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 Wednesday, June 10, 2015 (Posted on June 11, 2015)
CBS #1 on Wednesday as ‘Criminal Minds’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network may have finished #1 on Wednesday, but it was tarnished as it had a complete schedule of reruns. At 8P, a rerun of ‘The Briefcase’ finished with an average 4.74 million viewers. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Criminal Minds’ finished as the top program on broadcast on Wednesday with an average of 5.63 million viewers. Then at 10P, a rerun of ‘CSI-Cyber’ finished with an average 5.41 million viewers.
ABC
The Alphabet Network was part of rerun night in America on one of the most boring evenings in a long time. At 8P, a rerun of ‘The Middle’ finished with 4.99 million viewers. At 830P, a rerun of ‘The Goldbergs’ finished with 4.40 million viewers. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Modern Family’ finished with an average 4.46 million viewers. At 930P, ‘Black-ish’ finished with an average 3.76 million viewers. Then at 10P, one of the few original airings on Wednesday, ‘Celebrity Wife Swap’ finished with an average 3.34 million viewers.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast finished in the middle of the pack with original programming. At 8P, ‘MasterChef’ finished with an average 4.63 million viewers. Then at 9P, ‘Bullseye’ finished with an average 3.24 million viewers. And the minions were nervous on the lot as Chase Carey was stepping down as COO. James Murdoch will be named chief executive of the company and Lachlan Murdoch will become executive chairman alongside his father as succession plans are now in place. According to British press, Rupert will be stepping down as he is now 84. Murdoch’s Minions are running as fast as they can to avoid the pink slip that is surely coming as the chief can be heard yelling in their head, ‘Off with their heads!’. Perhaps the fortunes of FOX television will be changing. Oh, that hope people are looking for is, hopefully…for the better. In the meantime, Roger Ailes continues to insist he is reporting to Rupert only (for FOX News Channel).
NBC
The Peacock Network did not do so well on Wednesday. At 8P, a rerun of ‘I Can Do That’ finished with 2.51 million viewers. Then at 9P, a rerun of ‘American Ninja Warriors’ finished with an average 3.41 million viewers for its two hour run.
