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 Friday, February 6, 2015 (Posted on February 7, 2015)
CBS #1 on Friday as ‘Blue Bloods’ was again the top program of the evening with more than 11 million viewers.
CBS
The Tiffany Network hand the programs on Friday as it always does to win the evening going away. At 8P, ‘Undercover Boss’ drew 7.74 million viewers to get the 30 Rock off to a winning start. At 9P, a remarkable episode of ‘Hawaii Five-0’ drove the network higher with 9.875 million viewers. This was a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode where the writers should be applauded for an exceptional mystery thriller. Who would have guessed? Then at 10P, the power of the night, ‘Blue Bloods’ with another top notched episode titled ‘Poor Door’ centering around a detective who drives a Ferrari brings ethics front and center for Frank’s chief assistant, while Danny goes through the ‘Poor Door’ and Jamie extracts the truth from a dying robber brought in 11.325 million viewers. The ‘Poor Door’ message is a real life issue in New York City as pointed out by the New York Post article above. “Poor Doors” are a result of a city program that permits developers to build bigger properties in exchange for providing on- or off-site affordable housing. Must See TV ON DEMAND episode.
ABC
The Alphabet Network finished second on Friday again. At 8P, ‘Last Man Standing’ got the network off to a good start with 7.22 million, good for #2 in the time slot. At 830P, ‘Cristela’ brought in only 5.52 million viewers, a significant drop from its lead in and a cause for the second position all night long. At 9P, ‘Shark Tank’ drew 7.625 million viewers for the top spot at Disneyville for the evening. Unfortunately, it finished nearly 2.2 million behind ‘Hawaii Five-0′, but it was good for second place. At 10P, ’20/20’ drew 5.425 million viewers, nearly 6 million viewers behind the powerful ‘Blue Bloods’. Second is only good in racing if you bet on ‘Place’ or horseshoes.
NBC
The Peacock Network finished third again on Friday. At 8P, ‘Constantine’ drew 2.94 million viewers, clearly out of the complete running for anything on Friday. At 9P, ‘Grimm’ drew 4.66 million viewers, after being renewed for another season and finishing as the top program on Sarnoff’s Slate on Friday. At 10P, ‘Dateline’ didn’t have a change as it only drew 4.49 million viewers and finishing third. One is staggered by the loss of words to describe the programming suits logic at Peacockville.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast perhaps should just tune out on Fridays. At 8P, ‘World’s Funniest Fails’ drew 2.66 million viewers with a title that is beyond description. At 9P, the dead ‘Glee’ drew 1.66 million viewers, finishing well below the Mendoza Line. There is little to recommend the suits who program Murdochville except perhaps look for another profession.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t didn’t so all can rest for another week to wait for ‘Arrow’. At 8P, ‘Hart of Dixie’ drew 1.23 million viewers. And that was the highlight. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ drew 870,000 viewers. Then at 930P, ‘Masters of Illusion’ drew 940,000 friends and family as none of the lineup topped the Mendoza Line. Outside of ABC, no network gives CBS a run for its money on Friday. Wonder what excuses the programming suits make to their bosses on Monday about their network’s poor performances, day after day, week after week and with some of these networks, months after months.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 again on Friday with 9.65 million viewers. ABC finished #2 with 6.47 million viewers. NBC finished #3 with 4.03 million viewers. FOX finished with 2.12 million viewers. The CW finished with 1.07 million viewers on Friday.

How To Attract Millennial Twitter Followers
Want to get millennials to follow you on Twitter? Offer a coupon. According to fall 2014 research by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research, US millennials were most likely to follow a brand or company on Twitter to get a coupon or discount, cited by 85%. Following brands to receive coupons and discounts was more common on Twitter than on Facebook or Pinterest.
Millennials were also interested in supporting brands they liked, a reason to follow for nearly 80%. Beyond discounts and loyalty, no other reason was cited by the majority of respondents, with receiving regular updates from brands the third most popular, called out by 47%.
Millennials who make purchases via Twitter aren’t shelling out too much. Nearly three-quarters of respondents spent $49 or less when buying something via Twitter, compared with 54% who said the same about Facebook. Twitter purchasers were also the most likely to spend less than $20 by at least 10 percentage points, and no respondents spent over $100 through the site.
Twitter’s audience is largely millennial, presenting a good social channel for those targeting this cohort. In September 2014, Pew Research Center found that 37% of US internet users ages 18 to 29 used Twitter, compared with 25% of 30- to 49-year-olds and around 10% of the 50-and-older group. Meanwhile, Cowen and Company found in November 2014 that US internet users spent 23.5 minutes each day with Twitter, compared with an average of 17.1 minutes for the entire adult population. In all, 18- to 29-year-olds accounted for 33% of Twitter users.
