Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. 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 Monday, March 9, 2015 (Posted on March 10, 2015)
NBC #1 on Monday with ‘The Voice’ top program with over 13.5 million viewers.
NBC
The Peacock Network won on Monday in a battle of the ‘haves’ against the ‘have nots’. NBC, CBS and ABC were the ‘haves’. At 8P, ‘The Voice’ drew an average of 13.950 million viewers as it took the top spot for the evening. It finished over three million in front of their closest competitor at 9P. It was the most watched ‘The Voice’ since March 4, 2014.At 10P, ‘Night shift drew an average of 5.450 million viewers. But the real story of the night was the power of ‘The Voice’.
CBS
The Tiffany Network couldn’t quite pull it off as it had noting to compete against the power of ‘The Voice’. At 8P, ‘2 Broke Girls’ with an average of 8.250 million viewers finished third in its time slot, a whopping 5.2 million behind NBC. At 830P, ‘Mike & Molly’ stepped it up a bit to an average of 8.80 million viewers, but was still well behind. Then at 9P, ‘Scorpion’ drew an average of 10.590 million viewers with an interesting episode of a secret summit with Eastern European leaders. Yet the entire plot simply didn’t ring true except the terrific performance of the least expected member of the team as she baffled even the State Department with her knowledge. At 10P, ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ with an interesting episode drew an average of 10.720 million viewers to win the time slot. This was ‘NCIS: LA’s’ largest audience since Jan. 5 and its second largest of the season. It was Monday’s most watched scripted program.
ABC
The Alphabet Network had an all bachelor evening on the network that Walt built. At 8P, ‘The Bachelor’ drew an average of 9.680 million viewers as once again a relationship that was built for television will once again be a passing fancy for those who devote their TV time viewing this. At 10P, ‘The Bachelor: After the Final Rose’ followed with an average of 9.680 million viewers. Neither were good enough to beat the regular line ups of either NBC or CBS.
Univision
The #1 Hispanic Network in America finished #4 in broadcast on the night as it beat FOX, Telemundo and The CW. At 8P, ‘Mi Corazon es Tuyo’ finished with an average of 3.6797 million viewers and a 1.1 A18-49 demo rating. At 9P, ‘Hasta el Fin del Mundo’ finished with an average of 3.543 million viewers and also finished with a 1.1 A18-40 demo rating. At 10P, ‘Que te Perdone Dios’ slipped a bit to finished with an average of 2.841 million viewers and a 1.0 A18-49 demo rating.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast was beaten by Univision because it failed to run fresh programming at the top of the hour. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Gotham’ drew an average of 2.510 million viewers. Right on the heels of Jada Pinkett-Smith announcing her leaving the program after this year, the network didn’t take advantage with fresh programming including the fantastic Fish Mooney. Smith, revealed Monday on ‘Live with Kelly and Michael’ that she will not return for the show’s second season. “I don’t think so, no. I signed for a year and the year is up,” Smith told Ripa.” But, there are some great things coming ahead on ‘Gotham,’ believe you me, there’s a lot of good stuff coming.” Smith signed on for only one season; her character was created expressly for the series. The remaining four episodes of the season won’t air until April. Will will all be poorer for her departure as she created one of the most interesting characters in television. Bad move by either FOX’s PR or Murdoch’s Minions. At 9P, ‘The Following’ that nobody follows drew an average of 3.510 million viewers and finished fifth in the time slot. If it did have a following, it would have beaten Univision’s ‘Hasta el Fin del Mundo’.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t finished below The Mendoza Line. At 8P, ‘The Originals’ finished with 1.400 million viewers on average. Then at 9P, the critically acclaimed but viewer starved ‘Jane the Virgin’ drew an average of 1.260 million viewers. If you can’t understand why more people don’t watch this program, just watch the promo above. Sure. We want to see an episode of television about a pooch on the loose.
Late Night
At 1135P, NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ finished with 3.2/8; ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ finished #2 with a 2.0/5; a rerun of CBS’s ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ had 1.8/5. At 1235A, NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ finished #1 in the time slot with a 1.6/6; ABC’s ‘Nightline’ averaged a 1.2/4; CBS’ ‘Late Late Show’ drew a 1.0/3. At 135A, NBC’s ‘Last Call with Carson Daly’ drew an 0.9/4 to finish the evening…err morning.
