. This is a huge boost for local NBC affiliates as it draws directly into their local newscasts.
