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.

ABC
The Alphabet Network had the Big Game of the NBA season and the Golden State victory over Cleveland in game six of the NBA Finals with resulted in another strong overnight performance for Walt’s World televised the World Championship game. At 8P, ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ finished #2 in the time slot with an average 4.68 million viewers and a 4.9/9. At 830P, it was followed by ‘NBA Countdown’ as it drew an average 6.57 million viewers and a 5.1/9. At 9P, the final match-up (Warriors 105, Cavaliers 97) averaged an estimated 23.25 million viewers and a 15.9 rating/27 share in the household overnights, which was 12% above the approximate 14.2/24 for game five on Sunday. That game averaged 20.86 million viewers, based on the Live + Same Day data. ABC, needless to say, has ownership of the week, and the massive 470 overnight rating rise from the year-ago evening was a result of the comparison to ‘Extreme Weight Loss’ and ‘Celebrity Wife Swap’. Now it’s back to normal with regular programming and regular reruns. But for Tuesday, ABC was king. And the Golden State Warriors are king of the world as they are the Champions of the World in basketball. See digital/mobile/social numbers below.
NBC
The Peacock Network tried singing, dancing and anything else people wanted to do for face time. At 8P, for two hours, ‘America’s Got Talent’ finished with an average 10.18 million viewers and a 6.2/10, down -7% from one week earlier. Then at 10P, ‘I Can Do That”’ fell to a series low with an average 4.42 million viewers and a 2.8/5.
CBS
The Tiffany Network owns Tuesday in the regular TV season. But on a night when the NBA finals are on, it suffers. At 8P, a rerun of ‘NCIS’ finished with an average 7.45 million viewers and a 4.8/8.

FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast … tried. At 8P, ‘FIFA Women’s World Cup’, Nigeria vs United States, finished with an average 5.04 million viewers and a 3.8/6 in the household overnights. Give FOX credit: this will be quite a sports week on the Animal Network as Women’s World Cup and the U.S. Open Golf tournament are on Murdoch’s Animal Baby.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t didn’t. Again. At 8P, a rerun of ‘The Flash’ finished with an average 1.13 million viewers and a 0.8/1. At 9P, a rerun of ‘iZombie’ finished with an average 940,000 viewers and a 0.6/1. It was a throw away Tuesday at the CB/War net.

Customer Service Satisfaction, By Channel
American adults are most likely to rate companies’ customer service via phone (90%) and online chat (85%) as meeting or exceeding expectations, according to a Northridge Group survey. According to a The Northridge Group report, that result is likely related to these being the only channels through which a majority of respondents expect their issue to be resolved the first time they contact the company. The phone is still the preferred method of customer service contact for half of respondents, ahead of email (27%) and online chat (14%). 77% reach first for the phone when they have an urgent customer service issue or inquiry, though email (47%) is a more common first touchpoint than the phone (24%) when it comes to a non-urgent issue. Just 2% of respondents reported that social media is their preferred method to contact a company with a customer service issue or inquiry. Fully one-third said they usually get no response when contacting a company via social media.
France’s Web Users Wary of Sharing Information with Brands
It’s generally agreed that consumers in Western Europe may be more concerned than internet users elsewhere about online security and keeping their personal information safe in the digital era. And a recent Microsoft report, “The Consumer Data Value Exchange,” appears to confirm that. The report drew on survey results provided by marketing solutions firm Sentient Decision Science, which sampled 16,500 internet users ages 16 and older around the world in April 2015, including 2,400 each in China, France and the US.
Specifically, respondents were asked what kinds of information they would be willing to share with brands. These included their activities and preferences, their online social identity—such as social media posts, images, friend lists and so forth—their demographic profile, personal details such as birth dates, income and addresses, GPS location data, and biometrics—such as fingerprints or data collected by a fitness app or band. In almost every case, web users in France were more reluctant than those in China and/or the US to divulge information. For example, internet users in China were nearly twice as likely as their counterparts in France to reveal anything of their activities and preferences, by a margin of 84% to 44%. (In the US, 57% said they would share such data.)
In France, 26% said they would be willing to share social networking details, compared with 32% in China and 68% in the US. Similarly, 32% of web users in China said they would volunteer individual details such as a birthdate, credit card number or address—nearly three times the percentage (11%) in France. Web users in France were especially hesitant about sharing personal communications and information as well as physiological information.
That said, consumers in France weren’t blind to the potential advantages of letting brands have some of this data. Virtually all of those polled said they would share some sensitive information in exchange for cash rewards, and 92% would do so for significant discounts. The prospect of loyalty points applicable to services and products also appealed to 87%. More than half of respondents said they would be motivated to share if a brand offering connected with all their devices and simplified their lives, or—like several sports or fitness brands—supported their goals and encouraged their progress.
Despite such incentives, most web users in France still have some reservations about releasing information, because they’re never sure exactly how—or whether—the recipient is selling it on, as well as making commercial use of it. Of the internet users in France polled for Symantec’s “State of Privacy Report 2015,” only 12% said they were happy with the idea of companies sharing their data with third parties.
